Custom Fit Boat Covers for Chaos Boats
Chaos Boats builds high-quality fiberglass flats and bay boats in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where founders Marc and Heather Vickers craft custom, Carolina-style shallow-water skiffs by hand. Models like the Chaos 16 Bonefish and 21 Tarpon Bay are wood-free, vacuum-built hulls that can be configured with a closed bow, center console, or small tower to suit how you fish. These purpose-built skiffs reward careful ownership — and a snug, custom cover. Ours are patterned to your exact model and year.

Chaos Boat Cover Features and Benefits
Cut to your exact Chaos model and year so the cover hugs the low flats or bay profile instead of draping loose like a universal cover.
Solution-dyed marine fabric resists the Florida sun, salt, and humidity without fading, keeping your skiff protected season after season.
A water-repellent finish helps rain and spray sheet off instead of pooling, while breathable construction limits trapped moisture and mildew.
Every Chaos cover is custom cut and sewn to order in the USA with reinforced seams, secure tie-downs, and a tailored fit.
About Chaos Boats
Chaos Boats is a small, hands-on builder of high-quality flats and bay boats based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, founded by Marc and Heather Vickers. The shop builds wood-free, fully composite hulls using vacuum-sealing technology, with custom Carolina-style styling that owners can spec to their own preferences. The core lineup — the Chaos 16 Bonefish and the 21 Tarpon Bay — spans roughly 16 to 21 feet, and can be ordered with a closed bow, center console, or small tower depending on how you fish.
Why Protect Your Chaos with a Custom Cover?
A flats or bay skiff lives in the elements — intense Florida sun, salt spray, and afternoon rain all work on the gelcoat, deck, and rigging. A well-fitted cover shields the casting deck, console, and seating on the trailer, at the dock, or in storage, helping a custom-built boat hold its finish and its value.
Custom-Fit vs. Generic Covers
A universal cover sits loose, flaps at highway speed, and traps moisture against the finish. Our Chaos covers are patterned to your specific model and year for a tailored fit that sheds water, resists wind, and stays put — the fit a hand-built skiff deserves.
Built for a Custom Flats & Bay Skiff
Because a Chaos can be configured with a closed bow, center console, or small tower, two boats of the same model can need different covers. We pattern to your exact model and setup so the cover hugs the deck and console and holds tight, accommodating your rigging as your boat is built.
Features of Our Chaos Boat Covers
Each cover is crafted from marine-grade, UV-resistant fabric chosen to handle sun, salt, and humidity without fading or cracking. Reinforced stitching, tailored seams, and secure tie-downs keep it snug and quiet on the road, while a water-repellent finish helps rain and spray run off instead of soaking through.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chaos Boat Covers
Which models do you provide covers for?
We provide custom-made covers for the Chaos 21 Tarpon Bay, tailored to fit the model perfectly and protect it from the elements.
Are these covers waterproof?
Our covers are water-resistant, providing effective protection against rain and moisture. While not fully waterproof, they do an excellent job of keeping your boat dry in typical weather conditions.
Can I trailer my boat with the cover on?
Yes, our covers are designed for trailering, offering protection from road debris, dust, and weather exposure during transport, keeping your boat secure throughout the journey.
How do I choose the right cover for my Chaos boat?
Use our cover selector tool to find the best fit for your Chaos 21 Tarpon Bay. Simply enter the make and model to discover the available options.
What’s the best way to care for my boat cover?
Regular maintenance involves brushing off loose dirt and rinsing with fresh water. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals to extend the lifespan of your cover.
Which Chaos models do you make covers for?
We make custom covers for Chaos flats and bay boats, including the 16 Bonefish and 21 Tarpon Bay. Tell us your model, year, and rigging (closed bow, console, tower) and we'll match the right pattern.
My Chaos has a tower or console — does that change the cover?
It does. A center console, closed bow, or small tower each changes the shape the cover has to clear, and each takes a different pattern. Let us know how your boat is set up and we'll build the cover to fit it.
I have an older Chaos — can you still cover it?
Yes. These hand-built skiffs are made to last, and we pattern covers for both current and older Chaos hulls. Give us your model and year and we'll match the correct fit.
Are your Chaos covers made in the USA?
Yes — every Chaos cover is custom-made in the USA from marine-grade, water-repellent fabric built to handle sun and salt.
