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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 222 Islander cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester, 7oz solution-dyed polyester, and premium Sunbrella acrylic. All solution-dyed for permanent fade resistance — essential for the flagship Islander that spends long days on the water and extended periods on dock lifts between trips.
Yes. Pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs. The fabric wraps the 222 Islander’s 20° deadrise unitized hull and 8’7” beam below the hardtop while the roof stays exposed.

Pioneer 222 Islander T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Family-Fishing Platform
The Pioneer 222 Islander measures 22’10” overall with an 8’7” beam, 2,900 pounds dry, and a 20-degree deadrise deep-vee hull — the flagship of Pioneer Boats’ Islander series and the largest family-fishing platform in the lineup. Built in Walterboro, South Carolina with one-piece unitized composite construction, the 222 Islander handles up to 300 horsepower with 97 gallons of fuel for serious offshore range. Standard equipment includes an 18-gallon livewell with sea chest, twin insulated forward fishboxes, deluxe lean post with folding bolsters, dual gunwale 6-rod storage with full bolster cushions, 80-quart Engel cooler, removable windshield, swim platforms, and recessed trim tabs — all backed by Pioneer’s 7-year transferable warranty plus lifetime structural hull coverage. Starting at $77,607, the 222 Islander represents Pioneer’s highest expression of family versatility meets offshore capability. A fitted T-Top boat cover keeps this flagship protected between trips.
Flagship Islander Fit for the 222’s Premium Layout
This cover is pattern-cut for the Pioneer 222 Islander’s premium equipment package — bow seating, removable windshield, deluxe lean post with folding bolsters, twin forward fishboxes, 80-quart Engel cooler, and T-Top with overhead rod holders. The 20-degree deadrise creates a deeper hull profile than the smaller Islanders, and the cover accounts for the 222’s taller freeboard and wider 8’7” beam. The fabric wraps the unitized composite hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs. A hem cord and adjustable straps secure the cover for trailering. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The smaller Islander is the Pioneer 180 Islander T-Top boat cover, covering the compact 17’10” family platform.
Flagship Quality, Flagship Protection
The 222 Islander is Pioneer’s crown jewel in the Islander series — the 20-degree deadrise, 97-gallon fuel range, and 300 HP capability deliver offshore performance that approaches the Pelagic series. The cover must match that flagship status. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV and salt resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to protect the 222 Islander’s extensive standard equipment from trapped moisture. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For CC coverage of the Venture variant, the Pioneer 197 Venture center console boat cover covers the versatile dual-console platform.
