Pontoon Bimini Tops with Flare for Style

As I was browsing the internet looking at different bimini tops it occurred to me that they really all look pretty similar. The difference between most of them has a lot to do with price. Price can be influenced by many different variables. The biggest probably being where it was manufactured. Find a bimini top for under 200.00 with a frame? You can bet it was probably made in China. That is just the way it goes. There are also the “cookie cutter” bimini tops and frames out there as well. Nothing wrong with that. There is a place in the market for those type of bimini tops and frames too. Quality of the raw materials, work force, even location go into pricing out these very similar looking tops. No doubt some are better than others. No doubt about it, you typically get what you pay for. But what if you want something different? Something that will set your boat off from everyone else? The bimini top is very often the first thing people notice about your boat when you are out on the water. I for one like to be the guy on the water that has something different than everyone else. I like being approached by fellow boaters about my boat and my bimini top. I’ve got a bimini top unlike any other on the lake I’m on. The frame is curved. Not curved side to side – everyone’s does that. No my main bow, front bow, and braces are curved. They “lean back” as my son puts it. We did it for a reason – it looks pretty cool on the boat. It attracts attention. It is different than any other bimini top I’ve seen. There are a couple of boat builders out there doing it now too. It is catching on. I haven’t seen any in the aftermarket yet though – except for mine. My Northstar Bimini Top with a curved frame. It turns heads wherever I go. Won’t cost you an arm and a leg either.

Who Makes the Best Boat Top?

Working in this industry I see a lot of sites and blogs that like to compare products and spotlight different products. While most are worth reading it is rare to find any comparisons on what allows us to stay on the water in the hot blistering sun - the bimini top. Without the bimini top keeping us out of the sun, our time on the water will be cut short due to blistering sun burns, dehydration, and perhaps death. OK maybe not death, at least not right away.

Boat builders they are the first to say they need to offer bimini tops with their boats, but they end up putting the cheapest thing on it they can find just to say they offer it. Not all of them do it but a significant amount do. Boat manufacturers pour money into research and development to offer new amenities and new ways to make their boat look good and be comfortable on the inside. Guess what? No one can see the inside of your boat from across the lake. What they can see is you put a shabby looking top that is worth about 150.00 on a 50,000.00 pontoon boat. If you are willing to do that most won't believe you are willing to put a lot of money anywhere else on your boat.

As a consumer you continue to scan the horizon looking for something better. Without a doubt the bimini top is the first thing most see out on the water on any given day. Poorly made bimini tops tend to lead people to believe the boat may not be all that well made either. A well built bimini top will compliment the boat which in turn will cause people to search you out on the water to compliment you, your boat, and your bimini top. They may even ask where you got it. Chances are you didn't buy it with the boat - chances are you bought it from us.

We take exceptional pride in our work, our workforce, and ulitmately our products. Regardless of whether it is our bimini tops, or our grill covers, we take the extra steps to ensure your satisfaction with your purchase. I wish I had a nickel for every time a customer has recommended us to a friend or family member. Even better I wish I had a dime for every recommended customer that has told me they saw our bimini top on a boat on the lake and asked that boat owner where they got such a great looking top. Then I tell them how reasonable the prices are -- mind blown. Yup add up all those dimes and nickles and I'd be writing this from a cabana in Key West.

Bimini tops - make it a double!

Boating, especially pontoon boating is nothing like it was 15 years ago.  I look around at what so many manufacturers are doing and am amazed at some of the ideas.  Wakeboard towers, LED lighting, snap in carpet, unique floor plans, and the list goes on and on.

I'm a simple man though.  I like simple things.  For me as long as I'm on the water, it matters very little if I have a backward facing seat, or chaise lounge, or LED lighting.  No, it doesn't really matter at all.  What does matter to me is being comfortable on that 8' wide 22' long floating oasis.  I don't need to feel like I'm sitting in a lazy boy chair, I just need some shade from that hot ball in the sky.  As long as I have a cold beer and some shade I'm one happy guy.  Put a fishing pole in my hand and now I'm about as close to heaven on earth as I can get.

I can tell you from experience no one is going to remember how comfortable your pontoon boat furniture is, if you have satellite radio, or if your LED lights work if they are miserable on your boat because they couldn't get out of the sun.  Congratulations, you made your guests feel like a bratwurst on a grill.  They won't soon forget how miserable they were.  

If you had a double Bimini on your vessel your guests would have walked away happy, happy, happy.  If you had a double Bimini top made by Northstar Products not only would your guests walk away happy, you'd be happy, happy, happy too because of the number of heads that would turn when others see how amazing your boat looks.  Let's be honest, we all like getting attention on the water.  Not many boaters will know if your boat has snap in carpet or has the newest furniture but they will most definitely notice that beautiful double Bimini top and hear the good times coming from your guests because they are comfortable in the shade.

A piece of advice...if you don't have a double Bimini top, get one.  Even if you have to scrap the top you have now.  Do it.  It is a small price to pay for the comfort of your guests.  I mean it really is a small price.  We have really low prices on double Bimini tops.  Chances are we have one for you.  Check us out.
