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
Yes — this cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Key West 216 Bay Reef center console hull. It fits the approximately 22-foot length, wrapping over the center console and fully enclosing the outboard engine as one continuous piece.
No — Key West produced the 216 Bay Reef from approximately 2000 through 2010. It has been succeeded by newer models in the Bay Reef lineup, but our cover continues to protect every 216 model year.
The 216 Bay Reef typically runs a single outboard up to approximately 225 horsepower. Our cover fully encloses the engine as part of the continuous fabric drape past the transom, regardless of the outboard model mounted.
The 216's modified-V hull with approximately 20 degrees of deadrise creates a slightly deeper hull entry than smaller Bay Reef models. Our cover is pattern-cut for this specific hull shape, with the bottom edge extending well below the chine for full protection.
We offer two marine-grade fabrics: our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester (the most popular choice for durability and colorfastness) and premium Sunbrella acrylic canvas (lighter weight with exceptional UV resistance and breathability). Both resist mold, mildew, and fading.
Installation takes about 20 minutes with one person. Drape the cover from bow to stern over the center console, then secure using the included elastic hem cord and adjustable tie-down straps that buckle underneath the hull.
No — the 216 and 210 Bay Reef have different hull dimensions. Each cover is pattern-cut to the specific model's length and beam. Using the wrong cover will result in a poor fit that could allow water pooling or wind damage.
A center console mooring cover is a one-piece fitted cover that protects your entire boat while in storage. It shields the console, seating, deck hardware, and electronics from UV damage, rain, bird droppings, pollen, and debris — extending the life of your upholstery, gel coat, and onboard equipment.
Our 9oz solution-dyed polyester is the most popular choice — it is heavier, extremely durable, and offers excellent water resistance at a lower price point. Sunbrella acrylic is lighter, more breathable, and provides superior UV protection, making it ideal for boats stored in intense sun year-round. Both fabrics come with manufacturer warranties.
Select your boat model, cover type, and fabric choice on the product page, then add to cart. Every cover ships with the fitted cover, all necessary tie-down straps and buckles, a storage bag, and a detailed installation guide. Most orders ship within 5 to 7 business days.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Key West 216 Bay Reef Center Console Boat Cover (Discontinued Model)
The Key West 216 Bay Reef is a 22-foot inshore bay boat with an 8-foot to 8-foot-5-inch beam and a dry weight around 2,100 pounds. Powered by a single outboard up to approximately 225 horsepower with 41 to 50 gallons of fuel, this modified-V hull features roughly 20 degrees of deadrise and Key West’s fiberglass stringer construction. Produced from approximately 2000 through 2010, the 216 Bay Reef was one of Key West’s mid-size bay boat offerings that bridged the gap between their smaller inshore models and the larger offshore-capable platforms.
Our custom-fitted mooring cover protects the entire 216 Bay Reef as one continuous piece of marine-grade fabric. The cover rises smoothly over the center console, slopes toward the stern, and extends past the transom to fully enclose the outboard engine with a natural, slightly loose drape. A hem cord cinches along the rubrail, and the bottom edge reaches nearly to the keel — leaving only a thin strip of V-bottom hull visible. The cover is pattern-cut to the 216’s hull profile and beam for a water-shedding, wind-resistant fit.
Classic Bay Boat — Modern Protection
Although the 216 Bay Reef has been out of production for over a decade, our cover gives it the same level of protection as any current model. Choose our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester — the most popular fabric for its toughness and colorfastness — or premium Sunbrella acrylic canvas for superior UV protection and breathability. Both fabrics are solution-dyed through the entire fiber, ensuring the color stays locked in for years regardless of sun exposure.
Reliable Fit for Long-Term Storage
Installation takes about 20 minutes with one person. The cover includes all tie-down straps, buckles, and hardware for securing underneath the hull. Whether your 216 lives on a trailer in the driveway, on a boat lift at the marina, or in dry stack storage, the cover stays tight through all conditions.
