How Much does it Cost to Shrink Wrap a Boat?

The cost to shrink wrap a boat in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) varies depending on the vessel’s size, type, and complexity. Pricing is typically calculated using a boat shrink wrap price per foot.

### Typical Pricing by Boat Type

  1. Runabouts / Bowriders (18–22 ft): Average cost is $12–$16 per foot. These are generally the most affordable due to standard beam widths and simple hull shapes.
  2. Pontoon Boats (20–25 ft): Average cost is $14–$18 per foot. The wider beam and flat deck shape require more material and labor.
  3. Sailboats (25–30 ft with mast up): Average cost is $18–$22 per foot. Leaving the mast up adds complexity and requires a taller frame and extra material.

For a standard 20-foot boat, total costs generally range between $300 and $500.

### Key Factors Influencing Cost

  • Vessel Dimensions: Both the length and the beam width (width of the boat) determine the amount of material used.
  • Complexity: Protrusions such as radar arches, antennas, outdrives, or stepped masts increase labor time and material waste.
  • Ventilation: Professional installation includes ventilation ports to prevent moisture, mold, and mildew, which is factored into the service price.
  • Bundled Packages: Many owners choose boat winterization and shrink wrap packages, which combine shrink wrapping with engine preservation and battery care for better overall value.
