The Best Jet Ski Covers

The 2 worst things for your jet ski is the Sun and Water. Ironic isn’t it, but it’s true! This is why finding the best Jet Ski cover is so important.

What size do you need? Will it hold up? Is it even worth it? All those questions and more I answer below.

What Size Jet Ski Cover Do You Need?

The biggest question you might have is what size do you need? I’ve made a chart to show the typical sizes for 2018 watercraft below to give you an idea. I’ve rounded up to the nearest inch too.

Still not sure on what size to get? It’s better to get a cover that is too big than one that is not big enough. Your main goal for when it comes to a jet ski cover is to keep the sun off of it. Many of the universal covers you get won’t be a perfect fit but do work fine and can even tighten down too.

OEM Covers

The OEM covers, the ones made by the same manufacturer as your watercraft, are going to fit the best. But this does not mean I consider them the best covers.

I’ve noticed that some people have trouble putting on the OEM covers compared to the universal fitting covers.

Another downside to the OEM covers is there cost. I will say they’re built really well and are thick. But a cover to me is something that will need to be replaced eventually, and I have an easier time buying more affordable universal fitting covers instead. I actually use a universal fitting cover for my Sea-Doo that I go into detail at the bottom.

What Do I Use?

What kind of Jet Ski website would this be if I didn’t have a Jet Ski nor a cover for it? Could you trust a website if that was the case?

I personally own a Sea-Doo Spark, and the cover I use for it is this one here. I stick with the universal fitting covers nowadays because the OEM ones are just too much to deal with.

This cover works great for me, keeps the sun off of it and the rainwater away from the footwells. I don’t have it on when I trailer the jet ski, but I don’t keep a cover on any jet ski I trailer. I’ve sold and bought many watercraft, and every time I’ve trailered a jet ski the cover would fly off so I don’t do that anymore.
