Kayak/Canoe Cover up to 3.9 m (Waterproof Storage Cover)

This kayak/canoe cover is designed to protect your boat in all conditions – whether you’re storing your kayak in the garage, in the yard, or transporting it to your next adventure. Sized for boats up to 3.9 meters long, the cover envelops the entire hull from bow to stern, shielding against UV rays that can cause plastic to fade or crack, as well as against rain, snow, dust, and critters.

The fabric is a marine-grade polyester that’s specially treated to be waterproof and mildew-resistant. This means even with prolonged exposure to moisture, the material won’t let water seep through to your kayak, nor will it develop mold. The UV-resistant quality ensures that harsh sunlight won’t degrade or weaken your boat’s material during long-term outdoor storage.

The cover’s design allows for incredibly easy use. The bag-style construction with a full-length side zipper lets you literally “dress” your boat: place the kayak’s bow into the front of the cover, pull the cover back over the hull to the stern, then zip it closed. This approach provides a snug fit without the need for complicated ropes or cords. For added security – especially when transporting the covered kayak on a car roof rack or trailer – there’s an integrated elastic hem that grips around the edges of the boat, along with several adjustable straps. These can be tightened to ensure the cover won’t flap or blow off in the wind.

Notable features and uses:

• Complete Storage Protection: When stowing your kayak for the off-season or between outings, the cover will guard it from dust, critters (e.g., birds, rodents), and moisture. Your boat stays clean and ready to go, saving you from heavy cleaning after long storage.
• Transportation: During transit of your kayak/canoe on a vehicle roof, using the cover shields it from insects, road grit, and dirt. Additionally, it can reduce drag by covering cockpit openings and protrusions, which might stabilize the ride and improve fuel efficiency slightly.
• Easy Maintenance: If the cover gets dirty, you can simply hose it down or wash it with mild soap, then let it air dry in the shade. The material dries quickly and is ready to use again in no time.
• Storing the Cover: The package includes a mesh storage bag so you can fold and pack the cover compactly when not in use. The mesh design ensures ventilation – important if you stow the cover while it’s a bit damp, as it prevents condensation buildup and mildew.

By using this cover, you’re investing in the longevity of your kayak or canoe. The manufacturer EVAL provides a 3-year warranty on the fabric, underscoring its quality and durability. You can confidently leave your boat covered all summer or winter, knowing it’s well-protected. The kayak/canoe cover up to 3.9 m is an essential accessory for anyone who values their watercraft and wants to keep it in top condition for years to come.
