Even cooler than the boat!" Legend Shaun Murray goes behind the scenes at our Central Florida HQ to see how the Touchless Covers® are made. 🇺🇸

When you have spent your entire life on the water, you learn one thing very quickly: the boat is the fun part, but the maintenance is a chore. No one knows this better than wakeboarding legend Shaun Murray. As a four-time World Champion and a man whose life is practically synonymous with the lake, Shaun has seen every gadget and "solution" the marine industry has to offer.


That is why we were thrilled to host Shaun at our Touchless Cover® Headquarters in Central Florida. He did not just come to see the finished product; he wanted to see exactly how the magic happens.


American-Made Quality You Can Trust

In an era of outsourcing, we take immense pride in the fact that our covers are made in the USA. When Shaun stepped into our factory, he was immediately struck by the scale and precision of our operation. This is not a small assembly line. It is a high-tech manufacturing hub where durability meets innovation.


"They have been doing it for a long time," Shaun noted as he watched our team at work. That experience is woven into every stitch and every frame we build. We have spent decades refining our patented design to ensure that when a customer hits that remote, the cover operates flawlessly every single time.


The Science of Touchless Protection

During his tour, Shaun got a firsthand look at the engineering that goes into the frames. From the sparks flying during the welding process to the final assembly of the high-performance fabric, every step is designed to solve a specific problem for boat owners.

The traditional boat cover is a hassle. It requires snapping, cinching, and climbing over wet upholstery. It often traps moisture, leading to mold and mildew. The Touchless Cover® changes the game by creating a protective environment that never actually touches the boat. It shields your investment from harmful UV rays, preventing gel coat oxidation and upholstery fading. It also keeps out debris and wildlife, providing a roof-like shield against heavy rain and wind.


A Personal Connection

For Shaun, this visit was more than a business trip. As a professional athlete and a family man, his time is his most valuable resource. Every minute spent struggling with a traditional cover is a minute taken away from being on the water or with his family.

"Not only can I get my boat inside there, but I have got something that is even cooler," Shaun teased. While he kept the specifics of his custom setup under wraps for the full reveal, the versatility of the Touchless system is what sets it apart. Whether you have a wakeboard tower, a pontoon, or a high-performance personal watercraft, our covers are custom-engineered to fit your specific needs and dock configuration.


Why Central Florida?

Being based in Central Florida is about being in the heart of the boating world. Our environment serves as the ultimate testing ground. If a cover can withstand the intense Florida sun and the torrential afternoon downpours, it can handle anything. We use only the highest-grade materials, including Top Gun fabric with a 7 year warrenty, to ensure that our covers last as long as the boats they protect.


The Future of Boat Protection

Having someone like Shaun Murray validate the work we do at HQ is a testament to our commitment to excellence. Shaun understands that a boat is a vessel for memories. By protecting that vessel with a Touchless Cover®, you are ensuring that your next weekend on the water is spent enjoying the lake rather than cleaning your boat.


If you are tired of the cover struggle, it is time to go touchless. Follow Shaun Murray’s lead and see why the best in the business trust us with their boats.
