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.

Pursuit 288 S T-Top Boat Cover — S-Class Sport Center Console Luxury
The Pursuit 288 S delivers 30 feet of premium S-Class sport center console performance built in Fort Pierce, Florida by the brand that has earned the Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Award every year since 2001. Powered by twin Yamaha F300 V6 outboards producing 600 HP maximum, the 288 S carries 8,220 pounds of hand-laminated fiberglass on a 24-degree deadrise hull with 230 gallons of fuel capacity and integrated transom platform extensions, delivering world-class offshore capability. The dual Garmin electronics displays, recirculating livewell, and luxury fishing layouts define the S-Class standard for serious anglers who demand premium craftsmanship and serious offshore power. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover protects this luxury investment from UV damage, rain, and corrosive salt air. Explore custom boat covers for every hull size and style at our full boat cover collection.
Precision Pattern for the 288 S’s Sport Console Design
This cover wraps precisely around the 288 S’s T-Top legs and sport center console layout, accounting for the 9’8” beam and the model’s integrated hardtop frame, dual Garmin display stations, rod holders, transom platform extensions, recirculating livewell with integrated pump, and cockpit luxury seating. The reinforced pattern follows the exact hull profile with cutouts around each T-Top leg while leaving the white fiberglass hardtop fully exposed. Installation takes under five minutes solo with the strap-and-buckle system, and the reinforced hem cord seats firmly at the rubrail. The cover trailers securely at highway speeds without shifting. For the next size up in offshore capability, see the Pursuit 2870 WA T-Top cover.
S-Class Protection for Twin V6 Performance
Every 288 S hull leaves the Fort Pierce factory with hand-laminated construction, vacuum-infused resin, Yamaha-exclusive F300 V6 optimization, and precision craftsmanship engineered for decades of luxury offshore fishing, and our covers protect that investment against the elements. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of superior durability and color retention. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent moisture buildup beneath the cover. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points at every contact area deliver the durability this premium S-Class platform deserves. Every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard shipping. For compact center console protection, explore the Pursuit 238 C T-Top cover.
