Offshore fishing days are long, the sun is relentless, and your crew deserves protection that can keep up with the pace of the action. Sunfly shade systems are purpose-built for serious anglers delivering maximum cockpit shade on sportfishing boats without getting in the way of fishing. No support straps crossing the cockpit, no drilling into your deck, no interference with your lines or outriggers.
 

Our carbon fiber poles drop directly into your existing rod holders, making setup fast and takedown even faster. When a fish is on the line and you need the cockpit completely clear, the shade comes down in just minutes. Between fights and while drifting baits, your crew stays cool and protected from harmful UV rays trip after trip, season after season, without compromise.
 

Sunfly poles are the strongest carbon fiber shade poles in the marine industry, paired with marine-grade anodized aluminum hardware that stands up to saltwater, heat, and the punishment of offshore use. Whether you fish a classic convertible, an express sportfish, or a custom build, Sunfly fits seamlessly into your setup.

Browse our sportfish gallery below to see real installations on a wide range of boats from 30-foot express fishing boats to 80-foot custom sportfishers. Ready to fish in the shade? Shop Sunfly Poles or contact us to find the right setup for your boat.
