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.

Chaparral 244 Boat Cover – Family Cruiser Protection for Year-Round Peace of Mind
The Chaparral 244 is a twenty-four-foot family cruiser that blurs the line between sport boat and luxury day yacht — deep cockpit seating, a versatile bow lounge, and enough beam to make the ride comfortable even in a light chop. Owners who invest in a 244 tend to use it heavily from spring through fall, which means the boat sits exposed to UV, rain, pollen, and dock grime during the days between outings. Our custom-fitted cover wraps the entire 244 hull in marine-grade breathable fabric, keeping every surface protected and ready for the next weekend.
Patterned for the 244 Platform
The 244 features a wide beam, integrated windshield, and a spacious cockpit layout with deep upholstered seating and a full-width sun pad aft. Our cover pattern matches these dimensions precisely — snug along the gunwales, smooth over the windshield, and reinforced at the bow eye, cleats, and every hardware contact point that creates wear. No sagging, no pooling, no excess material catching wind on the trailer. For shade and privacy accessories, see our console curtain options.
Built to Breathe, Built to Last
Every 244 cover ships in 9oz solution-dyed polyester with a 7-year warranty against UV degradation, mildew, and color fading. The breathable weave lets trapped moisture escape while blocking rain and morning dew — critical for boats stored in humid climates where mildew can develop within days under a non-breathable tarp. Double-stitched seams, adjustable trailering straps, and a free storage bag are included. Check out the Chaparral 26 cover for the next size up in the lineup.
The Value of Consistent Coverage
Gel coat chalking, vinyl cracking, faded carpet, and corroded electronics — these are the costs of leaving a 244 uncovered season after season. A single cover investment prevents thousands in cosmetic and functional damage over the life of the boat. Every cover ships within 1-2 business days, and our team is here to help with installation questions. If you also need coverage for a smaller Chaparral, explore the Chaparral 21 H2O cover.
