EXCUSIVE Bimini Top with 4 arches and 30 mm diameter stainless steel frame
Due to its dimensions, this sunshade canopy is suitable for installation on the side of all large boats and yachts. This version is particularly sturdy thanks to its combination of 30 mm diameter stainless steel frame and stainless steel connectors. This robust design allows for trouble-free cruising with the canopy open at speeds of up to 30 knots .
With longer lengths ranging from 300 to 400 cm (upon request), this model provides significantly more shade than the Royal Bimini Top model with 3 arches and even more than the one with 4 arches.
Even in the standard version, this model features zippers integrated beneath the roof struts to ensure easy removal, cleaning, and waterproofing of the canopy.
For particularly wide models, Velcro strips are also attached underneath the Bimini top to keep the canopy perfectly taut.
Design of the bimini top frame
The frame is a collapsible structure (Ø 30 mm) made of highly polished stainless steel (AISI 316). The bimini features 4 reinforcement arches. For easier handling, storage, or transport, the canopy can also be disassembled.
Material of the sun canopy
The canopy is made from high-quality, 100% resin-coated SUNBRELLA® PLUS acrylic fabric ( 360 g/m²). It features an anti-fungal coating, making it mold-resistant and easy to maintain. Thanks to the resin-based coating, the canopy is waterproof and UV-resistant. The fabric complies with ISO 4920 and is available in 16 different colors . This solution-dyed acrylic fabric features piqué effects and color accents to perfectly match your boat.
Bimini fittings and mounting hardware
The fittings are made of stainless steel (AISI 316) with a high-gloss polish. All screws are made of AISI 316 stainless steel or aluminum.
Maximum speed
The maximum recommended speed when sailing with this bimini model, when fully extended, is 30 knots.
Dimensions of the sun canopy
The sun canopy is available in heights (C) of115 cm or 140 cm:
The height (D) of the canopy when folded is 170 cm for the 115 cm height and 190 cm for the 140 cm height.
The length (B) of the canopy is 320 cm, but can be custom-made up to 400 cm upon request.

When folded, the bimini top has the following dimensions: The width you selected x 40 cm (depth) x 8 cm (height).
Scope of delivery for the Bimini top
- A protective cover (matching the selected canopy color) with a zipper

Manufacturer information:
The starting point
The first measurement to take is the width between the right centre gunwale to the left centre one of the boat or, in case of an inflatable boat, the width between the right centre tubular to the centre left one.
From this size it can be evaluated which model of Bimini Top can be installed.
Thanks to the elasticity of its frame, the Bimini has an installation tolerance.
So, when the width of the boat is different from a standard one, is it possible to install a lower installation width from the real one.
However to grant a correct installation and optimal performance, we reccomend that the difference between widths is no more than 5%. On the contrary, we do not recommend to install a Bimini that has an installation width greater than the real width measured.
Example: A Bimini with an installation width of 200cm can be installed for real widths ranging from 200 to 210cm. But not for less than 200cm
Which height should be choosen?
The Bimini Tops are produced in height 95cm, 115cm and 140cm.
- A 95cm high Bimini Top is suitable for installations on boats with very high gunwales or for fastboats where it is not possible to stand up.
- A 115cm high Bimini Top is suitable for installation on guard rails or on boats with a minimum height of 80cm.
- For installation on gunwales of about 60cm. an height of 140cm is generally recommended
What is the difference between 2, 3 or 4 arches?
The transverse tube of the Bimini Top that crosses the boat in the direction of width is defined as an "arch". A greater number of arches are reflected in a greater strength of the frame and in a better tension of the covering fabric. Also higher speeds while having the Bimini Top unfolded are possible.
An important element to consider is the choice of the fabric
The following two fabrics are available:
- Resin-coated polyester is used on Bimini Tops with light frames, like on the models ELEGANCE, ELEGANCE PLUS and CHIC with Ø 20/25mm Aluminium tube or the models SPORT and SPORT PLUS with Ø20mm stainless steel tubes.
- Resin-coated acrylic is employed on Bimini-Tops with stronger frames like on the models ROYAL, ROYAL XL, LOOK UP, PRESTIGE and EXCLUSIVE with Ø 22/25/30mm stainless steel frame.
The frame is made of tubes and the diameter of these ones influences the overall strength of the Bimini Top.
The available diameters are 20/22/25/30mm:
- The aluminium or stainless steel frames with a diameter of 20mm are handy and light and suitable for small boats
- Whereas those with a diameter 22/25 or 30mm are recommended for larger boats. Whole stainless steel frames are very strong and of great aesthetic impact.
Another element to consider is the material of the jaw slides.
Nylon jaw slides are applied on light Bimini Tops with reduced dimensions, whereas stainless steel ones are applied to larger structures.
Deck hinges are elements that allow installing the Bimini Top in different ways. On the floor, on the guard rail, on sliding rails or on the tubulars of inflatable boats. Deck hinges can be chosen according to the various aesthetic and functional requirements, for any boat, both in nylon or stainless steel.
