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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The standard Key Largo 180 cover is crafted from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric — a heavy-duty polyester weave that resists UV degradation, mildew, and water penetration for 5 to 7 years. A premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade is also available, rated for 8 to 10 years. Both options are solution-dyed, locking pigment into the fiber during manufacturing for fade resistance that outlasts surface-applied dyes.
The cover creates a single tent-like shape that peaks at the center console — the tallest point on the Key Largo 180 — and slopes smoothly down to the gunwales on all sides. The outboard engine is fully enclosed inside the cover with no secondary bump or exposed sections. Everything from the bow to the transom is sealed beneath one continuous canopy.
One person can install the Key Largo 180 cover in under five minutes. Drape the cover over the center console, pull the fabric down to the gunwales on all sides, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs along the rubrail. A hem cord provides a continuous perimeter seal. No tools or additional hardware needed.
Yes. The Key Largo 180 cover is reinforced for highway-speed trailering. The adjustable tie-down straps and hem cord keep the fabric taut and secure during towing, so you can haul your Key Largo 180 between ramps and storage without removing the cover.
Absolutely. The Key Largo 180 cover creates a complete barrier over the entire boat, shielding helm electronics, fishfinder, seat cushions, rod holders, livewell, and any mounted accessories from UV exposure, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and wind-blown debris. Breathable fabric prevents condensation buildup underneath.
Every Key Largo 180 cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is rated for 5 to 7 years, and the Sunbrella acrylic upgrade is rated for 8 to 10 years — delivering protection well beyond the warranty period.
The Key Largo 180 cover is water-resistant with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off. It is designed to be breathable rather than fully waterproof, allowing trapped moisture and humidity to escape and preventing mildew growth and condensation damage inside the boat.
The cover fits all standard production years of the Key Largo 180 center console. Key Largo's 180 CC hull dimensions have remained consistent across the model's production run, so the cover delivers a precise fit regardless of model year.
The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric comes in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The Sunbrella acrylic upgrade opens up an expanded color palette with additional shades. All color options are solution-dyed for long-term fade resistance that outperforms surface-dyed fabrics.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover to anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive in a compact, easy-to-store package.
Key Largo 180 Center Console Boat Cover — Compact Inshore Workhorse, Covered
The Key Largo 180 is a 17-foot-10-inch center console that packs genuine fishing capability into a compact, easy-to-trailer platform built for Florida’s inshore waters. Manufactured by the Caravelle Boat Group in Merritt Island, Florida — a builder with deep roots in affordable, purpose-driven fishing boats — the 180 CC delivers a stable modified-V hull with 19-degree deadrise, a functional open deck, and the shallow draft that gets anglers into back-bay creeks and grass flats where bigger boats cannot follow. At 17’10” LOA with a 7’6″ beam, a dry weight around 1,650 lbs, a maximum rating of 115 HP, 35 gallons of fuel capacity, and a draft of approximately 12 inches, this boat launches from any ramp and runs skinny water with confidence. Our custom-fitted center console cover for the Key Largo 180 is pattern-cut to the exact hull dimensions of this compact platform, creating a single tent-like canopy that peaks at the center console and slopes down to the gunwales in every direction — fully enclosing the console, deck, seating, and outboard engine beneath one continuous protective shell. Browse boat shade kits for additional sun protection options on the water.
Tailored to the 180’s Efficient Inshore Layout
The Key Largo 180’s 7-foot-6-inch beam gives anglers enough room to work while keeping the boat nimble in tight creeks and narrow channels, and our cover is engineered to follow every contour of that efficient layout. The cover creates a single continuous canopy that peaks at the center console — the highest point on the boat — and slopes smoothly down to the gunwales on all sides, enclosing the bow, beam, and stern in one unbroken shape. The outboard engine at the transom is fully enclosed inside the cover with no secondary bump, gap, or exposed hardware — just a clean, tent-like profile from console peak to waterline. The forward casting area, center console with helm station, cooler seat, rod holders, livewell, and the entire transom area including the engine are all sealed beneath the canopy. A hem cord runs along the rubrail for a continuous perimeter seal, and adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs lock the cover firmly in place. One person can complete the full installation in under five minutes. The cover is fully reinforced for highway-speed trailering. For the largest Key Largo in the lineup, see the Key Largo 216 LX center console cover built for the 22-foot flagship platform.
Protection That Matches Key Largo Quality
The Key Largo 180 is named after a place where boats live outdoors year-round — and the cover protecting it has to handle those same conditions. Intense UV, salt-laden humidity, sudden thunderstorms, and the mildew that takes hold the moment a boat sits uncovered in the Florida heat. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric delivers 5 to 7 years of UV resistance, water repellency, and mildew protection with double-stitched seams and UV-resistant thread throughout. For owners who want maximum longevity, the premium Sunbrella acrylic option extends durability to 8 to 10 years with the same breathable, solution-dyed construction. Every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
