Our story
The story of Sunfly System
From a simple idea on the water to the strongest carbon fiber shade pole system in the industry.
Sunfly Systems was born out of frustration. Spending long days anchored at the sandbar or offshore with no real shade solution bulky frames, annoying support straps, and systems that took forever to set up we knew there had to be a better way.
Based in Riviera Beach, FL, we engineered the Sunfly shade pole system from the ground up using anodized carbon fiber the strongest material available with patented 316 stainless steel duo-cam cleats. Our poles insert into any standard 1.5" rod holder and deploy shade in seconds. No straps. No tools. No drama.
Today, Sunfly poles are trusted by boat owners across the country from center console fishermen and T-top boat owners to operators of sportfish yachts and luxury mega yachts over 100 feet.
