How it Works

Our boat shrink wrapping service consists of a custom-fit cover using 10mm #4 low-density polyethylene resin. Our expert technicians will secure your boat by padding any sharp protrusions or valuable, fragile elements that you choose to leave in place.

We’ll then lay a cover over your boat and apply a perimeter band, belly band and tethers. Once the cover is securely in place, our technicians will use a propane heat torch to heat the plastic, shrinking it into place tightly around your boat.

Testimonials and Reviews

“Olympic Shrink Wrap did another great job for me. I have used them two years in a row to have my boat wrapped and protected for winter. This year I did not have a cover for my boat so their ability to come out ASAP was awesome. Price is great and I don’t have to worry about rain filling my cover up and tearing it. They were able to come out to my storage facility, and complete the job without me having to be there…saving me a lot of time. The wrap lasted well over the quoted 6 months as we were a little late to the boating season this year.

Super easy company to work with and I will definitely be a customer next year when it comes time to wrap the boat.”

“These folks are terrific! Excellent communication and on time for the job.
They wrapped our boat and two wave runners for transporting across the country. Excellent pricing and top-notch work!”

“Today I had Olympic shrink wrap prepare my 18 foot aluminum Klamath boat ready to drive to Florida from San Diego. Chris is the expert technician applying the shrink wrap today. He did and absolutely outstanding job. I couldn’t be more happy. He spent a lot of time prepping my boat properly so that he could do an outstanding wrap job. Attention to detail really pays off as the results would prove. The price of the wrap job was very competitive. Julie who I talked to you on the phone did an absolute wonderful job also setting up my appointment. Thank you Chris for doing an outstanding job wrapping my boat today for shipment. And a big thank you to Olympic shrink wrap. I will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Boat wrap job. Came out quickly and finished promptly. Start to finish very professional and job well done. Will use again in the future.”

“Best price and great service! I shopped around to have my boat shrink wrapped before I shipped it to Guam. This guy was great. He drove up to Long Beach to do the work. When I got to Guam the wrap was still completely intact but totally covered in grime, so glad I had it covered! Don’t think I’ll be shipping another boat to Guam but if I do Olympic will protect it for me!”

Boat Shrink Wrapping Applications

Boat shrink wrapping can be used in a number of applications to ensure your property remains safe during storage. Shrink wrap provides a safer, cost-effective alternative to flimsy tarps and generally-sized fabric covers.

Protect your boat from harmful UV rays and the elements with our custom-fit polyethylene shrink wrap.

Long-term Boat Storage

For long-term boat storage, our boat shrink wrapping solution offers unparalleled protection against the intense sun and saltwater exposure of southern regions. By enveloping your boat in a tight, weather-resistant barrier, our shrink wrap safeguards your vessel’s surfaces and interiors, ensuring it remains in optimal condition for extended periods.

Short-term Boat Storage

Even for short-term storage, boat shrink wrapping is invaluable in southwestern regions such as SoCal, Lake Havasu and Lake Tahoe. Sudden weather changes and minor damage risks can arise unexpectedly. Our shrink wrap shields your boat from these potential threats, providing an additional layer of protection that keeps your vessel safe between outings.

Boat Transportation

During boat transportation, our shrink wrap acts as a reliable shield against road debris, wind and other elements that your boat might encounter on the journey. By tightly sealing your boat, we ensure it arrives at its destination in the same pristine condition it left.

Protection Against Wildlife

In Southern California’s unique environment, critters can cause unexpected damage to your boat. Our shrink wrap forms an effective barrier against unwelcome wildlife, preventing nesting and other potential harm, ensuring your boat remains critter free and undamaged.

Protection Against the Elements

Southern California’s weather can be unpredictable, with strong winds and rain posing risks to your boat. Our shrink wrap serves as a steadfast defense against these elements, offering comprehensive coverage that shields your vessel from potential damage.

