What Are Boat Hatches For?

The right hatch or port can change how your boat feels. It’s more than adding a window. It’s about letting in more sunlight and ventilation. This makes your space more comfortable. If you need a small inspection port or a larger hatch for storage, look no further—we stock it!

We offer a variety of options.

What Is a Hatch Cover on a Boat?

A hatch cover on a boat is a protective lid designed to fit over hatches to shield them from water, UV rays, and other environmental elements. It helps keep your boat dry and prevents damage to the interior. Hatch covers are typically made from materials like marine-grade canvas that is both water-resistant and breathable, which reduces condensation and mould buildup.

Oceansouth’s universal hatch covers, for example, are designed to fit various hatch shapes and sizes, like square, rectangle, trapezoid, and round hatches. They use high-quality polyester ATLAS canvas that is durable and provides UV protection. These covers stay in place even when the hatch is open, thanks to their secure drawstring system.
