Introduction
Having a pontoon boat is indeed a luxury, considering its versatility and ease of maintenance. Suitable as the first boat for people who are new to owning boats, pontoon boats can be used for many purposes. It could be decorated and customized to be luxurious and used for commercial purposes like tours and ferry services. Some pontoon boat owners use their boats for recreational activities, such as fishing and transportation to diving and snorkeling sites.
Having a small get-together with your friends and family on a pontoon boat is also a great way to have a good time.
No matter what the boat is used for, it is essential to maintain and protect the boat, especially the exterior.
If used for tours and transportation, the appearance of a pontoon boat will determine the impression it gives to potential customers. The issue is crucial if the boat is used for commercial purposes. Would passengers choose a ship with deteriorating paint and appearance or one with a good appearance?
To keep your pontoon boat in its best condition, you will need a boat cover to protect it from sunlight and insects at night. But what should you look for in a boat cover? What makes a good boat cover good? We have collected some ideas for you:
1. Protection from Sunlight
Sunlight is known to make those beautiful colors on your boat fade away and even turn into other colors that are undesired if left bare without any cover or protection. Fading colors will give a wrong impression on passengers-to-be since it is correlated with unmaintained boats and, thus, broken engines.
Sunlight could also negatively affect exposed seats and furniture inside the boat. Seats and sofas made from leather will lose their original color and even crack, causing them to degrade sooner. Extended exposure to sunlight to plastic furniture could also deteriorate much faster. And not just the furniture, sunlight could also affect the color and quality of your boat flooring.
The solution against deterioration by sunlight is, of course, using a pontoon boat cover. The ultraviolet protection of Homful Group boat cover's material will protect your boat's exterior paint and interior from sunlight, preventing it from deteriorating and becoming dull.
2. Protection from Birds
Besides sunlight exposure and paint deterioration, another example of boat vandals would be seagulls and other kinds of sea birds. You wouldn't want to come back and see your boat covered in bird feces; everyone knows how awful and difficult it is to clean them. Without a boat cover, your boat will be a resting place for those birds to rest and defecate in the off-season.
But even if you're using a boat cover, the birds will sometimes attack your covered boat and leave rips and tears with their claws. Those rip and tears are a huge problem since they could let rainwater inside the boat, nullifying the whole purpose of a boat cover.
Our pontoon boat cover is double-stitched to produce a boat cover with excellent strength and durability. Our manufacturing team understands that a cover's durability is essential since its whole purpose is to cover and protect. The marine-grade polyester material is also resistant to tearing, being manufactured with a specialized procedure to ensure the finished product is of high quality.
3. Protection from Rainwater and Weather
Rain and general water can wreak havoc on the interior of a boat. If it comes into contact with metal, it may rust, and if it comes into contact with a spongy sofa, it may seep in, creating stains and smells. You will need a cover to protect your boat from rainwater.
In its optimal condition, the waterproof boat cover could minimize the amount of rainwater, snow, dust, and dirt that could get inside the boat, while the pontoon boat is not used in off-season storage. This means every season, rainy, dry, winter, or summer, your boat is safely protected with our boat covers.
4. Protection for Mold and Mildew
In rainy and humid weather, it is common to constantly see mildew on fabrics exposed to rain and sunlight, which could result in mildew growth. Mold and mildew could spread spores that could attach anywhere and even be inhaled by someone if not careful, posing health risks to nearby people.
We don't want boat owners to experience that, which is why Homful Group utilizes PU-coated polyester since the material is also used for its resistance to mildew and molds. You can use this boat cover even in the rainy seasons when the humidity is high.
5. Protection from Insects
Pontoon boats are the best choice for shallow water areas; they can be used to traverse thanks to the floating system safely. In the off-season, pontoon boats are usually stored and tethered on the shallow part of the docks.
In some locations where the docks are surrounded by coastal vegetation, the boat will be accessible to insects. Without any protection to keep insects out, they will seek shelter in unused and unoccupied boats at night. We recommend putting on boat covers even at night to deal with unwanted critters and unpredictable weather.
Customizations
Every boat deserves the best protection it could get. With those factors in mind, Homful Group has suitable products as the solution. Our boat covers come in varying sizes to accommodate as many boat sizes as we can.
But sometimes, a regular boat cover is enough to protect the boat but not make it great to look at.
Rest assured, we currently have twelve variations of color for the pontoon boat cover, with blue and grey as the best-selling choices. If you want to have a custom color with your business' logo and brand on the pontoon boat cover, we can also cater to your need!
A custom logo and color will make your boat more luxurious and exclusive, giving it a unique look instead of a common one. It will be easy for everyone to recognize your boat. You could also put your business's logo on the boat cover, turning it into a free advertisement space while your boat is off-season.
It is also possible to resell Homful Group-made pontoon boat covers in your region, specially manufactured and personalized under your brand. Furthermore, our design team is eager to help you with logos and color customization. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Storage Bag for the Boat Cover
Homful Group's waterproof boat cover and storage bag give your boat the protection it needs everywhere. The boat cover is easy to carry in case the boat needs to be stored elsewhere. We also provide a storage bag to keep the cover and its straps, so you can easily store the cover when you put the boat back to sea.
Conclusion
A pontoon boat is an excellent asset for recreational and commercial purposes. To be functional, the boat's components must be in good condition. Potential passengers will judge a boat based on the first thing they see: the exterior. Even if the interior and the engine is well-maintained, passengers will mistrust a boat that has a deteriorating and unmaintained exterior. This is a significant problem, mainly if the boat is used for commercial purposes.
To maintain the exterior and furniture of the boat while it is unused and stored for the off-season, a boat cover is needed to protect against natural elements like sunlight, rain, snow, dust, sand, and insects. Sunlight could dull your boat's paint, and rain and snow could ruin the boat's interior, not to mention how sand and dust will dirty the entire boat.
Our pontoon boat cover is manufactured from marine-grade 600D polyester. The material is waterproof and has high durability, to be the solution against those natural elements and tearing, to keep protecting your boat. At the same time, it is stored in the off-season.
We hope this article will give you some ideas and insight to help you protect your pontoon boat in the off-season. Thank you for reading, and stay safe!
