There are a couple of things that help.

Shade is life. A tarp over the boom can reduce cabin temps 20 degrees
or more.

A wash down pump can be used to spray water on the hull and decks to cool them.
That's necessary even when the AC is being used or the boat will never shake off
the noon day sun.

Thanks. Hadn't seen that trick before. Or forgot.

But the real way is you simply acclimate to the heat.

That's what I've found. And it happens pretty quick for me.
Found out for sure when my car A/C broke down there once.
A new schedule avoiding the high sun got us right in 2 days.
Found we cranked the A/C in our suite up to 85 when we came in,
to keep from getting cold.
