Wear a wide brimmed hat. Kayaks are not supposed to have roofs over them and sails are for speed, not shade. Anything that sticks above the kayak like that would be hazardous, interfering with tracking and paddling and making the boat more apt to capsize. Just not safe.
Get a cabin cruiser, pedal boat or a sampan instead of a kayak if you think you need a roof.
Be cautious where you use your inflatable. Unless it is a high-quality boat (costing $1000 or more) and you have some kayaking lessons from a qualified instructor, it will not be safe to take in the ocean or any large body of water or fast flowing river. Cheap inflatable boats are more like toys and should only be used in shallow ponds and small streams. Be sure you know the safety drills for paddling and that you always wear a life vest (PFD.)Do they make sunshade/umbrella for inflatable kayaks?
Wow! What do you think will happen if you turn your boat over? Kayakers use dark glasses and hats with a wide brim. Wear long sleeved shirts and trousers. Too much sun can cause problems. Don't try to paddle without getting some instructions. Kayaking is a dangerous sport!
