Boston Whaler 210 Outrage / RTX Pull-Out Shade

You Can’t Own a Boat Without Having a SureShade!

Love SureShade. SureShade solves our family's sun problems by providing coverage for the entire boat with ease. Setup is easy and quick, and nothing obstructs the fishing poles. I can even leave it out while underway - hit 30 knots without retracting the shades. Thank you for making this product a reality and supporting DIYers with older boats.

Antonio P.

Boston Whaler 320 Outrage Cuddy / MTF Manual Shade

The Design is Very Simple to Operate and Maintain

SureShade is just perfect for my boat - very well finished and it looks like an original part of the boat. Our family is happy to have a SureShade on board all the time to make sure I always have a shade to enjoy the day. I am completely happy and satisfied with your product!

Phil S.

Sabre 42 Salon Express / ATF Automated Shade

If it Doesn’t have a SureShade, it’s Just Another Boat!

We are so happy with our SureShade shade system and how essential it has become for our boat. As far as we are concerned, if it doesn't have a SureShade, it's not a boat!

Scott B.

Sabre 38 Salon Express / ATF Automated Shade

I Wouldn’t Own a Boat Without a SureShade!

We choose SureShade for its design, ease of operation and great looks. With just a push of a button we can go from full sun in the cockpit to shade in a matter of seconds.

Grady White 28 Marlin / MTF Manual Shade

Enhances the Value of My Boat

I love the fact that there are no straps or supports that might interfere with other activities on board. Aside from being very functional, I think it looks well integrated and enhances the value of the boat.

John Adams

Exclusive Designer / Formula Boats

An Outstanding Addition to Our Line

Adding the SureShade feature on our Formula models has been an outstanding addition to our line. The environmental decision to help keep our owners out of the sun and refreshed has proved to be rewarding for everyone involved.

Roger P.

Sabre 38 / ATF Automated Shade

A Wonderful Addition!

SureShade was a wonderful addition to my boat and over the 2600 miles from Palm Beach to Lake Michigan I was asked at least a dozen times by boaters along the way about the shade.

John H.

Signature Haines / MTF Manual Shade

I strongly recommend SureShade – don’t hesitate, just do it!

Our SureShade top turned out even better than expected! The shade now covers for full extent of the quarterdeck, with no side poles to get in the way of the fishing rods. It’s just a simple little exercise of winding the handle for the telescopic poles, and Hey Presto – instant shade.

This is an Entertaining Paradise

Ferrante touts the boat’s many American-made components, such as the SureShade retractable shade over the massive aft entertainment area of the Azimut 40 Verve

Director of Marketing / Cruisers Yachts

No Canvas to Fret Over

The automated shade system allows us to maintain a flagship feature of the Cantius line – no canvas to fret over.

Chris Jamieson

Boat Dealer / Hampton Watercraft & Marine

It’s a Great Way to Catch Their Attention

Many people are drawn to the shade before they check out the boat – it’s a great way to catch their attention.

Stu T.

Boston Whaler 370 Outrage / ATF Automated Boat Shade

Absolutely Necessary!

Absolutely necessary when grilling on our Boston Whaler 370 Outrage. One of the most important additions to our boat hands down. Would highly recommend an electronic SureShade to anyone who loves boating as much as we do.

Letitia Lane

Director / Scott Lane Boat Builders

We Love Your Product!

As boat builders of custom boats for 18 plus years many of our clients have asked us for shade systems over cockpit areas. The SureShade system is a perfect solution for us. Once again we love your product!

Denny T.

Tiara 2900 Open / ATF Automated Boat Shade

Do You Want Sun or Shade?

The huge advantage of a SureShade top is that it has no metal framing or straps that can interfere with full access around the open area of our Tiara. Now I can ask my guests in the open area: do you want sun or shade, and let me know if you want to change it at any time.

Tom G.

Grady-White 282 / MTF Manual Boat Shade

We Are Able to Stay Out Longer on the Boat

The summer sun is quite brutal in SW Florida and the shade is appreciated by all passengers. The SureShade provides extra sun protection over the entire cockpit of my boat. We were able to stay out longer on the boat and still keep everyone protected from the direct sun.

Lauren & John T.

World Cat 266 / MTF Manual Boat Shade

It is Too Sunny for Just a T-Top!

Getting the SureShade MTF manual boat shade was a necessary upgrade that was easily installed aftermarket. We love the SureShade because it does not use poles that go into our rod holders and take up room. It is super sturdy and looks great! We love the design and the [Sunbrella] fabric used.

Rock Solid Service

The SureShade customer service team & service manager Chris La Selva has delivered outstanding service - rock solid and the best service we have ever seen at a show!

Tim H.

Sabre 48 / ATF Automated Boat Shade

I’ve Been a SureShade Owner for 3 Yachts Over 10 Years

All three of my Sabre Yachts - 2006 38', 2012-42' and 2013 48' - have been equipped with SureShade. All were aftermarket installs with the 38' installed by myself and the other two installed by DiMillos. Over the 10 years I have been a SureShade owner I watched you grow to an amazing company. Your team and customer service is outstanding - keep up the great work, product and philosophy!

Rob G.

Sabre 45 / ATF Automated Boat Shade

I Couldn’t Imagine Not Having a SureShade!!

I would like to say that the SureShade on our Sabre 45 is completely awesome! After spending the summer with it I could not imagine not having one!!

Jim W.

Sea Hunt 211 / RTX Pull-Out Boat Shade

Very Well Made Product & Looks Great on T-Top

I needed more shade than the T-top on my Sea Hunt provides. I had tried several adhoc methods to add shade but was not happy with the look or the time it took to setup and take down the shade. I used the SureShade clamp system with my DIY install to ensure it was mounted under my rod holders. Very well made product with very good support!

Bob B.

Buddy Davis 28 CC / MTX Pull-Out Boat Shade

Very Pleased with Custom Fit, Ease of Use

We are very pleased with the custom fit, high quality stainless steel and Sunbrella fabric, and ease of use in deploying and retracting. [Boat features 2 MTX shades - aft and bow]
