Best Outdoor Ceiling Fan for Salt Air Locations - 2023

Matthews Donaire: The Donaire is the ultimate outdoor ceiling fan and actually survived hurricane Irma when other fans in the neighborhood were demolished (see picture to the right). As one of very few ceiling fans made of 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, it is made to better to withstand the cruelest punishment mother nature has to offer from wind, sun, rain, sleet, snow and most important, salt air. Although much more costly than the typical steel used in other fans, Marine Grade Stainless Steel is highly resistant to corrosion and is the same type of material used in high end barbecues as you see in the picture above. The Donaire comes with a remote control and built-in dimmable LED light kit and includes a bottom cap if you want a super clean look without the light. The Donaire comes in the stainless steel finish shown here, but is also available in bronze or white (still made of stainless steel).
