Modern boats have more and more space to live on board, especially in the outdoor areas, but to experience it in a truly comfortable way requires proper accessories. Opac ‘s customizable, Made in Italy shade systems are a perfect example of how you can add comfort in a functional way to your boat without sacrificing design.

Opac focuses everything on customization and creates tailor-made solutions to meet customers’ specific needs, combining advanced technologies with craftsmanship.
The latest news presented at the Mets
At Mets, the Amsterdam accessories show, Opac unveiled Rolling Sun Awning, a new arm awning designed to be a design element, and not just an effective protection from the sun; in fact, it can also be equipped (upon request) with an LED light along its front profile, perfect for evening illumination. Made of high-quality materials and marine-resistant mechanisms, the new awning protects from the sun’s rays without compromising the view and without affecting the livability of the outdoor space. Rolling Sun Awning is moved by an electric mechanism that allows the opening to be adjusted as desired, and once closed it disappears along with the arms inside the profile, very elegant and designed to integrate with the design of modern boats. Again to integrate best with your boat, the fabric of this awning is available in a wide range of colors. Also new from the brand is a blackout system made of teak slats, with a structural core of anodized aluminum, which rotate on their own axis in order to both shade and allow good air circulation in the area below. Also for those who want a simpler and less “final” installation, there is something new. These are the new carbon poles, customizable in length and decomposable upon request, for shade cloths. Installation can be done either by classic insertion into the cups or flush, perfect for flush decks.
