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.

Blue Wave 2800 Makaira T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Offshore Protection
The Blue Wave 2800 Makaira is the flagship of the lineup — 27 feet 2 inches overall, a 9-foot 2-inch beam, approximately 5,000 pounds dry, and rated for up to 600 horsepower. Built by Blue Wave Boats in Seminole, Oklahoma, the 2800 Makaira runs a 17-degree deadrise hull with the proprietary Performance Enhancing Engineered Pocket Tunnel, carries 135 gallons of fuel for serious offshore range, and features built-in rod storage in the gunwales plus a Frigid Rigid coffin box that doubles as a forward lounge. This is a dedicated bluewater machine that demands dedicated protection — a custom-fitted T-Top cover engineered to the 2800 Makaira’s exact dimensions, shielding the cockpit from sun exposure, salt air, rain, and environmental damage between runs.
Tailored to the 2800 Makaira’s Tournament-Class Layout
This cover is pattern-cut for the 2800 Makaira’s wide 9-foot 2-inch beam and deep cockpit, with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top frame legs that leave the hardtop exposed. The design wraps cleanly around the expanded center console, toe kicks, combing bolsters, rod storage gunwales, coffin box, and aft fishing station. Installation is a one-person job under five minutes — drape over the hull, position the T-Top cutouts, and lock down the adjustable strap-and-buckle system at the rubrail. Reinforced seams and secure tie-downs handle highway-speed trailering. For the hybrid alternative in Blue Wave’s 28-foot class, the 2800 Pure Hybrid T-Top cover fits the lighter, more versatile variant.
Offshore-Grade Fabric for Offshore-Grade Equipment
Match the 2800 Makaira’s build quality with 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5 to 7 years, 7oz solution-dyed for lighter coverage, or Sunbrella acrylic that delivers 8 to 10 years in the most demanding saltwater environments. Water-repellent DWR finish, mildew resistance, and double-stitched seams are standard on every option. A 2-year manufacturer warranty backs the construction. For a completely different size in the Blue Wave family, the 20 SL center console cover protects the entry-level bay boat with the same attention to fit.
