On every enclosure
Since 1992 • Impact Modified Acrylic
Custom-measured for every
hull.
No two boats are treated the same. We pattern on your vessel, whatever you run.
Sportfish
Cockpit, flybridge, and tower enclosures. Documented Viking 56 and Viking 64 builds running over a decade.
Motor Yacht & Flybridge
Four-sided flybridge and aft-deck enclosures. See our documented 72' Princess flybridge build.
Center Console
Helm enclosures that wrap the console, T-top, and electronics for dry, comfortable offshore runs.
Sailboat & Catamaran
Cockpit dodgers, bimini extensions, and full cockpit enclosures. Lightweight and easy to manage under sail.
The honest comparison
Why rigid acrylic wins in
Florida.
Polycarbonate is tough and soft vinyl is affordable. But over a ten-year horizon in South Florida sun, the spec sheet tells the story, material by material.
Polycarbonate and Strataglass figures are published by their manufacturers. EZ2CY® impact modified acrylic UV, clarity, and yellowing figures per ASTM D1003 and D1925.
Two systems, one shop
We build both. We help you pick the right one.
The right enclosure depends on your boat, how you use it, and your budget. Here is how the two systems compare.

Hard Acrylic Enclosures
The right enclosure depends on your boat, how you use it, and your budget. Here is how the two systems compare.
-
Blocks 98% of UV and transmits 91% of light
-
Lasts 10 to 11 years, with installs documented past 18
-
Won't shatter on impact, the safer choice offshore
-
The only system that accepts built-in EZ Vent ventilation
Best for sportfish, flybridge motoryachts, and year-round Florida boaters.
Flexible & affordable
Soft Isinglass Enclosures
Optical-grade 30 or 40-gauge clear marine vinyl set in aluminum tracks with YKK marine zippers and Stamoid binding.
-
Rolls up for open-air running
-
Lower upfront cost, easy panel replacement
-
Blocks roughly 71% of UV, lasts 5 to 10 years
Best for center consoles, pontoons, and sailing cockpits.
Exclusive to EZ2CY®
The only hard enclosure that breathes.
The old knock on hard enclosures in Florida heat was trapped warmth. We solved it. EZ Vent is built-in ventilation that moves fresh air behind the panels without wind intrusion or noise, and closes off for a fully sealed enclosure when the weather turns.
It integrates into the acrylic framing itself, which is structurally impossible on soft vinyl. That is what makes our hard enclosures the only system that delivers maximum UV protection and real thermal comfort year round.
01 Soft Isinglass Enclosures
Passive circulation behind the panels. No forced air required.
02 Seals up on demand
Closeable in bad weather for a fully enclosed, dry helm.
03 Acrylic only
Engineered into the rigid panel framing. It cannot be fitted to vinyl.
Three decades of installs
Real boats. Documented specs.
We build in-house and measure on your vessel. Here is one of our signature flybridge builds, spec for spec.
Signature build
72' Princess Flybridge
Viking 64 Sportfish
Hard cockpit and flybridge enclosure with EZ Vent panels for heat management through the warm months.
Viking 56 Sportfish
Precision multi-panel hard enclosure, still crystal clear after years of continuous Florida service.
Combination systems
On complex layouts we build hybrids, rigid acrylic forward and soft isinglass aft, for full coverage with cockpit flexibility.
What goes into every enclosure
Care & cleaning
Built to last. Easy to keep clear.
A good enclosure is an investment. The single biggest factor in how long it lasts is what you clean it with. We make a dedicated care line for both acrylic and isinglass.
⚠ Do not use
Never use Windex, Rain-X, acetone, or alcohol-based cleaners on any enclosure. They cause permanent crazing, clouding, and yellowing.
