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.

Chris Craft 30 Catalina T-Top Boat Cover — Pilothouse Center Console Protection
The Chris Craft Catalina 30 is a 30’6″ pilothouse center console with a 10’2″ beam, approximately 8,700 pounds dry, and twin Mercury Verado outboard options ranging from 250 to 400 HP each — up to 700 HP total. With 198 gallons of fuel, 31 gallons of water, and a deep-V hull with an estimated 21° of transom deadrise, the Catalina 30 represents the next evolution in Chris-Craft’s luxury center console design. Built in Sarasota, Florida by America’s oldest boat builder — founded in 1874 by Christopher Columbus Smith — every Catalina 30 showcases the brand’s signature teak accents and premium upholstery that have defined Chris-Craft for 152 years. Protecting those hand-crafted details demands a purpose-built solution, and our custom-fitted center console curtain and T-Top covers deliver comprehensive protection for this platform.
Precision-Cut for the Catalina 30’s Pilothouse Configuration
This cover is pattern-cut to the Chris Craft 30 Catalina’s exact dimensions, with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs while the hardtop roof remains exposed above. The cover protects every surface — the pilothouse helm station, teak-accented console, premium seating, rod storage, and the full cockpit area — from UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, rain, and debris. One person installs the cover in under five minutes using the strap-and-buckle system, and it’s fully reinforced for highway trailering. With a 37-inch draft, this boat is typically marina-kept, and the cover provides outstanding dock-side protection. For Chris-Craft’s largest and most powerful Catalina, see our Chris Craft 34 Catalina T-Top cover built for the flagship platform.
Fabric Worthy of a Sarasota-Built Classic
Every Chris Craft 30 Catalina cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of outdoor exposure, or premium Sunbrella acrylic rated for 8–10 years. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at every seam. A hem cord secures the cover at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps ensure a tight fit in all conditions. Each cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