Theft Deterrent

Beyond its protective benefits, boat shrink wrap acts as a powerful deterrent against theft. The secure barrier created by our shrink wrap makes unauthorized access to your boat significantly more difficult, deterring potential thieves and providing you with peace of mind.

Each application of boat shrink wrapping is customized, ensuring your boat remains secure, preserved and ready for any situation that arises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using shrink wrap for a boat?

Whether you’re storing your boat or transporting it, shrink wrapping provides an essential element of protection for your investment. Shrink wrapping your boat protects it while in transit, keeping debris and the elements away from the boat when traveling at high speeds. Just think, how much does it cost to repair that rock chip to the gel coat of your boat versus using shrink wrap as an added layer of protection during transport. Shrink wrapping also protects boats during the off-season, while in storage. It protects against weather damage from the sun’s harmful UV rays, rain and salt air. Our shrink wrap also acts as a theft deterrent and keeps small animals from entering your boat and creating nests and/or dens while it’s in idle storage.
Can I use a blue tarp instead of shrink wrapping my boat?

Theoretically, you can use a blue tarp to cover your boat, but it will not stand up to the elements the way our shrink wrap will. Using custom-fit technology, we ensure that the shrinkwrap applied to your boat is 100% fitted to its shape and size, leaving behind no loose surfaces that may snag during transit or get blown away by the wind. Using tarps to cover your boat can lead to expensive damages. Tarps offer loose fits, which inevitably become untethered when exposed to severe weather. Under windy conditions, tarps can loosen from their clamps, flapping in the wind and exposing the boat. They can also snag in transit or on equipment near the storage site. Tarps can also fray and become worn over time due to rain, salt air, sand gusts, sun rays and hail, leaving your boat unprotected. Our shrink wrap is infused with UV inhibitors making our custom-fit covers last for years.
How does shrink wrapping work?
Shrink wrapping is actually a customized cover made specifically for your item. The technician will pad and protect any sharp protrusions, or any valuable or fragile elements that you choose to leave in place.
- A piece of large plastic fabric is laid over the object.
- A perimeter band, a belly band and other tethers will also be used to tuck the plastic cover into place.
- After everything is nice and secure, our technician will use a propane heat torch to heat the plastic, causing it to shrink into place and tighten around your object securely.
How long does Olympic Shrink Wrap last?
How long does it take for a typical boat to be shrink wrapped?
Can I retrieve items from my boat once it’s shrink wrapped?
What are the factors that determine the cost of an on-site shrink wrapped order?
Several factors determine the cost of on-site shrink wrap orders. They include:
- The dimensions of the item to be shrink wrapped, including height, width and length
- Any protrusions or sensitive areas that need protection
- The location, the travel distance, of the shrink wrap order
- Please measure the item and give us a phone call, and we can provide you with a quote.
How is the shrink wrap kept in place while in transit?
Shrink Wrap stays in place primarily due to a combination of the high-quality polyethylene material we use and the intensive manner in which we apply the material, ensuring that all requirements and expectations are met.
- We use thick nylon strapping to run along the perimeter of your boat.
- We install a belly band that runs underneath the bow of the boat, which will hold the wrap on, sort of like an oversized shower cap.
- If desired, we can provide additional protection such as sealing off the edges of the wrap, ensuring an air-tight fit.
What is the thickness and quality of the shrink wrap material that you use?
Is shrink wrapping my boat really necessary in the ideal California climate?

On the East Coast, it’s common to see boats shrink wrapped for winterization while in storage during the off-season. But is that necessary in the milder California climate? Absolutely. California may have a milder climate, but it still experiences harsh weather and boats can be susceptible to elemental damage from harmful UV rays, salt air and sand gusts. Leave a red shirt out in the California sun for just a couple of days and you will find a faded and badly weathered shirt. Our shrink wrap creates that barrier from the sun’s rays that keep that rubber mounding from cracking or that beautiful paint job from fading.

Olympic Shrink Wrap provides exceptional protection against the elements, acts as a theft deterrent and protects your investment from intrusive animals and birds while in storage.
