Our Covers

Thank you for choosing what we believe to be the best choice for winter protection for your boat, a Fisher Winter Storage Cover.

We are a small company located in the historic city of Burlington, NJ. Fisher Canvas Products, Inc. was founded by Fred Fisher in 1991. Fred grew up in the business; at the age of 10, he began assisting his father, Harold Fisher. When the senior Mr. Fisher passed away in August of 1988 Fred and his brother continued to operate the business their father started, Harold F. Fisher & Sons. In the spring of 1991 Fred decided it was time to strike out on his own and he formed Fisher Canvas Products, Inc. in July of that year.

The main stay of the business is and has been Winter Boat Covers. These covers where first made by Fred's dad in the early 1960's. Since that time little has changed except the boats. "We still use cotton fabric, why? Because nothing has come along that can out perform it for durability and longevity." Fred's dad knew, and it has only been proven time and time again, that cotton canvas can out last the more costly synthetics over the life of the cover. "We have customers bringing covers in for repair that are 12 to 15 years old." Not that all covers will get that kind of life, but with proper care and a little common sense it is estimated to get 10 seasons of use from a Fisher Boat Cover, if not more
