Yacht & Marine Window Treatments
We work in the yachting capital of the world. Custom shades, blackout stateroom systems and curtains, templated on board, sewn in our own Fort Lauderdale workroom, and motorized without touching shore power.
A vessel is the hardest room we know, and the kind we like
Nothing on a boat is square. Saloon glass rakes, stateroom windows curve with the hull, and every treatment lives in sun, salt and motion. That rewards the way we already work ashore: template each opening individually, sew in our own workroom to the millimeter, and motorize with hardware sized to the opening rather than forced onto it.
Fort Lauderdale is our home port. We template dockside across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach marinas, fabricate in-house while your other trades finish, and return to fit, program and hand over.
For the cabin, the saloon and the aft deck
Stateroom blackout
Blackout fabrics, linings and edge details engineered together so the cabin sleeps at anchor on a bright morning - the same blackout engineering behind our residential suites, shaped to marine openings.
Saloon and pilothouse shades
Performance screens tame glare and heat on raked glass without erasing the horizon. Fabrics from Serge Ferrari, Phifer and Mermet are engineered for UV, humidity and mildew resistance.
Custom curtains and soft goods
Five in-house seamstresses sew curtains, sheers and cushions to the vessel's fabric schedule - decorative faces with linings chosen for the marine environment, finished to pillow-height inspection.
Motorization off the grid
Rechargeable battery motors run months between charges; low-voltage 12-volt systems tie into the vessel's DC where the refit allows. Controls run from a single remote to per-cabin scenes.
Templated on board
We measure and template dockside, port by port, and fit on our return visit. Curved, angled and tapered openings are our normal work, not an exception - see the curved facade at Trump Tower III.
Refit-friendly scheduling
Templating early keeps window treatments off the refit's critical path. Fabrication runs in our workroom while crews finish on board, and installation is a clean, short visit before the season starts.
The workroom behind the waterfront's windows
The team that motorizes oceanfront estates and branded residences across South Florida is the team that steps aboard: certified on Lutron, Crestron and Somfy, fabricating everything in-house, and answerable to owners who notice everything. If the home and the boat should match, they can - one fabric schedule, one workroom, one standard.
Start with the Fort Lauderdale oceanfront estate, the hospitality and branded-residence work, or the full case-study list, then bring us the vessel.
Frequently asked
Do you make window treatments for boats and yachts?
Yes. We template on board at marinas across Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Palm Beach, fabricate in our own Fort Lauderdale workroom, and return to fit and program. Ports, raked windshields, angled saloon glass and curved staterooms are templated individually - the same discipline we apply to curved oceanfront facades ashore.
Which fabrics survive salt air and sun?
We work from suppliers whose ranges are engineered for exactly that environment: Serge Ferrari composite fabrics and Phifer and Mermet performance screens built to resist UV, humidity and mildew, plus blackout and decorative linings chosen for the marine cabin. Every schedule is specified to the vessel and how it is used.
Can the shades be motorized without shore power?
Yes. Rechargeable battery motors run months between charges and need no wiring; low-voltage 12-volt motorization ties into the vessel's DC system where the refit allows. We size motors to each opening and program controls per cabin, from a simple remote to scene control.
Can you make a stateroom truly dark?
That is the request that brings most owners to us. Blackout fabrics, side and sill details, and linings are engineered together so a stateroom sleeps at anchor on a bright morning - the same blackout engineering behind our residential case studies.
When is the best time to do this?
Alongside any refit, or in the quiet weeks before the fall boat-show season and the winter charter calendar. Templating early keeps the treatment out of the critical path; fabrication happens in our workroom while other trades finish on board.
Do you also do the owner's home?
Often. The same team behind this service motorizes oceanfront residences across South Florida - see the 12,000 sq ft Fort Lauderdale estate and our project case studies. One workroom, one standard, ashore and afloat.
Before the next season, not during it
A dockside templating visit costs nothing and takes the treatments off your refit's critical path.
