Love your boat?  Then you want to give it a good home. This is why many boat owners choose Shoremaster Boat Lift Canopies to protect their boats. Known for the quality and longevity of their products, Shoremaster Boat Lift canopies are made to last for years and years, giving your boat the protection it deserves.

Because of the quality workmanship of a Shoremaster canopy frame, you will most likely need to replace your Shoremaster canopies fabric long before the frame itself begins to deteriorate.

In the Door County peninsula, one of the most popular boat lifts is a ShoreMaster lift.

Not either brand?

Look for the brand name on the frame or winch of the boat lift and call or send the information to us.  Sending a photo helps also. Based on the information you send, we will return a diagram of the frames to you to compare with your actual canopy frame.  We will also show you how to take the precise canopy dimensions we need. It’s as simple as that!
