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 24 Ultra Elite T-Top cover is available in three fabric options: 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester for maximum durability, 7oz solution-dyed polyester for a lighter-weight option, and premium Sunbrella acrylic for the longest lifespan. All fabrics are solution-dyed, meaning color is infused into every fiber during manufacturing — not applied as a surface coating — so the 24 Ultra Elite cover resists fading even after years of direct sun exposure.
Yes. The 24 Ultra Elite cover is pattern-cut specifically for the T-Top configuration. Reinforced cutouts fit precisely around the T-Top support legs, allowing the cover to wrap the hull below the hardtop while leaving the white fiberglass T-Top roof fully exposed. The cover accounts for the 24 Ultra Elite's center console, leaning post, and bow platform layout.
Installation takes under five minutes and requires no help. Drape the cover over the 24 Ultra Elite's hull, align the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. The process is the same whether your 24 Ultra Elite is on a trailer, dock lift, or in a slip.
Absolutely. The 24 Ultra Elite cover is reinforced for highway trailering with double-stitched seams and heavy-duty tie-down straps that keep the cover secure at road speed. The snug fit prevents flapping and billowing, protecting your 24 Ultra Elite's gel coat, upholstery, and electronics from road debris, dust, and weather during transport.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the 24 Ultra Elite's helm station, electronics displays, flip-back seating, and upholstery. By blocking direct UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and tree sap, the cover dramatically extends the life of every exposed surface on your 24 Ultra Elite.
Every 24 Ultra Elite cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The solution-dyed fabrics themselves are engineered to perform for 5-7 years (9oz polyester) or 8-10 years (Sunbrella acrylic) under normal use conditions.
The 24 Ultra Elite cover is water-resistant with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead up and roll off. It is intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this allows moisture trapped underneath to vent naturally, preventing mildew and mold buildup inside the covered 24 Ultra Elite.
This cover is designed to fit Carolina Skiff 24 Ultra Elite models with the standard factory T-Top configuration. Since Carolina Skiff maintains consistent hull dimensions across production years, the cover fits all standard-production 24 Ultra Elites. If your boat has significant aftermarket modifications, contact us with your specific details.
The 9oz solution-dyed polyester is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The 7oz option is available in Black. Sunbrella acrylic expands the palette to include additional colors like Marine Blue and Smoke. All colors are solution-dyed for long-term UV fade resistance on your 24 Ultra Elite.
Shipping is a flat rate per cover for delivery anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days. The 24 Ultra Elite cover ships folded in a compact package that's easy to store aboard until your next use.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Carolina Skiff 24 Ultra Elite T-Top Boat Cover — All-Composite Shallow-Water Authority
The Carolina Skiff 24 Ultra Elite measures 23’11” with a generous 96″ beam and tips the scales at approximately 3,277 lbs — a serious shallow-water platform that can handle up to 250 HP on the transom. Founded in 1983 in Waycross, Georgia, Carolina Skiff built its reputation on one radical idea: an all-composite, wood-free hull that would never rot, never delaminate, and never let an owner down. The 24 Ultra Elite carries that promise forward with a 78-gallon fuel tank, seating for up to 16 passengers, and a draft of just 8 inches that opens up skinny water most boats this size can’t touch. A custom-fitted center console curtain from Perfect Fit wraps the entire hull below the hardtop, shielding the Ultra Elite’s premium helm station, flip-back seating, and integrated rod storage from UV exposure, salt spray, and seasonal weather.
Tailored to the 24 Ultra Elite’s Premium Tournament Layout
This cover is pattern-cut specifically for the 24 Ultra Elite’s T-Top configuration — accounting for the hardtop support legs, center console, leaning post with integrated cooler, and the oversized bow casting platform that defines the Ultra Elite series. The reinforced cutouts fit precisely around the T-Top frame while the hem cord traces the rubrail for a snug, rattle-free fit. Installation takes under five minutes solo: drape, align, strap, and buckle. The cover is fully rated for highway trailering, and with the 24 Ultra Elite’s 25″ transom and 8″ draft, launch-and-retrieve at any ramp is effortless. Carolina Skiff owners looking for additional coverage for a 23 LS center console will find the same precision fit across every model in the lineup.
Protection That Matches Carolina Skiff’s No-Compromise Build
Carolina Skiff eliminated wood from their hulls decades ago because they refused to compromise on longevity — and your cover should match that standard. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of reliable protection, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of fade-resistant, mildew-resistant performance. Every seam is double-stitched with UV-resistant thread, and the water-repellent finish sheds rain while remaining breathable enough to prevent moisture buildup underneath. Each cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty backed by the same craftsmanship that protects Carolina Skiff models from the compact 16 JVX to the flagship Ultra Elite.
