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 full electronics suite, leaning post, multiple livewells, large insulated fish boxes, rigging station, gunwale rod racks, bow and aft seating, and all upholstery. The T-Top hardtop remains exposed for ventilation.
Yes. The cover is custom-patterned for the 2880's transom with engines up to 700 HP total in twin or triple configuration. The aft section provides proper clearance around all engine cowlings while maintaining a secure, wind-resistant seal across the wide 10-foot transom.
The 2880 is the largest boat in Sailfish's legacy lineup at 30 feet 6 inches overall with a 10-foot beam and 10,500 pounds dry weight. With a bridge clearance of 106 inches including the T-Top, it's a substantial offshore fishing platform that requires a cover engineered for its full dimensions.
The 2880 carries 300 gallons of fuel — the largest capacity in the legacy fleet. This enormous fuel load provides extended bluewater range, making the 2880 capable of reaching distant offshore fishing grounds and returning with substantial reserve.
For a 30-foot boat stored outdoors, Sunbrella acrylic is strongly recommended. The large surface area means significantly more UV exposure than smaller boats, and Sunbrella's 8-10 year UV rating provides the longevity needed for a cover spanning a 10-foot beam and 30-foot length.
The 2880 bridges the gap between the current 290 CC (30'6", 600 HP, 225 gal) and 320 CC (31'6", 700 HP, 285 gal). The 2880's 300-gallon fuel capacity actually exceeds both current models, making it an exceptional legacy offshore platform.
A 30-foot boat cover is easiest to install with two people. One person supports the cover while the other threads the hem cord along the rubrails. The T-Top frame provides central support, and once the hem cord is set, one person can cinch the tie-down straps. Allow 15-20 minutes for installation.
Yes. The cover is cut precisely to the 2880's 10-foot beam — the widest in the legacy lineup. The hem cord runs from rubrail to rubrail creating a full-perimeter seal, while the T-Top frame supports the center to prevent the cover from sagging under its own weight across the wide beam.
The cover fully encloses the helm console area including all flush-mount displays, radar arch electronics, VHF radio, and stereo components. The water-repellent fabric and double-stitched seams prevent rain and salt spray from reaching these sensitive and expensive electronics.
Both options carry manufacturer warranties against material defects and UV degradation: 5-7 years for the 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric and 8-10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. The solution-dyed process locks color into every fiber during manufacturing for fade-resistant performance.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Sailfish 2880 T-Top Boat Cover
The Sailfish 2880 is the undisputed flagship of the legacy Sailfish lineup — a 30-foot 6-inch offshore center console with a commanding 10-foot beam, 300 gallons of fuel, and twin or triple outboard power up to 700 HP. Built in Cairo, Georgia with Sailfish’s foam-filled, wood-free hull construction and Kevlar reinforcement in high-stress areas, the 2880 was engineered for serious bluewater fishing where range, stability, and build quality are non-negotiable. This custom-fitted T-Top cover protects the entire hull below the hardtop — from the full electronics suite at the helm to the transom livewells and rigging station — in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic.
At 10,500 pounds dry with a 10-foot beam, the 2880 is a massive amount of boat that demands a cover engineered specifically for its dimensions. The 300-gallon fuel capacity gave tournament anglers the range to run 50-plus miles offshore and back, and those extended trips mean the boat spends significant time on a dock lift or in a slip between outings. Every square foot of that 10-foot beam is exposed to UV radiation, salt spray, rain, and morning dew — from the helm console with multiple flush-mount displays to the transom livewells and the gunwale rod racks. This cover delivers full-perimeter protection with double-stitched seams, a hem cord that locks into the rubrail channel, and the T-Top frame acting as a ridgepole to prevent pooling across the wide beam.
Legacy Flagship, Tournament-Grade Protection
The 2880 represents the pinnacle of Sailfish’s pre-VDS engineering — the most fuel capacity, the widest beam, and the highest horsepower rating in the legacy fleet. With 300 gallons of fuel eclipsing even the current 290 and 320 models, the 2880 remains a remarkably capable offshore platform. Sailfish’s foam-filled hull with Kevlar reinforcement provided the structural integrity and unsinkable safety that owners expected from a boat built to run far offshore in challenging conditions. This cover matches that commitment to quality with reinforced stitching engineered for a 30-foot hull, solution-dyed fabric rated 5-7 years, or Sunbrella acrylic rated 8-10 years of outdoor protection.
