Is your family ready to hit the lake for some on-the- water fun, whether the goal is to enjoy a day trip, an overnight excursion, or a weekend getaway? The right boat accessory can make the difference between a fantastic time and sunburned, a bug has bitten, cranky kids plus overly anxious, tired, and cranky parents. The ELEMENT Prefab Instant Cabin can make springtime outings more fun in many ways, including:

1. Providing shade for center console boats.

One of the challenges of open bow boating is getting enough shade to avoid sunburn, sunstroke, and heat exhaustion on warmer days when there’s not a cloud in the sky. Water reflect the sun, multiplying its effects on the whole family. A custom bow dodger is incredibly expensive and must be special ordered, often taking weeks to arrive and be installed. Bimini tops are a permanent structure and provide shade only when the sun is directly above. The ELEMENT marine canopy provides the perfect solution for boat sun shade, giving you a tight fitting boat canopy that installs in seconds and works even better than many custom boat covers.

2. Keeping bugs away with a closable mesh screen.

Unlike Bimini boat tops and bow dodgers which often only offer overhead cover, The ELEMENT includes a mesh front which can be zipped closed to prevent bugs from getting in and munching on occupants. It’s like having your very own breathable boat tent on board.

3. Preventing important items or electronics from getting soaked.

If your kids need their library book or iPad along to provide a distraction while mom and dad fish or prepare a meal, The Element gives them a safe place to sit and you don’t have to worry about expensive devices falling victim to an unruly wave or the wake of a passing boat. The waterproof fabric deflects splashes and spray, providing extra protection. In a case of unexpected spring showers, the weather-tight The ELEMENT will keep you and your gear dry.

4. Increasing safety when small children are on board.

Infants and small children can be safely enclosed in The ELEMENT while playing or napping to reduce the risk of toppling overboard or getting into boat equipment. While you should never leave a child unattended or unmonitored, the Prefab Instant Cabin provides parents with a way to feel more secure especially during overnight trips – which can be difficult with just a standard boat cover or boat shade.

Make The ELEMENT the first item on your list for cool boat accessories this year, and enjoy the spring weather out on the water with your whole family all season long.
