About Us - The Story Behind Coastal Marine Canvas
Built by Craftsmen. Driven by the Sea.
Built by Craftsmen. Driven by the Sea.
Coastal Marine Canvas started as a small workshop with one sewing machine, one stubborn sailboat owner, and an obsession for a perfect fit. Today we’re still that same crew of makers — only with better tools, deeper fabric knowledge, and a slightly larger supply of coffee. We build marine canvas that looks good, performs better, and lasts longer than anything you’ll find off the rack.
Our Mission
To design and craft marine canvas that protects your boat and honors the time you spend on the water. We believe every cover, enclosure, and cushion should be thoughtfully made, beautifully finished, and purpose-built for life afloat.
Marc Desjardins — Founder & Lead Fabricator
Marc learned to sew on his grandfather’s canvas awnings and never stopped. He’s the patternmaker, problem-solver, and the one who insists on double-stitching stress points.
Noel Desjardins — Head of Design
Noel pairs practical engineering with clean, classic lines. She coordinates fabrics, colorways, and the small design touches that make a cover feel bespoke.
Meet the Makers
“Coastal Marine Canvas completely transformed my boating experience. The team took the time to understand exactly what I needed and delivered a custom enclosure that fits like it was factory-made. The attention to detail is unreal — every seam, snap, and stitch is flawless. Even after a full season of sun and salt, it still looks brand new. You can tell these guys love what they do. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my boat.”
