Do you create custom boat names, registration numbers, and vinyl graphics?

Yes — we design and install custom boat names, CF numbers, vinyl lettering, hull decals, and full marine graphics tailored to your boat’s style and size.

Can you come to my slip to install the lettering?

Yes. We install lettering at your slip or dock anywhere from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach, usually without a haul-out, or at our San Pedro shop. Each visit to your boat has a one-way trip fee by distance ($30 in San Pedro up to $110 in Newport Beach); there is no trip fee at the shop.

What material do you use for marine lettering?

We use premium marine-grade vinyl, UV-resistant and saltwater-safe, designed to handle sun exposure, abrasion, and harsh coastal conditions.

Can you match the style of my previous boat name or create something custom?

Yes — we can recreate existing designs or develop a completely custom graphic, font, color theme, or logo based on your vision.

Do you remove old decals and prepare the surface before applying new graphics?

Yes — we handle everything: old vinyl removal, adhesive cleanup, polishing, surface prep, and precise installation of your new lettering or graphics.

How long does marine vinyl lettering last in Southern California sun?

It depends on the film, the color and how much sun the boat gets; dark colors and surfaces facing the sun fade first. Good marine-grade cast vinyl lasts for years in Southern California, and the film maker's outdoor rating is the best guide.

Can you create reflective, chrome, gold leaf, or illuminated lettering?

Yes — we offer reflective vinyl, chrome finishes, 24k gold-leaf style lettering, backlit LED boat name panels, and fully custom illuminated graphics.

Our Marine Graphic Solutions

We provide a full range of vinyl customization options tailored to your specific hull type and aesthetic preferences.

Custom Boat Names

Make it official with a custom-designed boat name. We offer hundreds of fonts, from classic serifs to modern scripts, ensuring your stern looks elegant and professional.

Registration Numbers (CF Numbers)

Ensure you are legal on the water with US Coast Guard and state-compliant boat registration numbers. We use high-visibility fonts that meet all spacing and size regulations.

Hailing Port Decals

Complete your boat’s stern with a hailing port decal that complements your boat's name in color and style.

Striping & Cosmetic Refits

Is your factory boot stripe peeling or faded? We remove old vinyl and install crisp, new striping for a clean, fresh look.

Why Choose Our Vinyl Installation?

Marine-Grade Materials

We use high-performance cast vinyl films (such as 3M and Avery Dennison) made for long outdoor life. These materials are designed to resist shrinking, cracking, and fading in harsh marine environments.

Professional Design & Mockups

Don't guess how it will look. We provide digital mockups of your boat name and graphics on your specific hull color, so you can approve the design before we print it.

Custom Boat Decals and Hull Graphics: What to Prepare

Good boat graphics start with accurate information. Before we design custom boat decals, custom hull graphics or new marine boat lettering, we need your boat name and hailing port exactly as you want them to appear, your registration number, and the hull color where the vinyl will be applied.

It also helps to send photos of the stern and hull sides, measurements of the space available, and details of any existing striping or old vinyl that needs to be removed first. If you have a font, color or style in mind, share an example; otherwise we can show options in a digital mockup on your specific hull color. The vinyl boat graphics we install use marine-grade cast vinyl designed to withstand saltwater, UV rays and high speeds.

Questions about boat lettering

What types of boats can get custom marine lettering graphics?

Most boats can, from small runabouts to large yachts: sailboats, powerboats and fishing boats. We measure the space on your hull and size the lettering to fit it.

How long do your vinyl graphics last on the boat?

The marine-grade vinyl we use is designed to withstand sunlight, saltwater, and extreme temperatures. How long it lasts depends on the film, its color and how much sun it gets; with proper care, lettering and graphics can stay vibrant for many years.
