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 270 Pelagic cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester, 7oz solution-dyed polyester, and premium Sunbrella acrylic. All solution-dyed for permanent fade resistance in the extreme offshore conditions the Pelagic flagship encounters.
Yes. Pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts around the hardtop support legs. The fabric wraps the 270 Pelagic’s unitized hull and 9’2” beam below the powder-coated hardtop while the roof stays exposed. The pattern accounts for the expanded 209-gallon fuel system that differentiates the 270 from the 266.
Under 5 minutes solo even at 26’6”. Drape from bow to stern, secure with hem cord and adjustable straps. The 9’2” beam provides a stable working surface for one person.
Each Pelagic gets its own custom pattern. The 270’s expanded 209-gallon fuel system (vs 171 gallons on the 266) changes the hull-top profile. Using the wrong cover will result in a poor fit.
Complete barrier over the 52-gallon lighted livewell, twin in-floor fishboxes, lean post tackle station, 75-quart Engel cooler, helm electronics, and all upholstery. Engine lower units remain below the fabric.
Yes. Designed for long-term dock lift storage. Breathable fabric prevents mildew, DWR finish sheds rain, and solution-dyed color resists UV fading season after season.
2-year manufacturer warranty on the cover. Fabrics rated 5-10 years — complementing Pioneer’s 7-year transferable warranty plus 10-year structural hull coverage.

Pioneer 270 Pelagic T-Top Boat Cover — Extended-Range Offshore Flagship
The Pioneer 270 Pelagic measures 26’6” overall with a 9’2” beam, 5,000 pounds dry, and a 22-degree deadrise hull — the updated flagship of Pioneer Boats’ Pelagic offshore series with an expanded 209-gallon fuel system that extends bluewater range beyond the 266 Pelagic’s 171-gallon capacity. Built in Walterboro, South Carolina with one-piece unitized composite construction, the 270 Pelagic handles up to 500 combined horsepower on twin outboards. Standard equipment mirrors the 266’s tournament-grade package — 52-gallon lighted livewell with sea chest, twin insulated in-floor macerated fishboxes, deluxe lean post with tackle station, powder-coated hardtop with acrylic windshield, walk-in console — but with 38 additional gallons of fuel that translate to roughly 30+ more miles of offshore range. Pioneer backs the 270 Pelagic with a 7-year transferable warranty plus 10-year structural hull warranty. Pair this T-Top cover with boat shade kits for complete dock-side protection.
Fitted for the 270 Pelagic’s Extended-Range Layout
This cover is pattern-cut for the 270 Pelagic’s offshore layout — twin-engine transom, 52-gallon lighted livewell, twin in-floor fishboxes, lean post tackle station, powder-coated hardtop, and the expanded fuel system that distinguishes it from the 266. The fabric wraps the unitized composite hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the hardtop legs. A hem cord and adjustable straps secure the cover for dock lift storage. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The companion Pelagic is the Pioneer 266 Pelagic T-Top boat cover, covering the 266 with its 171-gallon fuel system.
Extended Range, Extended Protection
The 209-gallon fuel system on the 270 Pelagic means this Pioneer goes further offshore than any other model in the lineup — the cover must handle the most extreme salt, UV, and weather exposure in the fleet. 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 — critical for the Pelagic’s tournament electronics and 52-gallon livewell during extended dock storage. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For Pioneer’s CC coverage, the Pioneer 202 Islander center console boat cover offers full-enclosure protection for the mid-size family platform.
