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 27 XS cover comes 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 is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal; Sunbrella offers additional colors.
Yes. Reinforced cutouts wrap around the T-Top legs, and the cover extends aft over the full transom area including twin-engine rigging. The hardtop remains exposed while all deck surfaces below are protected.
Under 5 minutes solo. Drape the cover, align the T-Top cutouts, secure the hem cord along the rubrail, and buckle the adjustable straps. No tools required.
Yes. Double-stitched seams, cinching hem cord, and adjustable tie-down straps keep the cover secure during highway trailering. The 27 XS's 4,200 lb hull provides a stable towing platform.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the entire cockpit including the 700-quart insulated fish box, 42-gallon livewell, 85-quart drink cooler, electronics, and all upholstery surfaces.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. The fabric is independently rated for 5-7 years (9oz) or 8-10 years (Sunbrella) of continuous outdoor exposure.

Cape Horn 27 XS T-Top Boat Cover — 600 Horses and a 700-Quart Fish Box Need Serious Coverage
The Cape Horn 27 XS runs twin outboards up to 600 HP total on a 26’9″ hull that the Fabbro family has refined over 35 years at their Milton, Florida facility. The 23-degree deadrise carves through offshore chop, the 175-gallon fuel tank gets you to the edge and back, and the 700-quart insulated fish box with macerator handles a tournament-day haul. Add a 42-gallon livewell, 25 rod holders, and a walk-in console with over 6 feet of headroom, and you’ve got a serious amount of fishing hardware exposed to salt, sun, and weather every trip. A custom-fitted T-Top boat cover keeps all of it shielded between runs — console electronics, expanded seating upholstery, livewell gaskets, and every gel coat surface that UV degrades without protection. Pair the cover with a boat shade kit for full sun protection on the water and off.
Pattern-Cut to the 27 XS’s Extra-Everything Layout
This cover is pattern-cut to the Cape Horn 27 XS’s specific dimensions, wrapping beneath the T-Top hardtop while leaving the fiberglass roof exposed. The XS stands for extra seating and storage, which means more upholstery, more compartment lids, and more gasket surfaces that need cover protection. Reinforced cutouts accommodate the T-Top legs, and the cover drapes cleanly over the walk-in console, leaning post, and expanded seating areas without bunching against the additional hardware. The twin-engine transom area is fully covered, protecting powerheads and rigging from UV and corrosion. Installation takes one person under five minutes — hem cord at the rubrail, adjustable straps buckled tight, ready for trailering or long-term storage. For a lighter single-engine alternative on the same foam-filled platform, the Cape Horn 24 OS T-Top cover delivers the same precision-fit protection for inshore-to-nearshore crossover fishing.
Cover Protection for Year-Round Southeast Exposure
Boats that fish the Southeast year-round see intense UV, tropical rain, salt air, and the occasional nor’easter — the cover needs to handle all of it. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is rated for 5-7 years of sustained resistance, with a breathable DWR finish that sheds rain while preventing the trapped moisture that breeds mildew under the cover. Premium Sunbrella acrylic extends protection to 8-10 years — the right choice for a 27 XS that lives on a lift or in a slip. Double-stitched seams resist wind-driven fraying, and every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard delivery. Cape Horn guarantees their hulls for 10 years and the transom for life — your cover should match that standard. For the ultimate Cape Horn offshore experience, the Cape Horn 36 XS T-Top cover delivers quad-outboard protection with the same custom-fitted engineering.
