Runaway Bay Marine Covers & Upholstery: Gold Coast Know-how
RB Marine Covers are Gold Coast locals. We know what boats here face—harsh sun, strong salt breezes, and sudden downpours. Our team works only in marine trimming, making covers and upholstery designed for conditions on The Broadwater, Coomera River, and nearby waterways.
Why Choose Custom Marine Covers?
Custom covers are made for Gold Coast boating:
- Protect vinyl and upholstery from cracking and fading
- Guard marine electronics from moisture and salt
- Deter mould, mildew, and grime
- Keep out leaf litter, bird mess, and debris after windy days
Off-the-shelf covers rarely fit well or last in Queensland’s climate. We make covers to match every curve and feature, from tricky decks to custom rails. This means no pooling water and less stress on seams—two key ways covers fail locally.
Marine Upholstery & Trimming: Built to Last
A good marine refit means durability, not just good looks. We use digital patterning and tough marine fabrics that suit Gold Coast boating. Whether you haul crab pots in the Broadwater or cruise outside the Seaway, our gear is up for daily use.
Our services:
- Revive cockpit and cabin seating with marine-grade foam and UV-stable fabrics
- Restore faded sunbeds and seat panels
- Make biminis, canopies, and canvas covers for regular spray and squalls
- High-standard trimming with strong, neat seams
- Replace or install clears for weather protection
- Refresh interiors on runabouts, sports cruisers, and dayboats
You’ll get advice on storage and care—because local tips beat generic internet guides.
Canvas that Lasts on the Gold Coast
Marine canvas here takes a beating. We use only fabrics with real UV, mould, and rot resistance. Gold Coast sun and salt won’t break down our materials after one summer—they’re built to last much longer.
We combine digital patterning with expert hands. Fasteners are lined up neatly, and seams are reinforced. Whether your boat sits at Paradise Point or on a trailer, everything fits and works, ready for local conditions.
Simple Care Tips for Covers & Upholstery
Gold Coast air is salty and humid and can quickly wear down marine fabric. Regular care helps your covers and seats last longer.
Top care tips:
- Use only marine cleaners; household chemicals can damage fabrics
- Rinse covers with fresh water to remove salt and sand before storage
- Dry covers and upholstery well to stop mildew
- Check zips, seams, and snaps regularly to catch any issues early
Look after your gear—whether at Hollywell, Sovereign Islands, or anywhere local. Preventing problems saves future hassles.

Choosing Between Biminis, Canopies, or Clears
Not all boats or owners need the same shelter. We can help you pick between biminis, canopies, and clears, showing how each works for airflow, protection, and storage. Your best choice depends on how and where you use your boat. For example, a bimini may suit calm afternoons on the Coomera River, while full clears help for family trips through the Seaway.
How you store your boat matters too. Even strong fabric needs to be covered when not in use. We’ll chat through your set-up to get it right first go.
