About Florida Boat Canvas

Our Mission & Values

Our mission is for precision work, delivered on time. We warranty everything we do. 

We are third generation Italian tailors, in this industry and manufacturing for three generations. My grandfather learned his trade in Italy, coming as a teen, beginning his business here with multiple, adult employees. His work was legendary, and skills were sought after by some of the largest garment firms in the world. My first suit, as a four year old, was hand tailored. I still remember (and cherish) that process with my grandfather: the measurements, the canvas suit, the measurements again, the patterns from that canvas, then the final suit and tailoring. Our values run deep. 

My father and uncles were in clothing manufacturing, and I grew up in this industry. To this day, I still have my (other) grandfather’s factory sewing machine.

Additionally, my great-grandfather was a sea captain, regularly transporting wine between Palermo and Rome. I personally grew up on the water, boating from before my teens. We know boats, and boaters.
