Stop Wrestling a Sun-Baked Boat Cover in Southern California’s Brutal Heat

Touchless Cover® keeps this boat cool and clean, even in SoCal's sweltering heat

Boating in Southern California should be about freedom, not frustration. Whether you’re cruising out of Newport Beach, anchoring at Catalina, or unwinding at Big Bear Lake, the last thing you should be doing is dragging around a cracked, stiff, sun-baked tarp in 95-degree heat with the wind throwing it back in your face. We’ve helped SoCal boaters ditch that nonsense for something that actually works: the Touchless Cover®.

Why SoCal Boaters are Done with Tarps

Let’s be honest. This climate is harsh. We’re not dealing with mild seasons. It’s UV beating down day after day, dry heat cooking your upholstery, coastal salt air corroding hardware, and random gusts turning tarps into flying hazards. Canvas covers don’t stand a chance out here. They dry out, stretch, fade, rip, and eventually turn into a pile of useless fabric and frayed straps.

Meanwhile, your boat starts aging fast. Gelcoat oxidizes, seats crack, vinyl dries out, and every surface ends up sunburned and brittle. We’ve seen it all. People out in Mission Bay and Lake Elsinore wrestling tarps that weigh a ton and still don’t cover properly. Tarps are a temporary fix for a permanent problem.

The Touchless Cover® Difference

This is the end of tarp life. One button, up or down in under two minutes. No strapping, no climbing, no struggling. No more coming back after a windy night to find your boat half-covered and full of dust, leaves, or worse.

The Touchless Cover® is built for Southern California’s conditions. The Top Gun fabric doesn’t fade, crack, or rot. It’s breathable, so heat doesn’t get trapped underneath. It blocks UV, windblown dust, bird droppings, and salt air. It keeps your boat cooler, cleaner, and looking better, every single day.

Built for What SoCal Throws at You

Southern California boating is a different animal. Whether you’re docked in Marina del Rey, parked at Lake Perris, or storing your boat in a San Diego slip, the elements don’t let up. You’ve got constant sun exposure, random Santa Ana winds, salty ocean air, and wildfire ash floating in from who-knows-where.

Tarps don’t handle any of that. They rip, they flap, they cook in the sun, and they don’t keep the dust out. The Touchless Cover® does. And it’s not a theory—it’s been tested all over Southern California, on docks just like yours, by boaters, like you, who were tired of wasting time and money on things that don’t last.

Installed by People Who Know What They’re Doing

With Touchless Cover® you’re not buying something off a shelf and crossing your fingers. Every system is installed by certified pros who know Southern California’s docks, marinas, and quirks. We know how to deal with tight slips, strict HOAs, and unpredictable dock setups.

Most installs don’t require any permanent modifications. We work with your dock, your boat, your space, and make the system fit seamlessly. We’ve installed on everything from pontoons on lakes to wake boats in intercoastal marinas.

Tarps Cost More Than You Think

A canvas tarp looks cheap at first. Until you’ve replaced it... twice. Then bought cleaning supplies. Then paid for repairs on cracked seats and oxidized trim. Then lost half your Saturday wrestling the thing while your friends are already on the water.

Touchless Cover® isn’t cheap, it’s smart. It eliminates all that repeat spending and wasted time. The sealed, low-maintenance motor is designed to handle SoCal heat and salt air. You’re not babysitting it. You’re using it. It does the job, every time.

You know the traditional cover isn’t working. You’re tired of it. You’re over the wasted time, the sun damage, the boat that looks five years older than it should. So do something about it.
