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 Twin Vee 280 CC T-Top cover is available in three fabric options: 9oz solution-dyed polyester for heavy-duty everyday protection, a lighter 7oz option for budget-friendly coverage, and premium Sunbrella acrylic for maximum UV resistance and longevity. All fabrics are solution-dyed, meaning the color is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface — so the cover won't fade, bleed, or transfer dye onto your 280 CC's fiberglass catamaran hull.
Yes. The 280 CC T-Top cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap cleanly around the T-Top legs, allowing the cover to drape over the entire 9'6"-wide twin-hull catamaran platform — console, electronics box, rod holders, coffin box, and full cockpit — while the hardtop remains exposed above. The cutouts are reinforced with double-stitched seams to prevent fraying or tearing.
Installation takes under five minutes and can be done solo. Drape the cover over the 280 CC's catamaran hull, thread the hem cord along the rubrail for a snug baseline fit, and secure everything with the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. No tools required — just unfold, drape, strap, and go.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Twin Vee 280 CC. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the 280 CC's full 228-square-foot deck — shielding your console electronics, GPS, fish finder, Optimus steering system, in-deck fish boxes, livewells, coffin box, stern seating, and all upholstery from UV rays, rain, salt spray, and airborne debris. The breathable fabric vents moisture naturally, preventing mildew in tropical Florida humidity.
Your Twin Vee 280 CC cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
The cover is water-resistant with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that causes rain and spray to bead up and roll off. It's intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, which is critical for preventing mildew on the 280 CC's fiberglass catamaran hull, electronics, and upholstery in the Florida Keys' tropical climate.
Yes. This cover is designed to fit the Twin Vee 280 CC across its standard production run with the factory T-Top configuration. If your 280 CC has significant aftermarket modifications or a non-standard T-Top setup, contact us to confirm fitment before ordering.
The Twin Vee 280 CC cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Twin Vee 280 CC cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Twin Vee 280 CC T-Top Boat Cover — Full-Size Offshore Catamaran Protection, 28 Feet of Twin-Hull Performance
The Twin Vee 280 CC is the full-size offshore power catamaran center console from Twin Vee PowerCats in Fort Pierce, Florida — 28 feet of fiberglass twin-hull construction with a commanding 9’6″ beam, 20 inches of draft, 7,500 lbs dry weight, and up to 600 HP from twin outboards fed by a 170-gallon fuel supply. The 280 CC is where Twin Vee’s catamaran engineering truly shines at scale — the wider beam and longer waterline amplify every catamaran advantage, delivering a ride in offshore chop that makes mono-hull owners envious. Cross-clutching twin engines give you precision docking in tight Key West slips, and the single-engine get-home capability provides peace of mind 30 miles offshore. Pair the 280 CC with boat shade kits and a pattern-cut T-Top cover that protects the entire platform between trips.
Tailored to the 280 CC’s Offshore Catamaran Layout
Twin Vee designed the 280 CC as a serious offshore fishing catamaran — 228 square feet of usable deck space, Seastar Optimus electric-hydraulic steering, macerated in-deck fish boxes with insulation, rod storage under the gunnels with screwless stainless steel holders, four 2,000-GPH bilge pumps, fresh and raw water washdowns, bow bench seating, coffin box lounge, stern fold-down premium seating, and a molded fiberglass hardtop with integrated electronics box. The 9’6″ beam gives the 280 CC a wider, more stable platform than most 28-foot mono-hulls, with a broader coverage footprint for the T-Top cover. This cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap cleanly around the T-Top legs, draping over both hulls while leaving the hardtop exposed above. Installation takes under five minutes solo with the hem cord and adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. For the second-generation, vacuum-infused version of this 28-foot catamaran, check out the Twin Vee 280 GFX2 T-Top cover.
Protection That Matches the 280 CC’s Offshore Toughness
The 280 CC was built to run offshore in conditions that keep lesser boats at the dock — your cover should match that resilience. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection with a 5–7 year lifespan, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade-resistant coverage. Both options are water-repellent with a DWR finish, mildew-resistant, and built with double-stitched seams that handle the Florida Keys’ relentless UV, Gulf Stream salt spray, and year-round tropical humidity. Every cover ships with our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and arrives ready to install.
