Custom Boat Names

Make Your Boat’s Name Uniquely Yours. A boat name is personal — it might represent your family, your lifestyle, a favorite memory, or simply the feeling you get out on the water. Your lettering should be just as personal.

Choose from a wide selection of fonts, colors and lettering effects, including traditional marine lettering, script and cursive styles, bold contemporary lettering, outlines and drop shadows, metallic-style effects, multi-color designs, custom logos and matching hailing ports.

Boat Name Decals

Our boat name decals provide a professional way to add your vessel’s name without the expense and permanence of painted lettering. Each design is custom produced according to your selected size, font and colors.

Vinyl boat name decals are an excellent choice for powerboats, sailboats, fishing boats, pontoon boats, center consoles, cruisers, personal watercraft and yachts. Your lettering arrives prepared for installation so you can apply it yourself or have it installed professionally.

Boat Registration Numbers

Registration numbers don’t have to look like an afterthought. Create custom boat registration numbers that provide the required visibility while complementing the appearance of your vessel.

Choose the font, size and color combination that works with your hull and preview your registration lettering before ordering. Always verify the applicable registration-number requirements for the state in which your vessel is registered.

Custom Boat Graphics & Decals

Sometimes a boat name needs more than words. We can incorporate custom boat graphics, logos and decorative elements into your design to create a completely personalized appearance.

Already have a logo? Send us your artwork and we’ll evaluate it for reproduction. Have an idea but no finished artwork? Tell us what you’re looking for and our design team can help develop a graphic that works with your boat name and vessel.

Over 40 Years of Boat Lettering Experience

Boat Lettering Outlet is a family business with more than 40 years of experience serving boaters — and we’re boaters ourselves. We understand the difference between designing graphics for an ordinary sign and creating lettering that has to look right on the hull or transom of a boat.

Our experience helps customers make better decisions about lettering size, font selection, color combinations, placement, visibility, graphics and installation — whether you’re lettering your first boat or replacing the name on a yacht you’ve owned for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long will vinyl last?

The vinyl last 10 years or more.

Is the vinyl difficult to install?

The vinyl is very easy to install if you follow the lettering installation guide.

How do you remove an old vinyl sign?

To remove an old vinyl sign take a hair dryer or heat gun and heat one letter at a time and peel off.  For any glue residue that is left use glue begone or similar product.

How to I remove a painted sign?

To remove a painted sign take some oven cleaner and apply and let stand for a half hour then scrap off with a plastic scraper and repeat if necessary.

Can I send my own graphics?

Yes, but send it as an editable PDF file.

Can you create a custom graphic?

Yes, we can, we have an artist on staff.

Do you install vinyl lettering and signs?

Yes we do in a 50 mile radius of our locations in Saugatuck MI and Naples FL.

Do you remove old vinyl signs?

Yes but at an hourly rate.  Contact us for more information.

When I remove an old vinyl sign will it leave a shadow?

If it has been there for many years it will leave a shadow that can only be removed by wet sanding.

What Type of Vinyl Should Be Used?

High-quality exterior marine vinyl. It’s routinely exposed to sunlight, moisture and weather, so material selection matters — contact us if you need help selecting the right one.

How Do I Choose the Right Size?

Measure the available installation area rather than estimating from the overall length of your boat, and leave enough space around the lettering so it doesn’t look crowded.

What Color is Easiest to See?

Contrast matters most — dark lettering shows up well on light hulls, and lighter colors work better on dark surfaces. Outlines and shadows can also help separate lettering from a busy background.

Can You Use My Existing Logo?

In many cases, yes. Send us the best-quality artwork you have and we’ll determine whether it can be reproduced as vinyl lettering or graphics.

Do You Make Boat Registration Numbers?

Yes, using our online design system. Just be sure your finished design complies with the registration requirements for your vessel.

Can You Help Me Choose a Font?

Absolutely. Font selection can dramatically change the look of a boat name — send us a photo of your boat and tell us the style you’re going for.
