Canvas & Upholstery Shop

Nautical Specialties, located at 730 E. Washington St in Sandusky, Ohio is a full service canvas and upholstery fabrication shop. We can provide you with everything you need for your vessel. We believe in providing a unique custom canvas design for your vessel. Our team of designers and fabricators will design and construct a high quality canvas to suit your needs. We sit down with you and walk you through every step of the process including the overall canvas design, material selections (Sunbrella, Seamark, Harbortime, etc), and window glass materials (Strataglass, Polycarbonites, or extruded clears). We use only the highest quality Teflon thread which allow us to offer our customers a Lifetime warranty on all of our seam stitching for as long as you own your boat. 

Our fabricators have been trained by the premiere canvas & upholstery training center in the U.S. We’ve gone through a rigorous training regimen that teaches the basic and very advanced canvas fabrication techniques. We only fabric fit which means all of the layout and fitting is done right aboard your vessel. This insures you get the highest quality, best fitting canvas that can be constructed. Why do we continue to go through the expense of all this training? Well, you can’t be the best if you don’t learn from the best.
