Custom Enclosures
We design and install custom marine enclosures tailored to your boat's specifications. These durable structures protect against harsh weather while enhancing comfort and aesthetics. Our enclosures are crafted using high-quality materials like Herculite and Sunbrella for long-term performance in marine environments.
Boat Upholstery
Our boat upholstery services combine comfort and resilience using premium fabrics like Crest EZ-DRI cushions. We create custom seating and interior elements that resist moisture, UV damage, and wear. Each piece is engineered for quick drying and lasting durability in coastal conditions.
Canvas Repairs
We offer comprehensive repair services for damaged canvas, including seams, zippers, and structural components. Using GORE TENARA Thread and industry-grade techniques, we restore functionality and appearance to enclosures, covers, and awnings for boats and buildings.
Clear Enclosures
Our clear enclosures use Strataglass vinyl to provide unobstructed visibility while blocking 100% of UV rays. These weather-resistant structures are ideal for boat cockpits and outdoor spaces, offering flexibility and protection against sun, rain, and salt exposure.
Sail Covers
We create custom sail covers and full-boat covers using UV-resistant materials like Sunbrella and Herculite. These covers protect against sun damage, mildew, and abrasion while maintaining a tailored fit for various boat types and sizes.

Report
I had a new console cover commissioned by Brake Marine Canvas, they did great work and it came in under budget and on time. I would use them again.

Report
We had Zach and Chase from Brake create a new enclosure for our sailing cat, constructed with vinyl. The windshield section was done with semi rigid makrolon, and the sides with strataglass. The job they did was absolutely fabulous, all neatly finished and tidy. The also did not hesitate to do some after-install corrections and touch up. The price was not cheap, but these guys do quality work.
