Newport UV Resistant Inflatable Dinghy Boat Cover, Grey, 8-9-Feet

This ran a little small for my particular dinghy (Kachemak), but it is really well made and made of a high quality durable material. I will definitely be sticking with this product for my exchange.

I'm reporting on my cover installed November 2015 and in constant use in the Florida sunshine, which is brutal on fabrics. As of May 2018, the cover is intact, except for a small tear near the bow where the cover is under high tension. The fabric is getting weak in spots, and is near end of useful life. I used some flexible pvc electrical conduit to make a ridge line that runs from bow to stern, so the cover was always sloped to shed water.When hurricane Irma came through in 2017, dumping massive rain, the cover was moved out of position by wind, and 10 gallons plus water ponded in it, actually distorting the cover, which held the water perfectly and did not tear under the weight. The cover has mildew streaks, but has not been cleaned once. The elastic has stayed stretchy.If I had used 303 Aerospace protectant every few months, the cover would probably be at 10% of life, not 100%. But maintenance was prioritized low...All in all, works as advertised. Am buying another as soon as I finish this review.

It fits, but should also come with some kind of pole support kit so raid doesn't settle into a puddle

I have a 12 1/2 foot Bris that is 70 in wide.It's really good quality the tie downs are perfect for what I need them for.Because the cover does not go below the tubes on my boat I would not take it on the road unless I had some more tie downs on it.It covers the 15 horsepower Yamaha with room to spare. If you're inflatable is more than 70 in wide this may not work for you unless you just use it as a cover when it's parked.I really like this cover and very satisfied with it. It was a good purchase.

I've had it on my RIB for 3.75 yrs and its become fragile and starting to tear easily. In the SW Florida sun. It's brutal here in the sun. Almost 4 years inthis sun was worth the price.

Fits great, holding up well.

The picture doesn't show the nice snap on buckles and tie-down straps. They are very good quality. You can adjust them nice and snug. Also, I wanted to put it on my inflatable raft and tie it to the roof of my car. I was worried about the rope on the bow. I thought I would have to cut a hole. Nope, there's a gap for it. The material is kinda thin but it didn't cost much so I wasn't expecting a miracle. I'm very happy with it.

This is the 2nd try with this cover. It fits extremely well on my Caribe dinghy. I wish it would last more that 2 1/2 years in the Florida afternoon sun, though.

Opting for a larger size turned out to be a smart choice! While it's slightly longer, the width provides full coverage on the sides, and the extra length tucks in neatly thanks to the elastic. The quality meets expectations given the price.

Para cubrir un dinghyMuy bueno 👍

It fits but I should have ordered one size bigger so I could put a support in the middle to make water drain off instead of pooling on the top. May try using an old batten I have to create an arch to accommodate my issue. Material is light and easy to work with. As always putting a dinghy cover one is a job for a contortionist, that hasn’t changed. Lol comes with three very long straps to secure it with and yourself to the dinghy as well if you aren’t careful. It’ll do the job I usually get about 5-7 yrs out of a tarp so I’ll see how this one works. Oh doesn’t cover your outboard either if you use one.

Arrived quickly and in tact. Good quality and fits our Tobin Sport boat perfectly.

100mm of rain last night and it’s still raining. Just went to check on my dinghy and cover (it arrived yesterday). Water is still beading on the cover for my CL310 (10’6”). The interior of my dinghy is dry, with a few damp spots here and there.The material is thick enough for the price, yet not as thick as sunbrella. I ordered the 10-11 feet cover and it easily covers the length of the boat, including my 15hp engine.It would be nice if the cover was a little wider though. I understand the cover has clips all around it and is meant to be tightened, but I won’t do that when my dinghy is in the water or on the swim platform. There is a bungee on the bottom of the cover that holds it in place, but the sides are only covered halfway down. Mind you, I have two poles inside my dinghy pushing the cover a little higher to prevent water from pooling. But it would be nice if I could wrap the cover completely over the sides of my dinghy.I may order one size bigger and see if it fits the sides a little better.
