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.

Robalo 226 Cayman T-Top Boat Cover — Midsize Bay Boat Defense
The Robalo 226 Cayman is a 22’6″ bay boat that expands inshore capability with more deck space, fuel capacity, and fishability than the entry-level 206. With an 8’6″ beam, 15-degree deadrise, and just 12 inches of draft, the 226 Cayman runs skinny water confidently while its 60-gallon fuel tank and 250 HP max provide the range to run nearshore structure when conditions allow. At 3,400 lbs dry with Robalo’s Kevlar-reinforced Hydro Lift™ hull, this platform combines inshore access with the build quality of a brand that’s been refining saltwater boats since 1968. Browse boat shade kits for additional on-water comfort.
Tailored to the 226 Cayman’s Expanded Bay Boat Cockpit
Pattern-cut to the 226 Cayman’s specific bay boat layout, this cover fits around the T-Top legs, center console, lean bar, rod holders, forward casting platform, aft livewells, and the expanded cockpit that distinguishes the 226 from the smaller 206. Reinforced cutouts at each T-Top support leg maintain a tight seal while the hardtop stays exposed. Solo installation takes under five minutes. Fully trailerable at highway speeds. For the full-size Cayman, see the Robalo 246 Cayman T-Top cover.
Protection Built for Inshore Environments
Select 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance, or Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable — critical in the humid marsh and coastal environments where bay boats spend their days. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points ensure lasting durability. A 2-year manufacturer warranty is included. For a similar-size R Series alternative, see the Robalo 230 R T-Top cover.
