undecked

Lacking a platform

Undecked describes a boat or vessel without a deck—an open hull exposed to the elements.

Small fishing boats, canoes, and dinghies are typically undecked.

The term also applies to anything not adorned or decorated: The undecked halls suggested nobody was in the holiday spirit.
