Custom Marine Canvas on Kent Island, MD

Bimini tops, enclosures, boat covers, and helm seat upholstery for Kent Narrows, the Chester River, and Eastern Bay. We cross the bridge to you.

Who We Are

Salt & Sail Canvas builds custom marine canvas for the powerboats and sailboats kept on Kent Island, MD. We fabricate bimini tops, T-top and hardtop enclosures, custom boat covers, and helm seat upholstery from your boat's exact measurements, then sew everything in our shop at 612 Third St in Eastport. Kent Narrows runs on center consoles, express cruisers, and sportfishing boats, and that canvas takes a beating from sun and spray out on Eastern Bay and the Chester River. We come to your slip at Mears Point, Piney Narrows, Kentmorr, or wherever your boat lives, take measurements on-site, and build canvas that fits from the first install. We work weekends, because that is when you are on the water.

What We Build for Kent Island Boats

  • Bimini Tops

    Custom bimini tops for center consoles, cruisers, and sportfishing boats. Templated to your frame, built with Sunbrella and marine hardware that holds up to Bay sun.

  • T-Top & Hardtop Enclosures

    Enclosure curtains, spray shields, and connector panels for T-tops and hardtops. Keeps the helm dry running Kent Narrows and crossing Eastern Bay in shoulder season.

  • Custom Boat Covers

    Mooring and travel covers patterned to your boat, with the right tie-downs and support for a boat that sits out between weekends. Sheds water and takes the sun.

  • Helm Seats & Cushions

    Captain's chairs and helm seats reupholstered in marine vinyl, plus cockpit cushions patterned on-site. Built for the wear a Kent Island powerboat sees.

Kent Island Marinas and Waters We Serve

Kent Island is a straight shot across the Bay Bridge from our Eastport shop. We plan around bridge traffic so a canvas project never depends on you hauling the boat over to us.

Why Kent Island Boaters Call Us Instead of Hauling the Boat

Canvas on a Kent Island powerboat works hard. It runs open water on Eastern Bay, sits in full sun between weekends, and takes salt spray through the Narrows. A cover or bimini that was close enough at the store fails fast in that environment. Getting it right means measuring the actual boat and building with materials rated for the Bay, not a general-purpose shop that treats a boat cover like a patio cushion.

When Salt & Sail Canvas builds your canvas:

  • We cross the bridge and template on-site at your slip

  • We build with Sunbrella and UV-resistant thread throughout

  • We spec covers and enclosures for open-water spray and sun

  • We work weekends so we meet the boat when you are on it

  • You deal with the person building your canvas start to finish

No hauling the boat to Annapolis. No off-the-shelf cover on an open-water boat.
