How much does a boat cover cost?

Boat covers range from $80 to $1,500 or more depending on hull type, size, and whether the cover is universal-fit or custom-made. Most universal-fit covers for mid-size boats fall between $120 and $400.

The biggest cost driver is fit type. A universal-fit pontoon cover sized for a 22–24 ft deck with 1200D Oxford fabric and a 9600pa waterproof rating typically runs $150–$350. Custom or semi-custom canvas covers made to a specific hull profile can push $800–$1,500 or higher. Jet ski covers sit at the lower end — most quality PWC covers with sealed seams land between $80 and $180 depending on seat count and fabric grade.
