Who is Harbor Canvas Company, LLC?

My name is David and I'm the owner/operator of Harbor Canvas Company, LLC. I'm an avid and lifelong passionate boater professionally trained in custom marine canvas fabrication. My passion for marine canvas work started in 2006 with the restoration  of a 1967 Chris Craft and eventually evolved into the formation of Harbor Canvas Company in 2014. I specialize in, and focus on;

  • Custom Marine Canvas: bimini's and enclosures, sailboat dodgers, custom boat covers and hardtop enclosures, navy (convertible) tops and canvas service & repair.
  • Custom porch enclosures in both acrylic and screen.
  • Custom screen garage door enclosures.
  • Custom marine and outdoor cushions.
  • Canvas & acrylic Covid protection barriers.
  • Sun & sail shades.
  • Custom duck canvas bags including duffle, ditty, and tote bags.

"Custom marine canvas" means the canvas work is specifically designed for the details on your boat. And, just as importantly, for your needs and application. This insures a custom, clean fit, professional appearance and a quality that is rarely, if ever replicated by factory canvas products.

Each canvas project is patterned on your boat and framing to insure the best possible look and fit. I also use a very meticulous method and unique design that's carried across in all  my canvas projects. You'll find similar design elements in all my Bimini Tops and Enclosures. There's even certain distinct elements noticeable in the Dodgers (both Traditional and California). Some of these design elements include concealed external zippers. This not only creates a very nice, clean custom look, but it also protects the zipper from the elements and UV exposure. I also use custom designed forward and aft visors, straight, by curve or flip trace depending on the tops needs. These visors are double material which give a much better look. It also makes the visors much more durable and able to hold a clean form.

All of the framing hardware is marine grade stainless steel. I don't use plastic fittings or aluminum tubing. The frames are custom designed by me and fabricated right in my shop. Again, this is the only way to produce that clean, custom look.

I use only quality, marine grade products including lifelong Solarfix UV thread and Sunbrella marine fabrics. The use of marine grade, UV resistant products is paramount when it comes to the marine canvas application. Some factory or off the shelf products keep their pricing low by offering lesser quality material. While this may save in the initial cost, it inevitability results in a much shorter lifespan, poorer quality cover, poorer fit and more money in the long run.
