We needed new cushions for our camper, which was a difficult custom job. The cushions were very specific and needed to convert from a settee into a bed with foam firm enough to sit on and soft enough to sleep on. Scottie really knows what he is doing! He gave us exactly what we needed at a reasonable price. He advised us on options along along the way,, had a great selection of fabric to choose from, and showed a great combination of craftsmanship and creativity. He was very communicative throughout the process and involved us in the options in this complex project Highly Recommended! read more

Quality craftsmanship and quick turn around. Price was right too. Thank you for taking care of our family.

Update 5/2025: The original stitching on back corners of my original canvas tore a bit after reinstalling the tighter fitting re-zippering and canvas adjustments for shrinkage over time. I called Scotty and he took care of the redo of my original stitching by adding some more canvas material and strengthening the corners with nylon backing. Again, Scotty at Seaworthy Canvas cares about his customers and delivers on his promise with outstanding craftsmanship and precision. read more

Amazing customer service, pricing and perfect job. Scott was very thoughtful and adapted to a special request. Cherry on top, job was done much faster than expected. Look no further than Sea Worthy Canvas read more

Very happy with the job fixing my torn umbrella canvas. It was a difficult task, but they did a top notch job. I rarely leave reviews but felt compelled to do so this time because of the exceptional quality of the repair and the value read more

Scotty did a great job on my canvas boat covers. Perfect fit and done on time. Thanks Scotty!

Scotty at Sea Worthy Canvas is the consummate professional. He went far above and beyond than one could ever image to help me. I was unsure of what I needed and how to go about getting it. Scotty worked with me to make sure that I got what I needed and that I was completely satisfied with the results. If there ever was a company that understands customer service, it's Sea Worthy Canvas. read more

High quality work. Great communication and very reasonable. I would highly recommend using for any repairs or new canvas projects

This is my first negative review on Yelp. Scott Cunningham of Sea Worthy Canvas made a canvas dodger for my sailboat in March 2020. It took twice as long as promised and the dodger was badly made. He has not responded to my repeated requests to correct the deficiencies. I enclose photographs of the dodger. It is unfortunate that I must use this public forum to request either a full refund or that the dodger be fixed or remade. read more

Scotty re-covered all 19 of the cushions on my boat and they came out way better than the originals, really beautiful and very sturdy. Then he made me a sail cover, which is not only beautiful, but could survive a hurricane. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Scotty. He is very personable, does excellent work, and has a lovely daughter, who played with my daughter and showed her how to make little dogs and cats out of modeling clay. (Okay, that didn't affect the quality of the work. It just was such a pleasant experience to do business with Scotty.) read more

Scotty is a real professional who is relentless in his pursuit of perfection. He absolutely nailed my project and I'd gladly work with him again. My boat's aging canvas was in dire need of replacing. Scotty's creativity and eye for detail took a routine canvas replacement job to another level. He was never satisfied with "good enough" and constantly looked for areas for improvement in both use and appearance. Scotty sweats the small stuff and it paid off for us with a final product that is truly custom, tailored perfectly to the boat, and built to last. I was expecting a replacement but received something that I'm really proud of with details like covers for portholes that I didn't even know that I needed and that were included without additional cost. Scotty is without equal and matches incredible skill with genuine care to create very special products. Scotty is also just a great guy who was a pleasure to do business with. The incredible kindness he showed to my entire family and the way that he made them feel part of the process was a welcome surprise and will not soon be forgotten. Boats and boat owners are a difficult bunch. Scotty has what it takes not just to get the job done, but to get it done right. Highly recommend! read more

Sea Worthy Canvas if I could give this place 10 stars I would. Took a binimi top off my Mastercraft that needed a zipper. Scotty was very helpful found what I needed and sewed the new zipper in in 45 minutes. I wish we had more of these kind of shops around. read more

We had 2 serviceable deck chairs which needed new outdoor upholstery. Sea Worthy Canvas is located down the street from us, so I stopped by and talked over this small job with Scott Cunningham. I looked at fabric samples, and he told me he could do it in a week. Scott did a great job, and even delivered the chairs to our door ! Thank You Scott. read more

Scotty was was awesome! I hired Seaworthy to make a new sail cover for my 37' Hunter. I called four different canvas places and got a few quotes, but Scotty was the only one who took the time to come see my project before providing the quote. I could tell that Scotty really cared about what he was doing and had a sense that he would do a really standup job, which he did. I could tell he put a lot of time into making . in quality. The final product turned out great and exceeded my expectations. Thanks! read more

The rib pockets on our 10-year old patio umbrellas were coming apart. I called Sea Worthy in hopes that someone who sewed canvas could repair them. In my first conversation with Scotty, as he inspected the umbrellas, I knew here was a person who knew his business and more than that, took pride in his craft. He pointed out other areas that needed repair that I hadn't even noticed. When I picked up those umbrellas, every pocket had been resewn, every seam had been reinforced, and the vent on one of them was reversed (to hide the mildew) and resewn. Scotty is a delightful person and a true craftsman (reflected in his neat and beautifully organized workroom!). I am truly glad to know him and to wholeheartedly recommend him for any outdoor canvas construction or repair needs. read more

