Permanently pleated, accordion-fold shades for your sailboat
The perfect easy-to-install, privacy solution for your sailboat Get a QuoteMade in the USA
Ship Shades opened over 30 years ago in Marblehead, MA and after 15 years in the northeast, we headed south to warmer climes. We now custom make your shades to your specifications at our facility in Alabama, under the watchful eye of Marcia Darnell.
We pride ourselves on customer service, so don’t get nervous about the “to your specifications” part.
All you have to do is measure your port and we will do the rest. It’s pretty straightforward and we’re only a phone call away to help….even during the measuring process.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
-Mark Twain

We’ve been making our shades for over three decades and many of our original shades are still in service.
Over the years we have improved our construction and adopted new fabrics as better materials come on the market. We produce the most affordable quality window covering for your boat today.
