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
It's patterned for the 22-foot Key West 225 center console (22'5" x 8'6") with a T-top, the boat some dealers list as the 225 CC Bluewater. Key West also built a 225 walkaround and a 225 dual console with different decks, so tell us which version you have before ordering.
That's how the pattern was filed, but we have not found a factory 225 Bay Reef. The Bay Reef boats near this size are the 216 Bay Reef and the 230 Bay Reef, and each has its own pattern — see our 230 Bay Reef T-Top cover.
Our T-Top style is made for any boat with a hard top — a factory T-top or hardtop, or an aftermarket aluminum T-top. The cover runs up under the top and around its supports, so the roof stays exposed. The T-top was a factory option on the 225, so please make sure your boat has one before ordering this style.
Check the model on your registration or hull plate and measure the overall length and beam: published specs list the Key West 225 at 22'5" long with a 8'6" beam. Key West has built several similar sizes over the years, so send us your model year, length, beam and which top you have (plus a photo if the boat has been modified) before you order, and we'll confirm the T-Top pattern fits.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, 7oz polyester (Black) for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (3 years on 7oz, 5 years on 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 7oz $1,015.00 · 9oz $1,240.00 · Sunbrella $1,500.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Key West 225 Bay Reef T-Top Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Key West 225 With a T-Top
Key West boats are built in Ridgeville, South Carolina, where the U.S. Coast Guard’s builder registry lists Key West Boats Inc. as in business since 1988; Dale Martin, one of the company’s founders, later went on to co-found Sportsman Boats. This page covers the 22-foot Key West 225. Key West’s model lists show the 225 as a center console (225 CC, sold on some boats as the 225 CC Bluewater), with walkaround and dual console versions alongside it; we have not found a factory 225 in the Bay Reef bay boat series, so please confirm your boat before ordering. Published specs for the 225 CC list it at 22’5″ long with an 8’6″ beam, about 2,700 lb, a 100-gallon tank and a 21-degree deep-water hull, rated for 200-250 hp recommended and 250 hp max; listed boats run from 2006 through the 2015 model year. It has a console with a changing room for a portable toilet and a removable transom seat, and a deluxe T-top with radio box, spreader lights and rocket launchers was a factory option. This T-Top cover is patterned for the Key West 225 CC with its T-top, and like all of our Key West boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 22-foot size chart.
How It Fits the 225
The cover runs up to the underside of the T-top and wraps its legs, leaving the roof, lights and any rocket launchers exposed. Below the top it drapes over the console and leaning post, covers the bow and falls to the rubrail along the 8’6″ beam. Aft, it covers the cockpit and the transom seat and encloses the single outboard in one piece. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Bay Reef or Center Console?
Our cover maker lists this pattern simply as the 225. Key West’s 22-foot Bay Reef bay boat was the 216 Bay Reef, which is a different, lower hull; if your boat is a 216, use our 216 Bay Reef T-Top cover instead.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life), a lighter 7oz fabric for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Every option is water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the next sizes up, see our Key West 230 Bay Reef T-Top cover and Key West 2300 T-Top cover.