I wanted to enclose our Victorian front porch with something and came across Sea Worthy rather than glass or plexiglass. Scott came over, did all the measurements, made great canvas and vinyl panels. and installed them. We now have an extra room that we can use whatever the weather is outside. The materials were very high quality and the workmanship and service were exceptional. I can highly recommend this company. read more

I needed a panel to extend my sumbrella mainsail cover. They did a great job and did the turnaround in half the proposed time. Overnight. Looks great and they took pains to ensure that the panel is a close match. read more

Seaworthy Canvas do not finish the job ! Gave Scott a deposit on Feb 24, 2021, four months later June the job was 75% done. Scott needed to order the hand rails for the dodger from Svendsons and install them. We paid him for the balance. As of today Oct 14, 2021 the job is not finished. We call and leave messages but not call backs ? What a Scam ! Shame on you Scott ! read more

Sea Worthy is the best for marine/boat canvas or any other canvas needs. I am going back for some outdoor shades!

Scotty did a great job on our sailboat Dodger. This included lowering it a couple of inches and replacing canvas and windows. Very pleased with the results. He does great work, with lots of attention to the details. Appreciated his many suggestions! Met our timeline as well. read more

Scott did an amazing job on my sail cover. He went above and beyond for a great price. Even went down to my boat to measure for himself to make sure it was perfect. Added reinforcement where necessary and custom placed the snaps and leathers for extra life. Extremely pleased with Scott's work at Sea Worthy Canvas. Highly recommend Sea Worthy Canvas! read more

I had bought a center console cover from Mills Canvas for my 2013 Boston Whaler and had forgotten to tell them I had a radio antenna. After I figured out where the hole for the antenna went I had been looking for someone to clean up my slash cut so the cover wouldn't rip. I found SeaWorthy on Google and given it is conveniently located near Outboard Motor Shop (Whaler Dealer) I called them. It was only about 3 days later and it is done and looks great at a fair price. If I ever need anything else done, I will go back to Sea Worthy. It is nice to talk to craftsmen these days that don't treat you like an inconvenience. read more

Scott Cunningham, owner of Seaworthy Canvas, was very helpful in solving our problem. We unfortunately loaned our boat to someone and they burned a hole in one of the cabin cushions ( we learned a lesson). We used Yelp to locate Scott and he was able to located material that matched the rest of the interior. What made this more interesting is that we live in Reno NV and my wife and I have been quarantined sense March. Scott handled the whole thing beautifully and did a great job for us. Thanks Scott. read more

Scott recently refurbished two bow cushions for our boat based in Alameda. Overall experience was great - the quality of the refurbishment of the cushions was high and Scott's personality was great. He also had them done when he said he would. 5 stars! read more

Scotty did more repair work on my main sail cover than I was expecting. And very nice, high-quality work, in my estimation. I was pleasantly surprised. (It's possible that I may have miscommunicated on some of the precision of my request: I wanted the repair work around the winch areas on both sides of the cover to be symmetrical, and they came back not being symmetrical. I think next time I'll write out my request to make sure the error isn't on my side. I got called back one day later than I was expecting, but the extra work that Scotty put into the repairs was well worth it.) read more

The best in the Bay Area, quality work and craftmanship Scott has done great work for me over the years .He knows his craft and delivers

