Custom SuperyachtSunshades

Yes. Superyacht shades are the one product we ship anywhere in the world. Your crew sends us a couple of measurements and photos, we build the shade in our South Florida loft, and we ship it to whatever port or shipyard the boat is in. Med, Caribbean, Gulf, Pacific: if a freight carrier can reach it, we can shade it.

Two ways, and both work from any port. You can ship us the old shades and we pattern from what you have, or your crew can take simple hand measurements to the poles and hardware already on the boat, with our guidance. Email sunshades@nationalcanvasfl.com with the vessel and what you want shaded, and we will send back exactly what to measure. If the boat is in South Florida, we will come to her instead.

Yes, and it is one of the most common superyacht jobs we do. If the yacht already has shade poles, padeyes, or an awning frame, we build new shades to fit the existing hardware exactly. The crew measures the attachment points, we build to those numbers, and the new shade goes up tight and clean. No need to fly a crew out or replace hardware that is already right.

Premium marine-grade fabrics, chosen for the job: fully waterproof coated fabrics that shrug off weather, or perforated, breathable weaves for light, airy shade. Any color, color-matched to the yacht's canvas, cushions, or hull, with custom embroidery of the vessel name available. Every fabric we use holds its color and strength season after season, stows down compactly, and deploys tight and clean. Poles are carbon fiber, mounts are stainless steel.

Both. When the boat is in South Florida we come to her and install start to finish, scheduled around your itinerary. Shades built for existing hardware are designed so the crew can rig them in minutes: up for the anchorage, down and stowed before you get underway. For a brand-new outfit anywhere else, we can coordinate third-party installation wherever the yacht is lying.

Minutes. That is the point of the system: carbon fiber telescoping poles, quick-release stainless mounts, and a shade that tensions tight and clean and stows just as easily. The crew can set shade for an afternoon at anchor and have the deck clear again before the anchor is up.

Yes. If you bought carbon fiber shade poles, Carbiepoles or any other pole system, and still need the shade itself, that is exactly what we build. Send us the pole positions and a couple of measurements and we will pattern a shade that tensions tight and clean on your existing poles and mounts, in any color, shipped anywhere in the world.

Yes. The same shade system we build for superyachts started on center consoles, and you can order a custom center console sunshade online with free shipping anywhere in the country. Same fabric, carbon fiber poles, and stainless mounts, sized for the tender or the family boat.

It depends on the coverage area, the number of shade panels, and how much hardware the project needs. A bow shade for an 80-footer is a different job than shading a full sundeck. Send us photos and rough dimensions and we will quote it quickly and honestly.
