Boat Covers & Tarps for Winter Preparation 

Find the best-quality lightweight, weather-proof boat covers, tarps, and accessories to winterize your watercraft. Make sure your boat is protected from cold temps, snow, sleet, rain, and inclement weather.  

Shop durable, water-repellent boat covers that can be tailored to fit the specific contours of your vessel.  

How Can I Protect My Boat In the Winter? 

Winter boat tarps fully secure your craft from inclement weather, including rain, snow, and freezing temperatures.  

Consider the following factors when choosing a boat cover or tarp: 

  • The size of the boat 
  • The conditions it will be exposed to 
  • How long the boat will be in storage 
  • Whether you want to reuse the cover  

Can I Cover My Boat With a Tarp for Winter? 

Yes, a quality tarp or cover can completely protect your boat from harsh winter weather. Fortunately, the process for securing the cover to your boat is pretty straightforward.  

Consider whether your watercraft has any sharp edges. If so, cover them with padding to prevent the tarp from being punctured. Next, unfold the cover and stretch it over the length of the boat. Arrange the tarp so it covers all areas uniformly, and then you can begin to strap it down. You can secure the tarp with boat cover tie downs and boat cover supports to ensure it remains intact while stored for the winter.  

Once the cover is secured, check the perimeter of the boat for possible issues. Sagging fabric can cause a major headache while your boat is stored, as pooling water will put pressure on boat components. Conversely, a taut cover allows moisture to run off the boat, which alleviates pressure and keeps your vessel in great condition.  

What Is the Best Material to Cover a Boat for Winter? 

The majority of boat tarp covers are either made from acrylic or polyester. While both fabrics offer some key benefits, one might be more suitable for your specific storage conditions.  

First, the similarities: acrylic and polyester are derived from plastic, which is melted and formed in yarn that is woven together to create the cover. Both repel water, and both offer reliable resistance against sun exposure, as well as a host of chemicals.  

However, acrylic is an insulator, which means it will trap heat within the cover. On the other hand, polyester is breathable and will allow air to flow around the boat components. Breathability is important for deterring mold growth, which can occur if moisture becomes trapped under the cover.  

Polyester also offers dependable resistance against damage, while acrylic can fall victim to lint formation, also known as pilling. You can avoid pilling by purchasing a fabric treatment for acrylic.
