The weather is warming up and boating season is finally here! With boat lovers beginning to plan long days out on the water, LaPorte Products Boat Shade Kits and Harbor Shade Kits have become hot commodities for keeping you cool and protected while on board.
Yet which one is right for your marine needs? While both the Boat Shade Kit and Harbor Shade Kit are similar in construction and the materials used, there are notable differences between the two. If you’re looking to purchase one of our Boat Shades or Harbor Shades, here’s what you need to know:
LaPorte Products Boat Shade Kit
- Designed for Center Console or Walk-Around Style boat models
- Ideal for boats that are between 17 and 34 feet
- The majority of boat lines are already measured and fitted, so you can order a shade for your boat almost anytime
- Catamarans – potential to use a regular Boat Shade Kit depending on the size of the cockpit
LaPorte Products Harbor Shade Kit
- Designed for Sport Fishing, Yacht, & Cruiser Style boat models
- Ideal for boats 35 feet and larger
- Will typically attach to SeaSucker Vacuum Cups but may be able to be attached directly to the framework of your boat
- Have a center support strap that attaches to framework and keeps the large shade from sagging
- Have a cross strap
- Catamarans – If the cockpit is larger, an ultimate shade kit will be needed
What LaPorte Products Shade Kits Have in Common:
- Made from a space age expandable material called Resilience that looks, feels and stretches like spandex and reflects up to 75% of UV heat, while blocking out damaging UV rays
- Provide shade for your boat that is not permanent, is portable, and is easily stored
- Allow you and your family to remain comfortable and protected from the sun while out on the water
- Remain whisper-quiet while underway
- You can run up to 30 knots while in the standard aft position
- Uniquely flexible for multiple positions on the boat
- Allow for simple, one-person installation
No matter what shade solution fits your boat needs, our Boat Shade Kits and Harbor Shade Kits are the best sun protection out on the water. At the end of the day, you’ll be able to stay out longer if you and your family are comfortable, which means more time for fun, fishing, and relaxing on your boat the way you like it best.
Protect yourself and your investment.
