Customer Spotlight: PM Winter Boat Covers
At Stomp, we love seeing small businesses make a big splash—and that’s exactly what Darren Fitzgerald of PM Winter Boat Covers has done. Based on a love for boating and a passion for great customer service, Darren turned a simple side hustle into a full-time business helping boaters protect their investment with high-quality, American-made covers.
We caught up with Darren to learn how a restaurant shutdown sparked his entrepreneurial journey, why he’s always on call for his customers, and how something as simple as a sticker helps him connect with boaters across the country.
From Side Hustle to Full Throttle
“I started selling boat covers online while working in the restaurant industry,” says Darren. “When the restaurant I worked at closed during COVID, I went all-in on boat covers—and it’s been awesome.” What began as a part-time project quickly turned into a thriving business. Today, PM Winter Boat Covers is a trusted name for quality, American-made covers designed to withstand the elements and keep boats in tip-top shape.
Building Trust, One Cover at a Time
Darren’s mission is simple: be the guy boaters come back to again and again. “I want my company to be thought of as the most trusted boat cover retailer online,” he says. That means offering expert advice, taking the time to get every fit just right, and going above and beyond—even showing up in person to measure a customer’s boat, free of charge. It’s all part of his plan to turn first-time buyers into lifelong customers.
All-American Covers with All-In Service
What sets PM Winter Boat Covers apart? For starters, every cover Darren sells is made in the USA. He also makes himself available seven days a week—because boat problems don’t always stick to a Monday-through-Friday schedule. With personalized service and a deep knowledge of what boaters really need, Darren is changing what people expect from an online retailer.
American Flag Stickers That Make a Statement
Darren discovered Stomp when he spotted our American flag stickers online—and immediately knew they belonged with every order. “Every order I sell should get an American flag sticker,” he says. “And everyone I meet at boat shows should get free American flag stickers too.” The response? Total hit. Darren sets the stickers out at his booth and tells people to grab as many as they want. It’s a small gesture that helps him make a big impression—and proudly fly the flag for his brand.
