Made to fit

Measured on your boat, not out of a catalog

Every bow, frame and curve is a little different. We work from your boat so the finished canvas pulls tight, zips clean and snaps where it should.

Cut & sew

“We had our rain enclosures replaced on our 2009 Grady-White Journey and had a cushion replaced. A&J did an amazing job and beat the britches off other shops on price. The next time I need something done, they'll be my first and probably only call. Lee was amazing to talk to and work with. Thank you, A&J!”

“Our boat bimini was falling apart at the seams after years of sun exposure. I phoned A & J late one afternoon, took the bimini to them the next morning, and all seams were re-sewn in less than an hour by a highly skilled seamstress. The quality of the work is top notch. Everybody working there was cheerful, accommodating, and accomplished. A & J is surely the world's best canvas shop!”

“Absolutely the most professional people you will deal with. They recovered our boat cushions and tailored boat covers for us. Job was done expeditiously and expertly. They were easy to work with and remarkably reliable. Louise and David are the best. I have nothing but praise for their work.”

1Shop. Same family, same road.

A family shop

Grady-White country.

Grady-White builds its boats half an hour from our shop, and its owners have passed our name around for more than a decade. We know the frames, the snap layouts and the curtains. Boats come to us from New Bern, Swansboro, Jacksonville and the Crystal Coast. If you have a Grady, bring it by.
