If you fly a burgee or boat flag, you already know the drill: crisp and vibrant when it’s new, faded and frayed a season or two later. Sun, salt spray, and constant wind are hard on fabric, and a flag that flies unprotected every time you’re docked takes the full hit.
What’s actually damaging your flag
- UV rays break down dye and fabric fibers, fading colors and weakening the material
- Salt spray accelerates fabric breakdown and corrodes stitching over time
- Wind whips the flag against itself and the pole, fraying edges and tearing seams
None of this happens because your flag is poor quality. It happens because most flags fly exposed around the clock, even when the boat’s just sitting at the dock or in storage.
What a burgee cover actually does
A burgee or flag cover is a simple marine-grade sleeve that slips over your flag whenever you’re not underway, so at the dock or in storage. It shields the fabric from UV and wind while you’re not flying it, so the flag only takes wear when it’s actually out and being seen. That alone stretches typical flag life from 2–3 years to 5+ years, cutting the replacement cycle roughly in half.
Covers for every flag on board
Burgee covers fit the small triangular yacht club or membership flags, sized at 16″. Standard flag covers run 18″ up to 48″, covering boat flags, club flags, and courtesy flags of any size. Every cover is handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest from marine-grade fabric, with stainless steel snaps and PTFE lifetime thread that outlasts standard thread against sun and salt. Every cover carries a lifetime guarantee and ships free.
Two ways to get covered
- Individual covers — order yours in your club or boat colors, $39–$89 depending on size.
- Club bulk packages — yacht clubs can outfit a ship store or welcome kits at fleet-rate pricing with custom color matching, starting at 15 units.
