When it comes to insurance, we’ve got your covered!

Owning a boat is about freedom, adventure and time well spent with family and friends.

An experienced boat owner will also understand something equally important: protecting your investment is just as important as enjoying it.

Across the UK, vessels face year-round exposure to risks – from relentless UV degradation and driving rain to airborne debris, accidental impact, and the slow effects of moisture and corrosion. 

And whilst a quality boat cover protects your boat physically, the proper insurance protects you financially.

At Canvasman, we believe effective protection begins long before a claim is ever made.

Designed and manufactured in Yorkshire, our made-to-measure boat covers are precision engineered to protect vessels in all conditions—combining traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and technical design. Every stitch, seam, and fitting is created with one purpose: to safeguard your investment with uncompromising reliability.

When it comes to marine protection, prevention is always the first line of defence.

A professionally fitted boat cover helps minimise avoidable deterioration caused by:

• Prolonged UV exposure 
• Heavy rainfall and standing moisture 
• Wind-borne debris 
• Bird fouling and organic contamination 
• Premature fading, cracking, and corrosion 

By protecting upholstery, helm stations, electronics, paintwork, and internal finishes, a quality cover helps preserve both appearance and long-term value of your investment.

Yet physical protection is only part of the equation.

Where engineered protection safeguards the vessel itself, specialist marine insurance protects the owner against the unexpected – covering the financial risks that even the best preparation cannot entirely remove.

That is why we encourage customers to work with trusted marine insurance specialists such as Craftinsure.

With over 20 years’ experience of marine insurance their policies are designed specifically for UK boat owners, policies can include protection for:

• Accidental damage 
• Theft and attempted theft 
• Storm and weather-related loss 
• Third-party liability 
• Marina and waterways compliance requirements 

For many owners, third-party liability cover is not simply advisable—it is essential.

Why Protection Works Best in Partnership

At Canvasman, our philosophy has always reflected the principles of British engineering: build properly, plan ahead, and protect for the long term.

That is why we see physical protection and financial protection not as separate considerations, but as complementary.

• A precision-made cover helps prevent damage before it occurs.
• Specialist insurance provides resilience when the unexpected happens.
• Together, they provide confidence without compromise.
