A bimini having a collapsible frame and a top is disclosed. The collapsible frame, which has a first support and a second support that is pivotable relative to the first support about a pivot axis, is movable between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration. The top, which has a first top portion that defines a cavity and a second top portion that is flexible, extends between the first and second supports. In the extended configuration of the collapsible frame, the top is taut between the first and second supports, and in the collapsed configuration of the collapsible frame, the second top portion is selectively at least partially stored in the cavity defined by the first top portion. A watercraft having the bimini is also disclosed.

An apparatus (100), including: a support assembly (200), the support assembly including: a lower endcap (240), an upper endcap (252), a strut (242), a lower pivot joint (244) between the lower endcap and a lower end (248) of the strut, and an upper pivot joint (254) between the upper endcap and an upper end of the strut (246). The support assembly is configured to selectively move an upper structure (400) relative to a motor vehicle (500) between an upper position via rotation at each pivot joint which increases a distance (270) between respective endcap centroids (272, 274), and a lower position via rotation in an opposite direction at each pivot joint which decreases the distance (276) between the respective endcap centroids.

This hard top boat cover is designed for panels to fit the bow, middle, and stern section of different width and length size boats of similar design through using a “mix and match” system. This means that each section will have more than one panel that can be chosen from for a proper fit. The result is a hard-shell boat cover that can be created for different width and length boats solving the problem of having just one size cover that fits one size boat. The cover's overlap design allows it to fit several boats without interference from gunnel attachments or interior boat obstructions. The cover's design works with an adjustable bracket brace that holds the panel covers up over the boat while being held down by straps that connect it to the boat trailer. The bracket brace design can be placed on a range of gunnel widths and at locations on the gunnel that adjust to the width of the beam of the boat for a snug fit without scarring the gunnel.

A platform assembly configured to be coupled to a tower of a sea vessel. The platform assembly includes a platform, a series of brackets configured to be coupled to the platform, and a series of clamps configured to be coupled to the series of brackets. The series of clamps are configured to detachably couple the platform assembly to the tower of the sea vessel.

A collapsible fin shade apparatus for a boat.

An example system for attaching accessories to a boat or a marine environment includes a first leg frame member, a second leg frame member, an attachment device, a first flexible support member, and a second flexible support member. Each of the first leg frame member and the second leg frame member has a base member, an intermediate member, and a top member. The intermediate member is attachable to the base member and the top member is attachable to the intermediate member. The attachment device is mountable to the first leg frame member and the second leg frame member. The first flexible support member is attachable to one of the first leg frame member and the attachment device. The second flexible support member is attachable to one of the second leg frame member and the attachment device.

An apparatus (100), including: a lower structure (122) configured to be a top of a lower area (102) of a marine vessel (130); and an upper structure (120) configured to be raised and lowered relative to the lower structure. When the apparatus is in a stowed configuration the lower structure and the upper structure combine to form an integrated top (124) for the lower area. When the apparatus is in a raised configuration the apparatus creates an occupant station (400) in which the lower structure is the top of the lower area and also a floor for an occupant station and the upper structure acts as a top for the occupant station.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a multi-modal marine craft cover (MMMCC). In an illustrative example, the MMMCC may, for example, include arms rotatably coupled to a cover at one end and to a watercraft at an opposite end. The MMMCC may, for example, be operable between at least a cover mode and a stowage mode. In the cover mode, the arms may, for example, extend upward by at least 90 degrees, from a longitudinal axis of the watercraft, to support the cover over a cockpit. In the stowage mode, for example, the arms may be rotated forward and a fore end of the cover coupled to the bow such that the cover is coupled to and disposed over the watercraft from a fore end of the cockpit to the bow. Various embodiments may advantageously provide selective protection of users during operation, and the watercraft such as during travel.

A solar boat with an adjustable angle of a solar panel of the present disclosure comprises: a cabin unit; a boat body provided below the cabin unit and including a first fixing unit and a second fixing unit; a solar panel unit provided above the cabin unit and configured to convert solar energy into electrical energy; a first pole provided with a first connector at an upper end thereof and connected to a front left bottom of the solar panel unit via the first connector, and provided with a second connector at a lower end thereof and connected to the boat body via the second connector; a second pole provided with a third connector at an upper end thereof and connected to a front right bottom of the solar panel unit via the third connector, and provided with a fourth connector at a lower portion thereof and connected to the boat body via the fourth connector; a third pole provided with a fifth connector at an upper end thereof and connected to a rear left bottom of the solar panel unit via the fifth connector, provided with a sixth connector at a lower portion thereof and connected to the boat body via the sixth connector, and provided with a seventh connector below the sixth connector and connected to an upper end of a first adjustment unit via the seventh connector; a fourth pole provided with an eighth connector at an upper end thereof and connected to a rear right bottom of the solar panel unit via the eighth connector, provided with a ninth connector at a lower portion thereof and connected to the boat body via the ninth connector, and provided with a tenth connector below the ninth connector and connected to an upper end of a second adjustment unit via the tenth connector; the first adjustment unit connected to the seventh connector at an upper end thereof, provided with an eleventh connector at a lower end thereof and connected to the first fixing unit via the eleventh connector, and being adjustable in its length; and the second adjustment unit connected to the tenth connector at an upper end thereof, provided with a twelfth connector at a lower end thereof and connected to the second fixing unit via the twelfth connector, and being adjustable in its length, and has the effects that can perform efficient solar power generation according to the surrounding environment or the direction of sunlight by enabling the angle adjustment of the solar panels installed on the roof of the solar boat, and that can reduce the volume of the solar boat when anchored, and can resolve the problem of taking up a lot of space by the fixed solar panels when anchored by enabling the angle adjustment of the solar panels installed on the roof of the solar boat and the storag
