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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Freeman 47 T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as the standard option, with a premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade available. The 9oz fabric provides 5-7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent protection, while the Sunbrella option extends that to 8-10 years of fade-proof performance. Both fabrics are solution-dyed for maximum color retention under the intense UV conditions of offshore and Bahamas fishing.
Yes. The Freeman 47 T-Top cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs, allowing the cover to drape from the hardtop down over the hull while the white fiberglass hardtop roof remains fully exposed on top. The cover is designed specifically for the Freeman 47's catamaran hull geometry and T-Top configuration.
Installation takes under 5 minutes and can be done solo, though an extra set of hands is helpful on a 47-foot boat. Drape the cover over the bow and pull it back toward the stern, fitting the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs. Pull the adjustable straps across the 13'2" beam and buckle them at the rubrail. The hem cord along the bottom edge secures the cover against the hull. No tools required.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Freeman 47. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the Freeman 47's 53" x 20" helm dash, multi-display electronics suite, six forward-facing seats in double-row configuration, and premium cockpit upholstery. It blocks UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and airborne debris — essential for protecting the extensive systems on Freeman's flagship catamaran.
Your Freeman 47 cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off. It is intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this prevents mildew and mold growth underneath the cover, critical for a lift-kept vessel in humid coastal environments.
Yes. The Freeman 47 T-Top cover is designed to fit all production years of the Freeman 47 equipped with a factory T-Top. Since Freeman custom-builds every hull, minor variations may exist, but the cover's adjustable strap system accommodates these differences while maintaining a snug, custom fit across all model years.
The Freeman 47 cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Freeman 47 cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Freeman 47 T-Top Boat Cover — The Biggest Catamaran Deserves the Best Cover
The Freeman 47 is a 47’2″ catamaran center console with a 13’2″ beam, 21,000-pound dry weight, and up to 1,800 horsepower from four outboards pushing this twin-hull flagship past 65 mph and cruising at 45 mph with a 720-mile range on 1,025 gallons of fuel. Built one hull at a time at Freeman Boatworks’ 300,000-square-foot facility in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, the 47 is the largest and most capable center console catamaran in production — carrying 88 gallons of freshwater, twin 500-quart below-deck fish boxes, twin 510-quart gullwing coffin boxes, and twin 50-gallon pressurized transom livewells. Whether you’re running to the Bahamas or fishing a canyon tournament, a custom-fitted T-Top cover for the Freeman 47 keeps this investment protected with the kind of quality boat shade kits and covers that serious offshore fishermen trust.
Tailored to the Freeman 47’s Flagship Layout
This T-Top cover is pattern-cut to the Freeman 47’s catamaran dimensions — the largest platform in our Freeman lineup. The cover drapes from the hardtop frame down over the center console with its 53″ x 20″ helm dash, the six forward-facing seats in a double-row configuration, the twin gullwing coffin boxes, and the quad-engine transom before tucking beneath the rubrail with a reinforced hem cord. The cover accounts for the 47’s massive 13’2″ beam and the catamaran tunnel geometry with fabric that follows every contour of the twin-hull form. Under five minutes to install solo — drape, strap, and buckle. The 47 is the pinnacle of Freeman’s lineup — for the next size down, see the Freeman 37 T-Top cover.
Protection for the Pinnacle of Offshore Catamaran Engineering
Billy Freeman started building catamarans in his garage in 2007 because he wanted a faster, smoother ride to the Gulf Stream. Nearly two decades and almost a thousand boats later, the 47 represents the culmination of that vision — hand-laid biaxial and triaxial fiberglass over vinylester resin and a closed-cell structural core, custom-built in a facility that employs 300 craftspeople. The cover protecting it uses the same commitment to quality: 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5–7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent, mildew-resistant protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade-proof performance. Double-stitched seams and our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) come standard. For the Vented Hull model that established Freeman’s reputation, see the Freeman 34 VH T-Top cover.
