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.

Blue Wave 2600 Makaira T-Top Boat Cover — Hybrid Offshore Power, Custom-Fitted Shield
The Blue Wave 2600 Makaira measures 25 feet 6 inches overall with a 9-foot 2-inch beam, approximately 5,050 pounds dry weight, and accepts up to 400 horsepower. This is the entry point to Blue Wave’s Makaira series — named after the blue marlin — and it delivers genuine offshore capability through an 18-degree deadrise hull with Blue Wave’s proprietary Performance Enhancing Engineered Pocket Tunnel. Built by the Parks family in Seminole, Oklahoma since 1992, the 2600 Makaira carries 126 gallons of fuel for extended bluewater runs while maintaining a hybrid hull design that still handles bay and nearshore work. Protect this serious fishing platform with a cover custom-fitted by Blue Wave boat cover specialists who know the Makaira’s exact dimensions and layout.
Tailored to the 2600 Makaira’s Offshore-Ready Layout
Pattern-cut to the 2600 Makaira’s wider 9-foot 2-inch beam and hybrid hull profile, this cover features reinforced cutouts around the T-Top support legs and accommodates the expanded console, tempered glass windshield, flip-up aft bench seat, bow seating, and built-in rod lockers. No loose material, no bunching — just a precise wrap from gunwale to gunwale. Installation is a solo job under five minutes: drape, position the T-Top cutouts, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle system at the rubrail. Reinforced construction handles highway-speed trailering. For the next step up in Blue Wave’s offshore lineup, the 2800 Makaira T-Top cover fits the 27-foot flagship with the same precision.
Fabric Engineered for Saltwater Service
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5 to 7 years of UV and weather resistance, 7oz solution-dyed for lighter-duty storage, or Sunbrella acrylic rated for 8 to 10 years in the harshest marine environments. Water-repellent DWR finish, mildew-resistant treatment, and double-stitched seams come standard across all options. A 2-year manufacturer warranty protects your purchase. If you also run a Blue Wave bay boat, the 2300 Pure Bay center console cover keeps the inshore rig protected between trips.