(Repost). I've went from Rags to riches w/ Sea Worthy Canvas! Scotty and crew in their convenient Alameda location will take care of all your marine textile needs. The pleasant and friendly intake process started out very professional, customer oriented and solution based. Sea Worthy responded swiftly via phone / texts with relevant design, structure, cost and lead-time information. I advised Sea Worthy that i was replacing an existing, well-worn mainsail cover. I was pleased when Scott took this information and turned it into a customization opportunity to tailor fit the new sail cover exactly to the boats particular configuration and my preferences. I marked up the existing sail cover armed with a a sharpie pen with the desired length / circumference fabric revisions as well as fastener locations, keep out areas and grommet/cordage locations. I made an appointment to drop off the marked up sail cover to the shop. Upon arrival, sea worthy had a large worktable set up outside (Fashionable 2020 anti-Covid19 protection precautions...) to roll out my existing cover (All 15 feet of it!). "Masked" Scotty greeted me and got right to work going over the existing and proposed changes to the cover. Sea Worthy has been in business for decades in Alameda and it shows; there is absolutely no substitute for relevant experience, design and engineering talent and proactive "use" case discussions as to how, when and where the new cover will be used. Sea Worth advised they only use top quality Sunbrella mat'ls, strong underlayment reinforcements, marine grade threads and robust, corrosion resistant fasteners all around. Scott then provided a written quote; I was pleased to find a very fair priced and expeditious lead time for locally made, custom engineered product - I felt comfortable placing a 50% deposit, left my marked up cover with Sea worthy and drove back over the bridge. Seaworthy went to work, quickly ordering in the materials and they started cutting. Within a couple of days, Sea Worthy called/texted to verify dimensions and other preferences. This was a pleasant experience and conveyed the customer focused attention to detail needed to fabricate a truly custom fitted textile. A day or so later, I was delighted to find a "Work in progress" video show up attached to a text message; totally unexpected and truly appreciated gesture from Sea Worthy. A few more days passed and another video showed up depicting the 90 % completion mark and advising that pick-up was near. With confidence after seeing the video, I schedule a "Wide-Window" appointment that Scott graciously accommodated. Upon arrival for pick-up, Sea Worthy then laid out the new cover on the exterior work table and went over the entire design and fabrication results. They also returned all materials I brought to them for reference. I gladly paid the balance and proceeded back to SF to test fit the product to the boat. I noticed immediately the robustness of the new sail cover - this is a 20-30 year product. I rolled out the cover over the boom and fastened it - the expression "Fits like a glove" immediately came to mind... - it was perfect. I am having Sea Worthy now remake my 35' jib sock as well as other accessory textile items. If you are looking for superior marine fabrics, custom fitted and fabricated to your exacting needs, attentive customer service at a fair price and quick a quick turn-around, look no further then Seaworthy in Alameda! read more

Had Sea Worthy rebuild my vinyl coushions on my 24' Robalo. They came out absolutely amazing. Will be coming here for years to come

I ordered a new sail cover from Scott, gave him my credit card to cover the purchase of material and left thinking the cover would be completed in two weeks. He left me multiple messages on my home phone because he had failed to write down the expiration date of the credit card but when I tried to return the call on six different occasions, I only got his voice mail and it was full. When I finally reached him in person, I told him about the voicemail issue. He then informed my the cover would not be ready as promised because he had lost a week. However, on his message, he had indicated that he had paid for the material with his own card which would indicate to me that the work had not been slowed down. He left me more messages this week, and again when I attempted to call him, I got his voicemail and it was still full. When I finally reached him, he said he was not going to do the sail cover at all. read more

Great service getting my sailboat cover repaired over a holiday weekend in advance of a rainy period! Will definitely use again!

Scott, the owner, is a true professional and takes pride in his work. He came to our boat and gave us an honest estimate. He is enthusiastic and provides fine followups. We plan on having him do our upholstery work. His new address is 2415 Clement in Alameda. read more

I took a section of my boat canvas off to bring home to clean then waterproof when the Strataglass panel began to break while I was cleaning it. (disappointed that it only lasted 5 years) This was on a Saturday, I called Scotty at Sea Worthy on Monday and told him what had happened. He told me he would go to the boat the next morning which was Tuesday then call me with a plan. He called by about 9 am and we agreed on a repair solution and price which I thought was fair. He said he'd be able to get the repairs done ASAP and we agreed to meet the next day at the boat (I live an hour away) so I could approve the repairs and get him payment. When I arrived he was already there at the boat doing some finishing touches and tightening some snaps. Bottom line is he did a good job at a fair price and I was most impressed with his customer service. I will definitely use Sea Worthy in the future. read more

Scott at Sea Worthy Canvas does amazing work. We brought in our old torn and tattered boat cover thinking we were just going to limp by with a few seams resewed. Scott not only reseamed with better marine quality, UV resistant thread, he also fixed all of the tears and restrung the piping (rope) around the perimeter of the cover. Definitely took us from limping along to having a cover we'll be proud of for years to come! read more

We acquired a sailboat with a beautiful wardrobe of canvas protective coverings -- everything from a full cockpit enclosure, sail cover, helm cover and nice trim pieces like a winch cover. All of them had originally been crafted by Sea Worthy Canvas. Now, many years later, the elements and normal wear and tear have caused some of the pieces to degrade. We took the helm cover in for repair and Scotty pretty much rebuilt the thing for us! It'll last many years more. We have some other pieces that need to be repaired or replaced and Sea Worthy Canvas is where we'll take them. They do a great job and it's great to support a local craftsman that appreciates your business. We need to support great businesses like this and I can highly recommend Sea Worthy as a great vendor for high-quality canvas work. Dec 2013 update: We did take those other pieces to Sea Worthy to get them fixed. A cracked plastic windshield and side windows were completely replace and made as good as new. He also fixed some rejuvenated our main sail cover. We have now acquired a second boat, a power boat this time, and it needs some plastic windshields replaced also. We'll take them to Scotty at Sea Worthy where we know they can be fully restored. Ken Nicholson, Skipper Sea Scout Ship 1776 read more
