Island Style Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not sure if this is allowed but wanted to give you guys a quick review. We were looking for shade for the boat and we didn't want to go with a bimini top. Ended up buying a Taylor Made umbrella for 100 bucks. It is made really well with straps on all 4 corners to tie it down. It looks like it will hold up really well in the salt water environment. Just wanted to pass this along to anyone that may be looking. Thanks JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any accessory that makes boating better, or prevents sun damage is welcomed. Too many of us are battling pre-cancerous damage... and worse. Pictures, please..

CG RYAN Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I use a regular patio umbrella on every trip and it has lasted over a year so far. I bought it at target on clearance for like $20. They are on clearance at most targets right now actually. I just throw it in the console rod holder with a bungee cord on it and it keeps the kids out of the sun. I'm going to check out the taylor made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Same here, Ryan. A cheap beach umbrella stuck in my console rod holder helps me stay on the water a few extra hours in the summer. I'm a skin cancer survivor so any time I spend in the shade and out of the blazing summer sun is time well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OUTLAW Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Costco sells a nice one for like $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed those last time I was there but didn't take a close look because I was already in line. Do they seem like they will hold up well? For the money I'll be happy if they last a year. We have the Tommy Bahama beach chairs and they seem very well made and are cheaper than other beach chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it designed to go in a rod holder or does it stand anywhere and is supported by the 4 straps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
