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 Cape Horn 24 XS cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (rated 5-7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (rated 8-10 years). Both are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant. The 9oz comes in Navy, Black, and Charcoal; Sunbrella adds more color choices.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut specifically for the 24 XS layout, including the forward seating area with 320 quarts of storage, rear bench with integrated 35-gallon livewell, and all additional hardware that differentiates the XS from the OS variant.
Drape the cover, align the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and buckle the tie-down straps. One person, under 5 minutes, no tools.
Yes. Reinforced seams, a cinching hem cord, and adjustable straps keep the cover locked tight during trailering. The system is designed for sustained highway-speed travel.
Absolutely. The cover fully encloses all seating surfaces — forward seats, rear bench, helm area, and leaning post. This blocks UV that fades and cracks vinyl, and prevents salt residue buildup that degrades stitching over time.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. The fabric itself is rated for 5-7 years (9oz) or 8-10 years (Sunbrella) of UV and weather exposure.
Water-resistant with a breathable DWR finish. It sheds rain and dock spray while allowing air circulation underneath — preventing trapped moisture that causes mildew on the 24 XS's expanded seating and storage compartments.
No. While both share the same hull dimensions (25'1" LOA, 9'1" beam), the 24 XS has a different deck layout with forward seating, a rear bench, and additional storage. Each model gets its own pattern-specific cover.
Yes, the cover fits all 24 XS model years with a factory T-Top during standard production. The 24 XS is current-production, so the pattern matches the latest specifications.
Yes — free standard shipping to the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Cape Horn 24 XS T-Top Boat Cover — Extra Seating, Extra Storage, Extra Reason to Cover It Right
The Cape Horn 24 XS takes the proven 25’1″ offshore hull and adds the room you need when the crew includes family — 320 quarts of forward seating storage, a rear bench with its own 35-gallon livewell, and the same 136-gallon fuel tank and 400 HP capability as the OS variant. Built on a 23-degree deadrise platform with foam-filled composite construction refined over 35 years by the Fabbro family in Milton, Florida, the 24 XS packs a lot of hardware into a trailerable package. A custom-fitted T-Top boat cover keeps all of it protected between trips — the expanded seating upholstery, walk-in console electronics, and every gasket surface that UV and salt degrade fast in the Southeast heat. Pair the cover with a center console boat cover for additional helm protection options.
Pattern-Cut to the 24 XS’s Dual-Purpose Layout
This cover is pattern-cut to the Cape Horn 24 XS’s specific dimensions, wrapping beneath the T-Top hardtop while leaving the fiberglass roof exposed. The XS adds forward seating, a rear bench with integrated livewell, and additional storage compartments that the OS variant doesn’t have — which means more surfaces exposed to the elements. Reinforced cutouts accommodate the T-Top legs, and the cover drapes cleanly over the walk-in console, forward seating area, and rear bench without bunching against the extra hardware. Installation takes one person under five minutes — secure the hem cord at the rubrail, buckle the adjustable tie-down straps, and the reinforced construction handles highway-speed trailering. For owners stepping up to twin-engine offshore range, the Cape Horn 27 OS T-Top cover delivers the same precision-fit protection on a 26’9″ hull.
Cover Protection That Keeps the XS Extras Looking New
Extra seating means extra upholstery — vinyl, foam cushions, and stitching that UV and saltwater degrade fast without cover protection. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric blocks UV and sheds rain for 5-7 years, while premium Sunbrella acrylic extends that to 8-10 years for boats that live on a lift or in a slip. The breathable DWR finish prevents trapped moisture that ruins gel coat and corrodes electrical connections underneath. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points handle wind loading during long-term storage and trailering, and every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard delivery. For tournament-class offshore coverage on a bigger Cape Horn platform, the Cape Horn 31 Tournament T-Top cover handles 800 HP and 100-mile runs with the same custom-fitted engineering.
