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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 231 Coastal is designed as a true dual-purpose platform. With 10-person seating, 79-gallon fuel capacity, and a 25" enclosed head compartment, families enjoy all-day comfort and convenience. Anglers benefit from dual livewells (20-gallon in-console, 27-gallon aft), two insulated fish boxes, and rocket launchers for rod storage.
The oversized 20-gallon in-console livewell allows you to hold premium tournament catches longer without crowding. Combined with the 27-gallon aft well, you have 47 gallons of aerated storage—enough to segregate multiple species, manage larger catches, and maintain competitive weigh-in integrity through a full tournament day.
Absolutely. The 14" draft (slightly deeper than hybrid models) is acceptable for nearshore reef work, and the massive 79-gallon tank extends range significantly. With 200–300 HP engine options, the 231 Coastal can cruise 40+ nautical miles to structure, fish, and return on a single fill-up.
Rocket launchers mount to the hardtop or console rails and hold rods in a horizontal position at the side of the console. This configuration keeps rigs accessible but out of the casting deck, ideal for trolling setups or backing rod storage when the deck is crowded during tournaments.
The boat accommodates 10 persons total. The forward casting deck is reserved for anglers, three-across aft jump seats host crew or family, and center console seating provides captain and co-angler positions. The aft livewell and fish box placement keep tackle and catches organized for tournament logistics.
The enclosed head is a luxury feature that matters on all-day fishing trips and family cruising. It eliminates the need to return to the dock for restroom breaks, extending your fishing window and improving family comfort on extended cruises to distant fishing grounds.
NauticStar's STAR Performance System (planing pods and air-assist chines) distributes loads efficiently, preventing bow rise and maintaining flat running attitude even when fully fueled (additional 500 lbs). The 102" beam and 22'9" length create a stable platform that cruises efficiently at all throttle positions.
Yes. The custom-fitted cover rises over the 25" console and slopes gradually to the stern, accommodating the boat's full profile. Solution-dyed marine fabric with reinforced stitching prevents billowing, and the hem cord secures at the rubrail for a taut, professional appearance.
Yes. Solution-dyed marine fabric is breathable and water-repellent, allowing air circulation underneath while water beads off. Check for standing water periodically and reposition the cover seasonally. Sunbrella acrylic offers enhanced mildew resistance if stored in humid climates.
The 231 Coastal's 10-person capacity, robust dual livewell system, multiple fish boxes, enclosed head, and fuel range make it perfect for commercial fishing guide operations. The cover protects your investment from constant sun exposure and saltwater conditions inherent to guide service use.

NauticStar 231 Coastal Center Console Cover — Coastal Fishing Meets Family Comfort
The NauticStar 231 Coastal is where serious fishing meets full-family cruising. At 22’9″ with a 102″ beam and seating for 10, this center console delivers the range, fuel capacity, and comfort features that multi-day coastal expeditions demand. Built in Amory, Mississippi, with 100% wood-free composite construction and NauticStar’s legendary STAR Performance System, the 231 Coastal pairs aggressive air-assist chines and planing pods for explosive acceleration with 200–300 HP engine options. The 14″ draft handles nearshore structure while the 79-gallon fuel tank stretches range across open Gulf water. An enclosed head compartment eliminates the need to return to the dock, and rocket launchers plus two insulated fish boxes transform the console into a tournament command center.
Anglers and families alike appreciate the 231 Coastal’s dual-purpose design. The dual aerated livewells—20 gallons in-console and 27 gallons aft—keep tournament catches fresh across full fishing days. Two insulated fish boxes preserve ice and prime filets, while the rocket launchers and gunnel rod holders organize tournament gear efficiently. Ten-person seating accommodates an angling crew with space for family members to join weekend trips. The 79-gallon fuel capacity and 25″ transom height support larger outboards and extended range, making the 231 Coastal ideal for charter operations, guide services, and serious weekend warrior anglers who demand comfort alongside performance.
Protecting a multi-purpose boat like the 231 Coastal means shielding both fishing equipment and family comfort features. This custom center console cover drapes from the bow, climbs over the console, and slopes to the stern with continuous, even fabric flow. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) blocks UV rays that fade gelcoat and hardware, prevents saltwater corrosion on the head compartment and plumbing fixtures, and resists mildew during seasonal storage. Double-stitched seams withstand coastal wind and weather, the rubrail hem cord anchors the cover at the waterline, and adjustable tie-down straps secure your boat through extended mooring, storage, or transport.
Why Coastal Families Choose the 231 Coastal Cover
NauticStar’s Limited Lifetime Hull Warranty and 5-year NauticGuard protection reflect the brand’s commitment to durability in harsh coastal environments. A quality cover extends that protection by maintaining your boat’s appearance and structural integrity through off-season storage, winter weather, and intense UV exposure inherent to year-round coastal operations. Whether you’re running charter trips weekly or cruising with family monthly, the 231 Coastal’s investment deserves professional-grade protection.
