Welcome to Calypso Canvas & Sail
Key Largo’s trusted marine upholstery and canvas shop since 2006. Located at 103530 Overseas Highway, Key Largo, FL 33037, our team blends seasoned craftsmanship with durable marine materials to protect, enhance, and personalize boats, watercraft, and outdoor living spaces across the Florida Keys.
Whether you need a custom boat cover, reupholstered salon cushions, sail repair, or a tailored canvas project, we deliver professional results built to withstand sun, salt, and time.
Why
Professional Marine Canvas & Upholstery Matters
Marine environments are punishing: constant UV exposure, salt spray, moisture, and temperature swings accelerate fabric breakdown, corrosion, and mold growth. Investing in professional canvas and upholstery protects your boat’s interior, prolongs hardware life, and preserves resale value. Properly designed covers and awnings block UV, reduce interior heat, and prevent water intrusion. Quality upholstery restores comfort, supports marine-grade hardware, and resists mildew. Expert repairs extend the life of sails and canvas while maintaining safety and performance for your vessel.

How
Calypso Canvas and Sail can Help
Consultation and assessment
Call (305) 942-6252 or (305)-923-6182 to schedule a free consultation. We begin with a detailed assessment of your boat and usage patterns, discussing priorities like UV protection, water resistance, breathability, and appearance. For repairs, we inspect damage, fabrics, attachment hardware, and structural concerns to recommend the most cost-effective, long-lasting solution.
Custom design and templating
For every new cover or upholstery job, we create templates—either on-vessel or using precise measurements—to ensure perfect fit and streamlined installation. Our templates account for railings, hardware, antennae, and any unique vessel features, ensuring covers and enclosures fit snugly and perform as intended.
Material selection and recommendations
We recommend materials based on the application: heavy-duty, UV-resistant fabrics for exterior covers; breathable, fade-resistant fabrics for interior upholstery; clear, high-clarity Strataglass for enclosures; and closed-cell or marine-grade foam for cushions that resist water absorption. We guide you through color, texture, and hardware choices to align with function and style desires.
Fabrication and installation
Our shop is fully equipped for precise cutting, sewing, and assembly. Skilled technicians use marine-grade thread, reinforced seams, and professional attachments such as stainless snaps, zippers, and elastic hems. We provide on-site installation when needed and off-site fabrication for larger projects. Each project includes a post-installation check and care instructions.
Repairs and maintenance
We provide sail repair, canvas patching, zipper replacement, restitching, and foam replacement. For longer-term care, we offer maintenance plans to inspect, clean, and treat fabric to prevent deterioration.

FAQs
Do you work on all boat makes and models?
Yes. Our templating and custom fabrication processes allow us to work with any make or model—powerboats, center consoles, sailboats, yachts, and tenders.
What materials do you recommend for boat covers in the Keys?
For long-term UV resistance and breathability, Sunbrella and similar acrylic fabrics are ideal. For clear enclosures, high-clarity Strataglass with proper reinforcement is standard. We’ll recommend materials based on whether the cover is for storage, active use, or display.
How long will my upholstery last?
With proper materials and care, marine upholstery can last many years. Sun exposure, maintenance frequency, and how often the boat is used influence longevity. Regular cleaning and protective covers significantly extend life.
Can you repair a torn sail or canvas onboard?
Yes. For many repairs we can perform on-site to minimize downtime. For more extensive sail repairs, we may bring the sail to our shop for full restoration.
What warranty do you offer?
Our warranty varies by project and materials used; we provide clear warranty details in your estimate. Generally, we stand behind our workmanship and materials and will address issues promptly.
