Cuddy Cabin Boat Covers

About Cuddy Cabin Boats

Cuddy Cabin boats combine a cruiser with a bowrider offering both versatility and agility. “Cuddy” originally meant a small room or cupboard. This later became the name for living quarters on a ship, and from there it came to mean a small, enclosed cabin. Often these cabins include a sleeping berth and a head (the nautical term for “toilet”).
