Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know it will fit my boat?

Every shade is patterned in 3D to the exact measurements you send us, and we confirm those numbers with you before we cut anything. If something looks off, we call you first. That is our Perfect Fit Guarantee, backed by 52 years of getting it right.

How hard is the install?

Easy. The mounting hardware attaches to your T-top with four screws or fewer, sometimes none at all, and your poles set into the rod holders you already have. We send a length of rope that threads through everything so you can pull the shade taut. Once it is set up, the shade goes up in under 60 seconds and stows just as fast.

How long until I have my shade?

We ship your poles and hardware first. As soon as you send your measurements, we build your shade in just a few days. Most customers have their whole system flying in two weeks or less.

Do you ship anywhere in the country?

Yes. We build every shade by hand in Delray Beach, Florida and ship anywhere in the United States. Shipping is free.

What is it made of?

Premium Serge Ferrari Soltis 86 shade fabric, 100% PTFE lifetime thread that will not rot in the sun, and all-stainless quick-release hardware. Poles come in carbon fiber, stainless steel, or aluminum.

Can I choose the color?

Yes. Soltis 86 comes in a range of colors, and we confirm your exact color when we confirm your measurements after checkout.

What if I measure wrong?

You are covered. We review every measurement before building, and if a shade ever does not fit right, we will remake or adjust it. We stand behind the fit.
