Shrink wrap season is here, Vermilion. ❄️

Beacon Boatworks is booking now for fall wraps, boats 17' to 55', done right where your boat is stored. Tight, vented wraps built to handle snow load and lakefront wind, with zipper access doors available.

We wrap October through mid-December, and the schedule fills quickly once the leaves start dropping. Get on the list early, and you won't be scrambling when the first cold snap hits.

Message us or call with your boat's make, length, and storage location for a quote.
