Alizé St. Martin 9ft Market Umbrella with Built-In Fans

The Alizé St. Martin is a 9 ft market umbrella with built-in fans, designed for those who want premium outdoor comfort without compromising on design. Inspired by the refined simplicity of the modern yachts found in Simpson Bay, St. Martin, the St. Martin model brings a clean, contemporary nautical aesthetic to any outdoor space — paired with integrated active cooling that standard umbrellas cannot match.

This is the umbrella for upscale alfresco dining, poolside lounging, marina-side hospitality settings, and any premium residential or commercial space where the visual language matters as much as the performance.

Shade That Actually Cools

Beneath the 9 ft canopy, two patented built-in fans generate over 2,000 CFM of combined airflow — circulating fresh air across the entire seating area directly below. The fans use brushless DC motors: quiet enough that they disappear into the background of a conversation, efficient enough to run all day, and reliable enough to perform season after season without degradation.

As we explain in our post on why patio umbrellas don't actually keep you cool, shade alone addresses only one of the two physical mechanisms that determine how comfortable you feel outdoors. Convective cooling — moving air across the skin — is what actually makes the perceived temperature drop. The St. Martin delivers both, in one system, with nothing extra required.

The Design

The polished aluminum frame reflects the clean lines and premium finish of contemporary marine design. There are no unnecessary details — just precise proportions, a refined profile, and the kind of quiet confidence that characterizes well-engineered products in any category. It works equally well as the centerpiece of a high-end residential patio and as the signature shade element of a boutique hotel terrace.

The SDP fabric canopy provides excellent UV protection and fade resistance, holding its color and structural integrity through extended outdoor exposure. The combination of polished frame and premium canopy fabric gives the St. Martin a visual quality that holds up in both lifestyle photography and in person — important for hospitality settings where the outdoor space is part of the brand.

Built for Coastal and Resort Environments

The St. Martin is engineered for the conditions that premium outdoor settings actually face — salt air, high humidity, intense UV, and daily use by guests who expect everything to work without thinking about it. All wiring uses sealed outdoor-rated connectors. The frame is corrosion-resistant. The canopy fabric is weather-resistant. The fans are rated for continuous outdoor operation.

This is not a residential umbrella stretched into commercial use. It is engineered from the start for the environments where it will be deployed.

Comparing the Alizé Range

The St. Martin sits between the Antigua and Barbados in the Alizé lineup. If you are choosing between them:

• Antigua 10ft — the warmest, most residential aesthetic with the largest canopy and wood-grain finish
• St. Martin 9ft — the most refined design with a polished contemporary finish, ideal for upscale hospitality
• Barbados 7.5ft — the commercial powerhouse with four fans and a square canopy optimized for dense dining layouts
