What sun protection
for your boat ?
But not all protective covers are right for the same boats, or for the same uses.
At Nvequipment, the T-TOP SPORTLINE and Biminitop are the must-have sun protection products. Here’s how to choose the one that best suits your boat and your sailing programme.
The powder-coated
Alu T-TOP SPORTLINE
This product is designed for open hull and semi-rigid powerboats fitted with a center console.
Its aluminum structure fits over the console protecting the pilot and passengers at the helm.
Which boats for which uses?
This sun awning is designed for active boatowners: fishing, water sports, leisure outings at sea. It offers targeted protection above the console, without obstructing the rest of the cockpit or hindering manoeuvres. Its aluminum frame gives it a sporty, dynamic look that blends naturally with the line of open-hull boats.

- 4 standard sizes to fit a wide range of models
- 4 colours to choose from: beige, quartz, blue tweed, black

THE BIMINITOP
This sun protection system can be fitted to both sailboats and motorboats.
Unlike the T-TOP SPORTLINE, it has been specifically designed for each model of boat, guaranteeing a perfect fit and stylish integration into the boat’s overall appearance.
Which boats for which uses?
The Biminitop is designed for boatowners who want to make the most of the space in the cockpit: meals on the water, relaxing at anchor, family sailing. Its large shaded area covers the entire cockpit, protecting all passengers, including the skipper. It’s ideal protection for breaks and moments of conviviality on board, whether on a long cruise or a simple day trip.
Benefits
- Developed specifically for each boat model
- Large shaded cockpit area
- Easily folds and unfolds as required
- Wide choice of colours from the NV colour chart
- For all types of sail and motorboat
Modular equipment for everyday use :
The Biminitop folds easily onto the rear supports, allowing it to be used depending on the sea conditions and desires: deployed for long hours at sea, folded down for upwind sailing or enjoying a fresh breeze. Flexibility that’s appreciable on every outing.
