Made in the Shade

Boston Whaler is proud to feature top-of-the-line canvas from Sunbrella® on every model that features canvas. What makes this noteworthy? Sunbrella is an industry leader, providing more benefits and longer-lasting quality than any other canvas manufacturer. Here are some of the primary areas in which your Sunbrella canvas benefits you:

Durability: Sunbrella canvas maintains its beautiful appearance through years of heavy use, because the rich color is an integral part of the fiber. This means a superior level of fade resistance that holds up to sun, rain and saltwater. Plus, it’s breathable, which helps to reduce mildew.

Sun Protection: Enjoy long hours on the water, safely, with protection from the sun. Sunbrella carries Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation when used as part of your daily skin care regimen. Enjoy the sun from the safety of the shade.

Ease of Cleaning: Sunbrella fabrics are low-maintenance and easy to care for. The best way to keep your Sunbrella fabrics looking beautiful is to hose off your boat top every month with clean water to prevent dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent vigorous cleaning. 

Environmental Responsibility: Sunbrella has recycled its industrial waste for over 30 years. All five of the company’s manufacturing facilities are landfill free. What’s more, Sunbrella fabric has achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification. Sunbrella fabrics are certified by GREENGUARD as contributing to healthy indoor air quality by being a very low emitting interior product. Sunbrella also manufactures the Renaissance line of fabrics, which are made with 50% recycled Sunbrella fiber.

And long in the future when your Whaler’s canvas reaches the end of its lifespan, “Recycle My Sunbrella” is a special take-back program that provides an alternative to disposal. Customers and homeowners can send their Sunbrella fabrics back to be recycled. To learn more, visit recyclemysunbrella.com.
