Inflatable Biminis for Boats

Inflatable biminis are the smartest solution for boat owners who want shade, comfort and flexibility without permanent installations.
DeckTent inflatable biminis are designed to be installed in minutes, without drilling, and to provide reliable sun protection both at anchor and while cruising.

Whether you own a motorboat, a RIB or a sailboat, inflatable biminis offer a practical, lightweight and durable alternative to traditional metal-frame biminis.

What Is an Inflatable Bimini and How Does It Work?

An inflatable bimini is a sunshade system that replaces rigid metal structures with a high-pressure inflatable frame.
Once inflated, the structure becomes rigid and stable, creating a shaded area on the bow of the boat.

The bimini is secured using straps, allowing fast installation and easy removal whenever needed.

Difference Between Inflatable and Traditional Biminis

Traditional biminis require drilling, metal frames and permanent fittings. Inflatable biminis eliminate these issues by offering a portable solution that adapts to different boats without modifications.

Advantages of Inflatable Biminis for Boats

No Drilling or Permanent Installations

Inflatable biminis protect your boat’s structure and aesthetics by avoiding holes, screws or fixed hardware.

Faster Setup and Easy Removal

Installation takes only a few minutes, making them ideal for day trips, charters or changing weather conditions.

Compact Storage Onboard

Once deflated, the bimini folds into a compact bag that fits easily in lockers or storage compartments.
