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 272 R T-Top Boat Cover — Blue-Water Tournament Armor
The Robalo 272 R is a 27’4″ center console built for tournament-level offshore fishing. With a 23-degree deadrise hull, 9’6″ beam, and twin outboards pushing up to 500 HP, this 7,000-lb platform slices through open-ocean swells while maintaining a dry, stable ride. The 180-gallon fuel capacity provides all-day range to distant structure, and the Kevlar-reinforced Hydro Lift™ hull absorbs the punishment that comes with running hard in blue water. Robalo has been engineering saltwater boats since 1968, and the R272 embodies everything they’ve learned about offshore durability. Protect every component with T-Top boat covers custom-fitted to your exact hull.
Tailored to the 272 R’s Tournament Fishing Layout
Pattern-cut to the R272’s wide 9’6″ beam, this cover fits around the T-Top legs, helm console with large multifunction displays, deluxe leaning post with rod and tackle storage, forward console seating, transom livewells, insulated fish boxes, and rod holders. Reinforced cutouts at each T-Top support leg ensure a clean seal while the hardtop remains exposed. Installation takes one person under five minutes — drape, strap, buckle, and cinch. The cover handles dock, lift, and trailer storage. Moving up in the lineup, see the Robalo 300 T-Top cover for Robalo’s flagship center console.
Protection That Matches Robalo’s Offshore Investment
Select 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years. Both options are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent condensation damage. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points withstand seasons of saltwater exposure. A 2-year manufacturer warranty is included. For Robalo’s mid-size center console cover option, explore the Robalo 226 center console cover.
