Robie Canvas Exclusive: The Stash Pocket™
Keep your essentials secure and accessible with our innovative Stash Pocket—a custom feature you won't find anywhere else. This 12"x8" zippered compartment is sewn directly into your bimini top with a reinforced protective layer that shields both your valuables and the bimini fabric.
Perfect for storing:
Boat registration and documentation
Cash and cards
Sunglasses
Keys
Small electronics
The hidden zipper design keeps the pocket discreet and weather-resistant, while the reinforced construction ensures your bimini stays protected. It's the kind of smart detail that makes life on the water easier—because we build biminis the way boaters actually use them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a custom bimini top?
We're currently booking for the 2026 season. Once we pattern your boat (typically before winter storage), fabrication occurs during the off-season, with installation in spring.
Do you come to my boat or do I bring it to you?
Both options work! We travel up to 30 miles one way for on-site patterning within our service area. You can also bring your boat to our shop in Bellingham, MA to avoid travel charges. Additional travel charges may apply for time and fuel beyond our standard service area.
What colors are available?
We offer a full range of Sunbrella marine canvas colors. We'll show you samples during consultation to help you choose the perfect match for your boat.
Can you add enclosures to my bimini top?
Absolutely! We specialize in custom bimini enclosures with clear Strataglass windows. Enclosure pricing ranges from $2,400-$4,500 depending on configuration.
What size boats do you work on?
We work on powerboats and occasionally sailboats ranging from 10 to 50 feet in length.
What if I need repairs on an existing bimini?
We can assess repair needs and provide honest recommendations. Sometimes repairs make sense; other times a new custom bimini is the better investment.
