Is shrink wrapping your boat worth it?

Professional boat shrink wrapping is worth it for the superior protection it provides. Unlike canvas covers, shrink wrap creates a drum-tight fit that keeps moisture and pests out while protecting against saltwater corrosion and UV fading. It’s a durable, weatherproof barrier that offers the greatest return on investment for your boat’s longevity.

Will shrink wrap damage my boat?

Shrink wrapping will not damage your boat when done professionally. Shrink Wrap Pros uses a precise process that is safe for marine paint and gelcoat. Padding is added to sharp edges to prevent punctures or tears, and the plastic cover never abrades the surface, ensuring maximum protection without harm.

How long will boat shrink wrap last?

Boat shrink wrap can last anywhere from one season to up to five years depending on the materials used and your needs. Shrink Wrap Pros offers both short-term solutions for winter storage or transport and long-term options for extended protection, always customized to fit your vessel and circumstances.

What Makes Shrink Wrap Ideal for Boat Storage?

Our marine shrink wrap is a thick, hardened film designed specifically for long-term outdoor exposure on boats.

Boat owners have many options for storage and protection, from traditional canvas covers to acrylic-coated polyester fabric held in place with straps or buckles. However, shrink wrapping has become the gold standard for winter boat storage.

Our professionally applied boat shrink wrap solutions are:

Moisture-resistant: The industrial-strength plastic we use for shrink wrapping is waterproof and weatherproof to protect your boat from the elements, including rain and snow.
UV-protected: To reduce fading and other damage from intense sun exposure, our wraps are made with UV inhibitors that keep your boat looking vibrant and remaining in good condition.
Anti-corrosive: Rust and degradation can ruin a boat inside and out, leading to expensive repairs, but we use a material that stands up to corrosion and protects your boat’s function and appearance.
Fire-resistant: Using flame-retardant materials, we create marine asset protection covers that reduce the safety risk and potential damage associated with fires.
Rodent-proof: Pests can nest in unused boats, ruining the inside and leaving you with thousands of dollars in damage. To keep pests out, we use heavy-duty plastic that mice and rats won’t chew through.

Compared to traditional boat covers, shrink wrapping provides a tighter seal and better protection. Once we seal and shrink the wrap using our proprietary methods, it creates a barrier that leaks, rodents, and even UV rays can’t penetrate, preserving your boat in the same condition for months or even years.

Professional-Quality Boat Wrapping in Southern California

At Shrink Wrap Pros, we specialize in boat storage wraps that protect marine vessels inside and out. Whether you’re storing your boat outdoors just for the winter or long-term, we ensure it’s sealed up securely.

Our company originated in Los Angeles, focusing on boat protection and preservation. Today, we serve clients throughout Southern California, providing boat wrapping solutions with extensive experience and knowledge of local climate challenges.

Residential and Commercial Clients

Shrink Wrap Pros serves both individual boat owners and marine businesses.

For individual owners, we deploy our mobile marine shrink wrap services at your home or the marina for your convenience. For boat dealers, transport companies, and other marine businesses, Shrink Wrap Pros can wrap boats for transport on flatbeds on-site so that they’re ready to stand up to the pressures of highway travel without damage.

Need to ship a boat cross-country? Our transportation shrink wrap ensures the vessel is secure for the journey.

In addition to boat storage wraps for individual owners and commercial enterprises, we provide shrink wrap for military applications, including naval vessels. As a company with an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration as a government contractor, Shrink Wrap Pros has provided boat wrapping solutions that meet military specifications for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard, and we’re prepared to comply with all military site and contractor protocols.

Boat Storage Covers Made With the Highest Quality of Materials

Boat shrink wrap isn’t made from the kind of flimsy off-the-shelf plastic wrap used in warehouses and by moving companies. Shrink Wrap Pros uses only the highest quality materials, because only they are strong enough to ensure full protection of your boat. We carefully apply our proprietary sealing methods to constrict the wrap into a tight, protective barrier.

The materials we use are:

Heavy-duty and made of thick, industrial-strength shrink wrap film for a stronger and more durable finished product
Saltwater-resistant to ensure protection during trans-ocean transportation processes
UV-protective to avoid sun damage, no matter what time of year it is
Anti-corrosive to protect from rust and degradation, even in coastal areas where saltwater proximity contributes to rapid erosion
Fire-retardant material for added safety
Laboratory proven to provide exceptional protection for marine vessels of all kinds

We offer different options to meet every boat owner’s or marine business’s unique needs. As part of your free consultation and quote, we will advise you on the various options available to you, including the options that offer the most long-term durability, allow for ventilation to prevent mold using marine vent caps, or provide easy access to the wrapped vessel through zipper doors.

Shrink Wrapping Boats for Maximum Protection Since 2012

Although our company now applies effective shrink wrap solutions to projects of all sizes across various industries, we got our start in professional boat wrapping in 2012. Shrink Wrap Pros began by serving boat owners like you.

