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 cover wraps the entire hull below the T-Top hardtop, protecting the center console with helm electronics, leaning post, livewell, insulated fish box, rod holders, bow seating, and all upholstery surfaces. The fiberglass T-Top hardtop stays exposed for airflow.
Yes. This cover is custom-patterned to the 220 CC's specific VDS (Variable Degree Stepped) hull profile, 8'6" beam, and T-Top frame. The stepped hull has a unique running surface shape, and the cover is cut to match its specific dimensions at the rubrail line.
VDS stands for Variable Degree Stepped hull — Sailfish's signature three-zone hull design. The 220's hull uses a deep 24-degree entry that transitions through a 23-degree mid-section to a 22-degree outer step. This creates three running surfaces that improve ride quality, stability, and fuel efficiency.
The 220 is the current-generation successor to the 218. Both are 21-foot center consoles, but the 220 features Sailfish's VDS stepped hull technology, updated deck layout, and modern rigging. The 220 weighs more at 4,450 lbs due to the heavier VDS hull construction versus the 218's 2,500 lbs.
For boats stored on dock lifts or in open slips year-round, Sunbrella acrylic with its 8-10 year UV rating is the premium choice. For seasonal or trailer storage, the 9oz solution-dyed fabric at 5-7 years offers excellent performance. Both are breathable to prevent mold and mildew.
The Sailfish 220 CC carries 93 gallons of fuel. Combined with the VDS hull's efficiency advantages, this gives the 220 impressive range for a 21-foot boat — enough for full-day fishing trips to nearshore reefs and wrecks with comfortable fuel reserve.
Three systems work together: a hem cord threads through the rubrail channel for the primary perimeter seal, adjustable tie-down straps cinch under the hull for wind resistance, and the T-Top frame supports the cover's midsection to create a peaked profile that sheds rainwater.
No, but they share the same VDS hull DNA. The 232 CC won Boating Magazine's 2024 Best Boat of the Year in the Small Fishing category. The 220 is a slightly smaller sibling at 21 feet versus 23 feet, but both use Sailfish's signature stepped hull technology.
Yes. At 21 feet with an 8'6" beam, the 220 is compact enough for one person to cover easily. The T-Top frame supports the center section while you work around the perimeter securing the hem cord and straps. Most owners complete installation in 5-7 minutes.
Both options carry manufacturer warranties: 5-7 years for the 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric and 8-10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. The solution-dyed process means color is part of the fiber itself — not a surface coating that fades prematurely in direct sun.
Sailfish 220 CC T-Top Boat Cover
The Sailfish 220 CC is a current-generation center console built on Sailfish’s signature Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull — the three-zone stepped design that transitions from a deep 24-degree entry through a 23-degree mid-section to a 22-degree outer step for exceptional ride quality, stability, and fuel efficiency. At 21 feet 3 inches with an 8’6” beam and powered by a single outboard up to 200 HP, the 220 CC delivers the kind of refined fishing performance that earned its sibling, the 232 CC, Boating Magazine’s 2024 Best Boat of the Year. This custom-fitted T-Top cover wraps the entire hull below the hardtop in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic, protecting the console, electronics, and all interior surfaces.
The 220 CC carries 93 gallons of fuel — enough range for full-day nearshore and offshore trips — in a hull that weighs approximately 4,450 pounds dry. The VDS technology gives the 220 a significantly different running surface than traditional single-deadrise hulls, and this cover is custom-patterned to match the stepped hull’s specific profile at the rubrail line. Double-stitched seams, a hem cord that locks into the rubrail channel, and adjustable tie-down straps create a wind-proof, water-tight fit that protects the helm console, leaning post, livewell, insulated fish box, and all seating surfaces from UV radiation, rain, and salt spray.
VDS Hull Technology & Smart Cover Design
The 220 CC represents everything Sailfish has learned since 1986 distilled into a 21-foot fishing platform. The VDS hull’s three running surfaces reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency while maintaining the rough-water capability that defines the brand. Built in Cairo, Georgia with SailTech wood-free construction and Kevlar reinforcement, the 220 is engineered to handle the conditions where boats of this size typically struggle. This cover preserves that engineering with solution-dyed fabric rated for 5-7 years or Sunbrella acrylic rated for 8-10 years — keeping the boat’s surfaces in like-new condition between trips.
