Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.
*The warranty periods above are provided by the fabric manufacturer and cover the material itself. For details on what’s included in the warranty for your completed cover, please see our warranty page.

Tidewater 252 Adventure T-Top Boat Cover — 25-Foot Offshore Workhorse Protection
The Tidewater 252 CC Adventure is a 25-foot offshore fishing machine — 25’0″ overall with a 9’3″ beam, approximately 4,930-lb dry weight, and power up to 400 HP on a single outboard. The 21-degree deadrise hull is built for serious blue-water conditions, slicing through offshore swells with the kind of confidence that lets you run past the jetties even when conditions are marginal. With 126 gallons of fuel, the 252 Adventure has the range for distant reef runs, canyon trips, and all-day tournament fishing. Built in Lexington, South Carolina with Tidewater’s heaviest-duty CGSV construction, this is the brand’s premier offshore platform. Browse the full collection of T-Top boat covers for protection across every hull in the fleet.
Engineered for the 252 Adventure’s Offshore Footprint
This T-Top cover handles the 252 Adventure’s substantial 25-foot profile — pattern-cut for the T-Top frame, center console, leaning post, tournament-grade rod storage, twin livewells, integrated tackle center, and the 252’s expansive casting areas. Reinforced cutouts wrap around T-Top legs without bunching, and the cover drapes over the full hull from bow to stern. Installation takes one person under five minutes with the heavy-duty strap-and-buckle system, and the hem cord tucks beneath the rubrail for a secure fit at highway speed. At 16 inches of draft, the 252 Adventure requires a standard deep-water ramp. For the next model in the Adventure series, see the Tidewater 272 Adventure T-Top cover.
Fabric Built for Blue-Water Duty
The 252 Adventure’s offshore life means constant exposure to salt spray, intense UV, and the corrosive conditions of open-ocean fishing. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of protection, or upgrade to Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of premium service life. Both fabrics feature water-repellent DWR treatment, mildew resistance, and breathable construction that prevents trapped moisture from damaging the 252’s electronics, upholstery, and gel coat. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points handle the cover’s large surface area, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship. For cross-type coverage, explore the Tidewater 220 SUV center console cover for additional fleet protection.
