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.

Robalo 230 R T-Top Boat Cover — Full-Size Fishing Power, Custom-Fitted
The Robalo 230 R is a 23-foot center console that delivers serious offshore range in a single-engine package. With an 8’6″ beam, 4,000 lbs dry weight, 90 gallons of fuel, and a 20-degree deadrise hull pushing up to 250 HP, the R230 runs comfortably to nearshore reefs and back with fuel to spare. Built at Robalo’s Nashville, Georgia facility with Kevlar-reinforced composite construction and the brand’s signature Hydro Lift™ hull, this platform planes in under five seconds and drafts just 19 inches with the engine trimmed up. Our T-Top boat covers shield the R230’s entire cockpit from UV, weather, and salt between fishing days.
Tailored to the 230 R’s Purpose-Built Fishing Cockpit
Pattern-cut to the R230’s specific dimensions and layout, this cover fits around the T-Top support legs, center console with flush-mount electronics, leaning post, integrated rod holders, insulated fish boxes, and livewells. The reinforced cutouts at each T-Top leg create a clean seal while leaving the hardtop exposed above. Solo installation takes under five minutes with the strap-and-buckle system and hem cord along the rubrail. The cover handles highway-speed trailering without issue, so you can tow directly from the marina to storage without removing it. For the compact end of the R Series, check out the Robalo 180 R T-Top cover — the entry point in the lineup.
Protection That Matches Robalo’s Tournament-Grade Build
Every cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of UV and weather protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of durability. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable enough to prevent trapped condensation from damaging electronics or the R230’s upholstery. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points ensure the cover performs season after season. A 2-year manufacturer warranty comes standard.
