The U.S. recreational boating industry, highlighted at the Palm Beach Boat Show 2025, continues to evolve, driven by rising consumer demand, modern tech integrations, and a shift toward luxury on‑the‑water experiences. As buyers seek more comfort and control at sea, innovative marine accessories like retractable hardtops are redefining what’s possible on today’s flybridge yachts.
The Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS), held March 19–23, welcomed tens of thousands of marine professionals, boaters, and enthusiasts to South Florida’s iconic waterfront for one of the most anticipated events in the U.S. recreational boating calendar.
With over 11 million registered boats and growing demand for on-the-water experiences, boating continues to be one of America’s most beloved pastimes. As a cornerstone of the industry, PBIBS sets the stage for innovation, luxury, and game-changing product launches. This year, one product in particular stole the spotlight: TOMA-TOP.
A Showstopper from the Start
Among the many innovations on display at the Palm Beach Boat Show 2025, TOMA‑TOP, a retractable hardtop windshield system developed in Japan, turned heads and sparked conversations.
Visitors to the booth had a near-universal reaction: “Wow, that’s cool!”
It’s easy to see why. TOMA-TOP is the first of its kind in the U.S.—a sleek, functional marine windshield system designed to elevate both the aesthetic and practical experience aboard flybridge yachts.
Purpose-built for yachts and boats ranging from 28 to 50 feet, TOMA-TOP delivers elegance, comfort, and protection in one seamless package.
Its intuitive, retractable windshield design offers a quick transformation—perfect for shifting weather or changing preferences. Whether you need added shade or a more open-air feel, TOMA-TOP adjusts effortlessly, blending form and function with modern marine demands.
Why Retractable Windshields Matter
Retractable windshield systems aren’t just about looks—they improve onboard comfort, visibility, and all-year round protection. Whether you’re cruising in unpredictable weather or anchoring under a hot midday sun, the ability to quickly raise or lower your flybridge enclosure makes a world of difference in your onboard experience. Toma-Top now brings this marine windshield innovation to you.
