Malibu Boat Covers

If you own a Malibu, it’s because you want the best so why would you choose any replacement canvas other than the same top-of-the-line quality mooring covers, bimini tops for wake towers, bimini tops, cockpit cover, or tonneau cover it had when it came off the showroom floor? At Great Lakes Boat Top, we work closely with our local neighbor to make sure the Malibu replacement canvas you buy from us matches your factory installed canvas.

Why Great Lakes Boat Top Should be Your Choice for Malibu Canvas

We work with 60 of the largest, most prestigious boat companies in the world — often when a prospective model is nothing more than an image on a computer screen — to design and build mooring covers, tops, cockpit covers, bow covers, enclosures, and accessories for that boat builder. In our extensive library, we have more than 30,000 patterns we use to make replacements for all things canvas for your boat. If your Malibu boat was built after 1992, chances are excellent we can make the original replacement for any canvas item for your specific model.

Because we are the original manufacturers of your canvas, we have the patterns and matching Sunbrella colors along with the correct hardware right in our factory, we can get your order out the door in less than two weeks.

Sunbrella Canvas is the Industry Leader

Over the last six decades, no one in the marine industry has bought more Sunbrella fabric than Great Lakes Boat Top. When it was new, your Malibu watersports boat was outfitted with Sunbrella canvas for a good reason: it stands up year-after-year despite the ravages of the sun’s rays and harsh marine environment. Sunbrella is fluorocarbon-coated, making it water-repellent, yet still breathable. Its acrylic fibers are UV resistant and are dyed before the fabric is woven giving it superior colorfast properties. Sunbrella has an industry-leading 10-year limited warranty for peace of mind that your investment will last. Although Sunbrella’s makers, Glen Raven Inc., has manufacturing facilities around the world, its main factory is a million-square-foot plant in Anderson, South Carolina.

Color-matched canvas is only one aspect of your order. We will also correctly match the zippers, fasteners, fittings, and frames to retain the original look and perfect fit. All you need to do when ordering is give us the correct year, make, and model along with any added accessories — both original and aftermarket — and we will guarantee the order will fit your boat. The snaps for your order will be included but you will install them on the canvas yourself after you receive it. This is to ensure a perfect fit in case there are slight variances where the snap receiver was installed at the factory. Snaps are simple to install and positioning them perfectly will make it a breeze to use your covers. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed by us.

One Quick Way to Tell if a Company is Not an OEM

While some Malibu canvas replacement companies claim to be true Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) companies, if you are asked to provide measurements, it’s almost always a sure sign they are not. When you place an order with Great Lakes Boat Top, we won’t ask for measurements because we already have the factory specs and patterns sourced directly from Malibu Boats for your specific model that our skilled sewers can pull up on their electronic tablets, which are used instead of paper reference books so they can be instantly updated throughout the system should any changes occur. After the item is completed, an inspector can reference the same electronic information on their tablet to make sure the item is ready for shipping and will know what hardware to package with the order.

Although you can request a price quote online, no order will be placed until you speak with one of our customer support agents at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Vonore, Tennessee. This is to ensure you get the right item for your boat and that you are aware of any options, such as different colors, that are available. Don’t be tempted by a company offering a cover or bimini top at a lower price even if they purport to be using the same quality materials. Even if you buy a suit made from the same material as Armani uses, if the fit isn’t perfect, it will look shabby. The same principle applies to replacement canvas.

Appearance is Everything

We know when watersports enthusiasts buy a Malibu they are making a strong statement that says they want the very best. Malibu Boats are among the elite manufacturers with models that often cost well into six figures so owners tend to take care of them and are proud of their boat’s appearance, whether it’s in the water or on a trailer. And because these boats spend more time on dry land, often in full view of the neighbors, having crisp new Malibu OEM replacement canvas is one of the best ways to keep it looking like you just bought it. Also, having a new mooring cover is a great way to keep the interior of your Malibu looking like it just left the factory. Even if your boat canvas is still in good shape, switching to a new color instantly gives your boat a fresh appearance.

The reason owners buy Malibu boats is because they deliver no-compromise products that will exceed their expectations for years to come. We can relate; that’s been our philosophy at Great Lakes Boat Top since 1957.
