C2Shore is eager to introduce their new product to the market. Clear2Sea and Cool2Sea are the newest products for acrylic enclosures entering the marine world. The Shore family first began doing upholstery in the early 1980’s in West Palm Beach, Florida.
With increased competition for the residential and antique furniture markets and more requests for marine work, it was time to specialize. In the mid 1990’s the Shore’s eldest son, Jeremy, made the decision to enter the marine space. Jeremy graduated from the University of Florida and previously worked for the family business. When the Shores entered the world of yacht and boat interior upholstery and soft-goods, C2shore was born.
Clear2Sea and Cool2Sea are the newest acrylic enclosure products available on the market. Both have 98% Broad spectrum UV protection, with Cool2sea having improved glare reduction, enhanced night vision, and up to 10 degrees of ambient heat reduction for an air-conditioned flybridge. Cool2sea and Clear2sea antiquate the existing acrylic enclosures, on the market for the last 20 years, that provide only 70% uv blocking. C2Shore is one of 38 exclusively licensed world-wide businesses that fabricate these enhanced/new acrylic enclosures.
C2Shore takes pride in having a successful and growing family business. Although they have never branded themselves, Jeremy Shore believes that professional customer service and quality of workmanship is the way to keep the business successful. “We pride ourselves in customer service. Our relationships with our customers kept us alive through the recessions of the past twenty-five years,” said Shore.
Shore believes that his loyal customers have been a significant part in the success of the business. In addition to our loyal customers, Jeremy said people typically hear about C2Shore by referral, so it’s important to keep their customers happy. Shore stated that over the years his customers have been enjoyable to work with and he is lucky to have met so many great people in the boating world.