Inspired by the prevalent practice of boat wrapping back East, our original founder, Craig Key, began looking for a company in the greater Los Angeles area to apply that technology to protect his RV, only to discover that no company in the area had the skills to meet this need. Craig took it upon himself to fill this gap in the market, focusing initially on shrink wrapping for marine services (and applying the same techniques to RVs or trailers) and eventually expanding the use of this valuable practice.

Shrink Wrap Pros has long-term experience deploying quality protective measures to preserve marine vessels of all kinds.

Is Marine Shrink Wrap Right for You?

If you’re looking for a boat cover option that ensures complete coverage from saltwater, UV rays, harsh environmental conditions, and corrosion, shrink wrap is your best option. Our boat wraps will save you money in the long run by maintaining your vessel in good condition.

Types of Watercraft We Protect

Shrink Wrap Pros provides superior shrink wrap services for marine equipment of all kinds. Our services include:

Boat shrink wrap
Yacht shrink wrap
Jet ski shrink wrap
Large civilian craft shrink wrap
Naval craft shrink wrap

No vessel is too small or too large to shrink wrap using our extra-large rolls of heavy-duty plastic.

When you handle everything from jet ski shrink wrap to protection for multi-deck yachts, the only way to create covers that are equally effective on boats of all shapes and sizes is to use custom methods for each individual vessel. Every cover we create is made especially for that project to ensure an exact fit.

Mobile Service for Your Convenience

Hauling your boat from one location to another just to get a protective boat storage cover applied is more than a hassle. It means putting your boat at unnecessary risk while transporting it uncovered.

At Shrink Wrap Pros, our mobile service makes boat wrapping convenient. We’ll come to you, bringing with us everything necessary for boat wrapping deployment:

Any padding materials required as we prepare your project for wrapping
Our high-quality heavy-duty plastic wrap
All tools needed for our proprietary methods of heat-sealing and shrinking wraps

We can quickly and expertly wrap your boat right in your driveway or at the marina. When the process is complete, your new boat storage wrap cools within minutes to its hard yet flexible barrier. The finished wrap is reminiscent of the surface of a trampoline, but its weatherproof, UV-protective, rodent-resistant material provides unmatched protection against the biggest threats to your boat.

Shrink Wrapping Preserves Your Boat in Pristine Condition Year-Round

Whether you need winter boat covers or solutions for storage or transport any time of year, Shrink Wrap Pros has you covered (literally).

Boat Winterization

Our custom-fitted solutions are ideal for winter storage, maintaining the condition of your vessels even as the seasons change.

Winterizing your boat with shrink wrap provides just as valuable protection in Southern California as it does in colder climates, ensuring that your vessel emerges from off-season storage in just as good condition as when it entered it. Here in Southern California, the sunny climate that boats are exposed to even in the off-season allows for sun damage to interiors if the boat sits unused and unprotected.

All-Season Protection

If your boat will be out in the elements any time of year, it could benefit from taking the right protective measures. The sunlight, which is harsh enough to cause fading and interior damage even in the winter, becomes an even bigger potential problem as summer approaches. In spring and fall, boat owners are likely to run into issues with critters nesting in their stored boats.

Our custom solutions for boats and marine equipment address all of these issues, providing strong UV protection in the summer and keeping rodents out at any time of year.

Why Choose Shrink Wrap Pros for Your Boat Shrink Wrap Needs?

When you’re looking for the best boat shrink wrap services in Southern California, Shrink Wrap Pros is the clear choice.

Superior Protection for Boats During All Seasons

Our boat wraps outperform traditional fabric covers to protect against damage of all kinds, from leaks and corrosion to rodent infestations. We excel at winterizing boats through the installation of weatherproof barriers, but we also provide solutions for off-season storage or transportation in and around Southern California.

Capability to Customize Wraps for All Sizes of Marine Vessels

Your boat wrap will fit your vessel perfectly, no matter its size, because it will be fully customized to your project. We accommodate oversized projects using rolls of heavy-duty plastic wrap in sizes of up to 60 feet wide and 200 feet long. Once applied, we heat-seal the wrap to constrict the covering by 25% bidirectionally, resulting in a tight-fitting protective surface that’s as strong as it is flexible.

Fast, Convenient Solutions Made Possible by Mobile Service

Getting your boat wrapped doesn’t have to be a hassle. Our mobile shrink wrap team comes to you and immediately gets to work preparing your project and rapidly deploying our protective shrink wrap methods. The heat-sealed wrap cools within minutes, ensuring the entire process is quick, easy, and convenient for boat owners and marine businesses.

Additionally, Shrink Wrap Pros is a woman- and Native American-owned company, with Majority Owner and President Ashley Key’s Chickasaw heritage qualifying her as a member of the American Indian Tribes on the West Coast.
