Just the Right Fit

The team at Dockside Canvas Co.® delivers precise fits, dependable performance, and clean results — because no two boats are alike.

For more than 50 years, Dockside Canvas Co.® has proudly served boaters along the shores of Lake St. Clair and the Gulf Coast of Florida. With locations in Harrison Township, Michigan, and Marco Island, Florida, Dockside Canvas Co.® is known for exceptional craftsmanship, long-lasting durability, and customer service that stands the test of time.

Dockside Canvas Co.® specializes in custom boat canvas, marine upholstery, and protective solutions designed to enhance, protect, and extend the life of each vessel. From full enclosures, biminis, mooring covers, and custom upholstery to awnings and boat lift canopies, every project is tailored to the specific boat and the needs of its owner. 

As an industry leader in digital boat patterning technology, Dockside Canvas Co.® uses advanced measuring and design systems to create highly accurate, repeatable patterns. This modern process ensures superior fit, faster turnaround times, and consistent quality, even for complex custom projects. By combining cutting-edge technology with skilled craftsmanship, Dockside Canvas Co.® sets itself apart from traditional canvas shops.

Dockside Canvas Co.® is also a pioneer in rigid canvas enclosure systems, working with both premium acrylic and durable polycarbonate to deliver superior visibility, strength, and all-weather performance. The result is a sleek, custom-fit enclosure that enhances comfort, protection, and style on the water.

The company also designs and fabricates custom boat lift canopies to protect vessels while out of the water, helping shield them from sun damage, debris, and harsh weather. Using premium Patio 500® awning and advanced heat-sealed construction, these canopies require no sewing — eliminating rotten thread, needle holes, and mildew buildup, resulting in a cleaner, longer-lasting, and more weather-tight protective solution built to withstand UV exposure, wind, water, and salt.

With deep roots in both Michigan and Florida, Dockside Canvas Co.® understands the unique demands of freshwater and saltwater boating. After more than five decades in business, the company remains committed to quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and dependable service — helping boat owners protect their investment and enjoy their time on the water with confidence.
