Awning Repair

top quality repair service to prolong the life and maintain the look and design of your marine covers and enclosures.

Top Repair

Whether a large yacht enclosure or wee little runabout, we can match the original material or tailor it to your changing needs.

Seat repair

Boat seats probably endure more wear than any other fixture on a vessel. Dockside Canvas Company’s upholstery craftsmen routinely patch holes.

Snaps & hardware replacement

expertly crafted snaps and hardware replacements, we ensure every detail reflects the timeless beauty.

Window replacement

canvas covers finally begin to break down, the windows are usually the first thing to show their age. Especially the panels that get the most direct sunlight.

Zipper repair

Broken boat top zippers, missing teeth and broken sliders. Perhaps no other part of a boat’s canvas takes more use and abuse than the zippers.

Custom alterations

As a custom shop, we not only fabricate brand new work but also can do just about any creative, custom alteration one can imagine. A boat can be a dynamic, ever changing adventure.

Re-stitch

When thread on a boat top wears out, breaks and unravels, it’s time for a re-stitch. Even marine grade UV protected poly thread will break down after about 5 years of sun exposure.

Velcro replacement

Worn out Velcro can be quite bothersome when panels and openings no longer seal tight.

"The attention to detail at The Ship’s Tailor is unmatched. They not only fixed the tear in my canvas but reinforced it for future voyages. I won't trust anyone else with my boat."
