About SunSkipper
Why the foredeck
Spend a day at anchor and you notice where people want to be. The cockpit has a bimini, but it's also the way below and the busiest place on board. The foredeck is wide, quiet and flat — and in full sun for most of the day.
The shade options we found were either bulky, fiddly to rig, or looked like an afterthought on a boat people care about. So we designed SunSkipper: a taut canopy that hooks onto the forestay, straps to the stanchions, goes up without tools and packs into one bag.
It is made for a boat at rest — at anchor, on a mooring or in the marina — and comes down before you sail.
Our principles
How we work
One idea, done properly
We make shade for the foredeck, and nothing else. Every part is also sold on its own, so a lost shackle never means a new kit.
Honest about fit
If we're not sure SunSkipper suits your boat, we'll say so before you buy — send us the make and model and we'll check.
