Yes. It keeps the sun from beating down on the glass and warming up the interior, as well as keeping curious eyes from looking in while walking by on the dock.

Since windows appear to be closed, I am guessing more for shade because a boat like that would have window coverings/curtains inside. If the windows were open on a nice day for breeze and the curtains pulled back, could be for privacy too.

Since it's a trawler (probably a CHB 34), they must have blow-boater blood in them.

So it makes sense...

Maybe they just did some varnishing and they wanted to keep the wet varnish out of the sun...

My guess is that the sunlight was washing out the display of their Plasma HD TV, or LCD notebook computer.
