If your Malibu G3 or G3.5 Bimini is faded, torn, worn or damaged, you may not need to replace the entire Bimini system.
A replacement Bimini skin can be a practical option when your existing frame and tower are still suitable. CoverCraft's Malibu G3 & G3.5 Bimini skins are made using model-specific patterns for a secure, clean fit.
Which Malibu Bimini Skin Do You Need?
The most important step before ordering is choosing the correct model, year and configuration.
CoverCraft currently offers configurations covering Malibu G3 and G3.5 systems, including options for different models, Illusion tower configurations, navigation-light setups, Surf Pockets and Targa Sock requirements.
| Your Requirement | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Malibu G3 | Model + year |
| Malibu G3.5 | Model + year |
| Illusion SSX/SX | Correct configuration |
| Navigation light | With/without navigation option |
| Surf setup | Surf Pocket option |
| Targa configuration | Targa Sock option |

Do You Need a New Bimini or Just a Replacement Skin?
If your existing tower and Bimini frame are still suitable, you may only need the replacement skin.
This can be particularly relevant when the existing canvas has become:
- Faded from sun exposure
- Torn or damaged
- Worn from regular use
- Weathered or deteriorated
CoverCraft designs these replacement skins to fit the original Malibu G3 Bimini frame for the specified boat configuration.

How Much Does a Malibu Bimini Skin Cost?
CoverCraft's current Malibu G3 & G3.5 Bimini Skin range is listed from $1,400 to $2,030, depending on the selected model and configuration.
The price can vary because the required skin depends on your boat's model, year and configuration.
So before comparing prices, make sure you are comparing the correct replacement for your Malibu.
Why Choose a Custom-Fit Bimini Skin?
A Bimini skin needs to work with the boat's existing tower and frame.
CoverCraft's skins are developed using model-specific patterns and manufactured with marine-grade, UV-stabilised fabrics designed for outdoor and marine conditions. They are manufactured at CoverCraft's Bayswater, Victoria workshop.
This gives you:
- Model-specific fit
- Marine-grade fabric
- UV-stabilised material
- Australian manufacturing
- Clean, secure fit
- Protection from sun, dirt and moisture
Australian UV exposure can be significant, so choosing UV-stabilised material is an important consideration for outdoor marine equipment. For more information about UV exposure and protection, see the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).
CoverCraft also currently lists a 5-year workmanship warranty and 3-year materials warranty, subject to appropriate care and maintenance.
