Inflatable Bimini & Shade Systems for Yachts in the Gulf

The Gulf's summer heat makes shade one of the most-used pieces of equipment on any boat, not a luxury. Yacht IQ is the exclusive UAE distributor for DeckTent, a fully inflatable bimini and shade system built for fast, tool-free setup on RIBs, motorboats and sailboats from under 5 metres up to superyacht tenders.

Why inflatable bimini systems work in the Gulf

Unlike framed biminis, an inflatable shade system has no rigid poles to corrode, bend or catch wind load — it sets up and stows in minutes, and scales from a compact RIB to a full-size platform. In UAE conditions, where deck temperatures and UV exposure are extreme for much of the year, that combination of speed and durability is what keeps a shade system in daily use rather than left in a locker.

The DeckTent range

DeckTent's inflatable biminis run from the compact XXS (small RIBs and motorboats) through to size L for larger boats, alongside inflatable SUP platforms and docking platforms built on the same inflatable-system principle. Browse the full DeckTent collection →
