We’ve Got You Covered: Customer Experience with TACO Shade Products

When it comes to quality family time on the water, TACO’s line of shade products simply cannot be beat. 

Recently, avid boater and fisherman Geoff P., who owns an Everglades 273 CC Bay Boat, sent us photos of his TACO shade setup, which includes a ShadeFin® and four Carbon Fiber Tele-Sun Shade Poles supporting his canvas bow shade.

In addition to TACO’s shade products, Geoff’s Everglades 273 CC Bay Boat is also equipped with a pair of Grand Slam 390 Outrigger Mounts and 20’ Carbon Fiber Tele-Outrigger Poles. Photo courtesy / Geoff P.

When asked how TACO shade products improved his time on the water with his family, Geoff said, “[they] allow for more shade and longer days on the boat both fishing and hanging at the beaches and sandbars.”

Spending more time on the water doing what you love with family and friends is what TACO’s line of shade products is all about.

ShadeFin can easily be setup in any standard rod holder on boat tops or from the gunnel with an adapter – the latter being a frequent choice for Geoff, a father to two young children who love to play in the water. ShadeFin’s fabric, which has a 5’ X 6’ footprint, provides an excellent UPF 50+ rating of sun protection while boating and fishing, or when relaxing at the dock and sand bar.

At the bow, Geoff regularly sets up four Carbon Fiber Tele-Sun Shade Poles with his custom canvas shade.

Made from strong, lightweight, and flexible Carbon Fiber, these poles are easy to install and stow – maximizing time and fun onboard. Simply insert the poles into your boat’s rod holders, secure a sun-protecting fabric to the boat top, attach the fabric connector to the poles and extend the poles into position. The Carbon Fiber Tele-Sun Shade Poles can be mounted to the front or rear of your boat, depending on your preference, and telescope from just over 52.89" to 80.4" tall.

Thank you, Geoff, for sharing your experience with and photos of your TACO shade setup!
