. . is it better than having a bimini top on the boat?
As you may have figured out by now, the key to enjoying a boat with the family in the hot south Florida sun is SHADE!
The only thing better than a bimini top is a bimini + a sun top, basically an aft mounted bimini that attaches to the forward top. The aft top is not often used underway, as it's too much "sail area" to adequately support if it's windy. Here are some examples:

The preceding 2 photos are over 30 years old, when we were using navy tops, which attach to top of windshield. Next photo is recent, showing current bimini and sun tops.
