There’s nothing more frustrating than a flapping bimini, a broken canopy clip, or a boat cover that won't stay put. These small fittings are the difference between a relaxing day and a constant annoyance. That’s why you need fittings you can trust. Saint Marine is the 100% Australian-owned and operated brand that makes tough, reliable canopy and cover hardware built for our harsh conditions.
In a world of imported goods, Saint Marine stands out. As a fourth-generation Australian family company, they have been manufacturing quality products since 1946. They live by their motto, "Fittings you can trust," because their products are made in Australia, by Australians, for Australians.
This isn't just a slogan; it's a promise of quality. Saint Marine understands our tough weather, blazing sun, and corrosive saltwater. They engineer their fittings from high-quality, UV-stabilised materials like nylon and 316 stainless steel to provide a lifetime of reliable performance. When you choose Saint Marine, you're choosing a piece of equipment that will not fail, break, or let you down when you need it most.
A bimini or canopy is only as strong as its weakest link. A single cracked fitting can make the whole structure useless. This is where Saint Marine products are essential. They specialise in the tough, high-impact nylon fittings that form the backbone of your canopy.
When you're building a new frame or, more commonly, repairing an old one, you need parts that last. The UV-stabilised nylon canopy tube knuckles provide a strong, reliable pivot point for your frame, allowing it to fold without seizing or snapping.
The canopy deck mounts create a solid, corrosion-free base on your boat's gunwale, and the canopy bow ends fit neatly into the tube ends to provide a clean, professional finish and a strong attachment point. Unlike cheap plastic or pot metal fittings, these nylon Saint Marine products won't get brittle in the sun or corrode from salt spray.
The small hardware on your canopy makes all the difference in its usability. Canopy thumb screws are a perfect example. These are what allow you to quickly fold your bimini down for travel or remove it for storage, all without needing a single tool.
The Saint Marine thumb screws are designed with large, easy-to-grip 2-eared or 3-eared heads that you can use even with wet hands. The strong nylon threads won't strip or cross-thread, giving you a simple, reliable fitting that just works, every time.
A flapping boat cover is a fast way to destroy it, whether you're parked in the driveway or towing on the highway. Your tonneau or storage cover needs to be held down with firm, even tension. Saint Marine's cover fittings are the perfect solution.
We stock the classic tonneau cover buttons, the simple and robust anchor points that you fix to the hull of your boat. These are paired with durable shock cord loops. These loops are the best way to fasten your cover, as the elastic provides constant tension that absorbs wind flap and shock, keeping your cover tight, secure, and protected.
