Boat Covers, Runabouts

Runabout Boat Covers

Protect your runabout with a durable Southern Storm boat cover from The Cover Shop, available through Rockboat Marine. Designed for everyday boat storage, these semi-custom covers help protect your boat from New Zealand sun, rain, dirt and general weather exposure.

Southern Storm runabout covers are made from marine-grade 600D solution-dyed polyester with a polyurethane coating for improved UV and water resistance. The fabric is breathable, durable and well suited to marine use.

Choose the Right Cover Size

Please measure your boat before ordering. Boat length alone should not be used to select your cover size.

Read our How to Size Your Boat Cover guide before choosing your size.

Measure your boat as shown in our sizing guide and add 0.3m to the measured length. If your measurement falls between two cover sizes, we recommend choosing the next size up.
