Reel Skipper Raya Sun Dress

A Skipper Original Built for the Water and Beyond
The Raya Sun Dress is a Reel Skipper original, designed from the ground up for women who spend serious time on the water. It bridges the gap between fashion and function: soft enough to wear all day, protective enough to stand in for sun gear when you need quick coverage on the boat, the paddleboard, or the beach.
The relaxed, flowy silhouette and rounded hemline give it versatility that most performance pieces lack. Throw it on over a swimsuit heading out, keep it on when you dock for lunch, wear it on a walk back from the surf. It moves with you rather than against you.
UPF 30+ Solar Protection
The Raya's microfiber construction delivers UPF 30+ solar protection, blocking a meaningful portion of both UVA and UVB radiation across the full coverage area of the garment. Full-length sleeves extend protection down the arms, a common exposure zone during water activities. This is sun protection you wear, not something you apply and reapply.
Performance Fabric That Stays Comfortable
The 94% polyester, 6% spandex microfiber blend is engineered specifically for active use in warm conditions.
- Moisture Wicking Technology pulls perspiration away from skin and moves it toward the fabric surface where it can evaporate, keeping you cooler and more comfortable during activity.
- Anti-Microbial Treatment inhibits odor-causing bacteria, so the garment stays fresh across long days and multi-session wear.
- Microfiber Construction produces an exceptionally soft hand feel while remaining lightweight and packable. It does not feel stiff or synthetic against skin.
- Spandex Content provides a degree of stretch and recovery that allows a relaxed fit to move with the body without bunching or twisting.
About Reel Skipper
Reel Skipper was founded out of a direct frustration: not enough performance water apparel was designed specifically for women. Since its inception, the brand has expanded well beyond fishing to serve all water performance activities, from casting lines off a paddleboard to cruising on the boat to a day at the beach. The Raya Sun Dress reflects that philosophy, a piece that performs when you need it and looks like it belongs everywhere else.

- What is UPF 30+ sun protection in a sun dress?
- UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 30+ means the fabric blocks a significant portion of both UVA and UVB solar radiation from reaching your skin. The Raya Sun Dress achieves this rating through its tightly woven microfiber polyester construction, providing full-coverage sun protection across arms and torso without sunscreen.
- Is the Raya Sun Dress good for water activities like boating and paddleboarding?
- Yes. The Raya Sun Dress is built for water activities. Its moisture wicking fabric pulls sweat away from skin during active use, the anti-microbial treatment resists odor across long days, and the UPF 30+ protection guards against sun exposure. The relaxed silhouette works equally well on the water or off.
- What is the Raya Sun Dress made of?
- The Raya Sun Dress is constructed from a 94% polyester, 6% spandex microfiber blend. The microfiber weave provides a soft, lightweight hand feel, while the spandex content adds stretch and shape retention. The fabric includes moisture wicking technology and an anti-microbial treatment.
- Can the Raya Sun Dress be worn as a cover-up?
- Yes. The Raya Sun Dress works as a sun cover-up over a swimsuit. Its relaxed, flowy silhouette and rounded hem give it the coverage of a cover-up with built-in UPF 30+ performance fabric, so you get actual sun protection rather than just coverage.
- How do I care for the Reel Skipper Raya Sun Dress?
- Refer to the care label on the garment for specific washing instructions. As a general guideline for performance microfiber garments, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softener (which can degrade moisture wicking properties), and tumble dry low or hang dry.
