A good boat cover is the simplest way to protect your hull, cockpit and fittings from UV, rain, dust and salt when the boat is laid up. At HiNelson we stock over 40 boat covers from trusted brands including Osculati, Ocean South and TREM, with prices ranging from €62 to €570 to suit small tenders through to larger cruisers.
Whether you need a compact cover for a RIB, a breathable option for winter storage or a heavy duty cover for outdoor mooring, choosing the right fit and fabric makes all the difference. Our range covers the main storage and transport needs across the season.
When choosing, check your boat's overall length, beam and any fittings that sit proud of the deck. A breathable fabric is best for winter lay-up to prevent condensation, while a fully waterproof cover suits short-term outdoor protection. Support poles and straps help water run off rather than pool on the fabric.
All covers are shipped across the EU with clear specifications on each product page, so you can match size and fabric to how you store or transport your boat.
The best cover is the one that fits your boat and storage method. Made to measure covers give the closest fit, while heavy duty fabrics are best for outdoor mooring and towing.
It's generally called a boat cover or storage cover. Fitted versions for the helm area are sometimes referred to as cockpit or console covers.
Yes. A cover protects against UV fading, rain, dirt and salt, reduces maintenance and helps preserve upholstery, gelcoat and fittings over the off-season.
For short-term outdoor use, a waterproof cover is ideal. For long winter storage, choose a breathable water-resistant fabric to avoid trapping condensation inside.
