If you are looking for a way to enhance your vessel’s appearance, look no further! Boat graphics are a great way to give your boat an upgraded and customized look. Whether you own a fishing boat, small skiff, or a large sport fisher, you can design graphics to help your vessel stand out and maybe even promote your business.
What Are Boat Graphics?
Boat graphics are a form of vinyl adhesive that can be customized to be a decal, lettering, whole boat wrap, or logo. They are designed to withstand UV exposure, saltwater, wind, and other elements of coastal environments. High-quality graphics will maintain their appearance for years to come and require minimal maintenance. Some common boat graphics we create are boat names, boat lettering, custom boat logos, full boat wraps, and partial boat wraps.
Why Boat Graphics Are Worth The Investment
Boosts Your Boat’s Appearance
Boat graphics are a great way to transform the appearance of your boat. Custom-designed graphics for your boat allow you to add your personal touch to your ride on the water.
Some popular graphics include:
- Boat names
- Registration number
- Custom logos and branding
- Full-color wraps and graphics
- Location-based graphics
Want to personalize your boat by adding its name to the hull or adding the logo of your business? Give us a call! Our team of designers can help bring your vision to life.
Promote Your Business on the Water
If you run a fishing charter, eco tour, or have a sightseeing tour vessel, a boat graphic is a necessary tool you need for your boat. Custom boat graphics can include:
- Your business’s logo
- Branded colors, business name, and slogan
- Business website and phone number
Have a business that does not require a boat? We can create custom boat decals for any business! Use your boat as a floating billboard with our custom graphics and decals.
Easy to Maintain
One of the most underrated benefits of boat graphics is that they are easy to maintain. Our vinyl graphics are designed to be low-maintenance and durable for the coastal North Carolina weather. You can clean vinyl boat graphics with basic soap and water, with no need to wax or polish.
Durable and Designed for NC Coastal Conditions
Having materials that can withstand saltwater and direct sunlight is important when living on the coast. Our graphics, wraps, and lettering are made from high-quality, marine-grade vinyl. Our boat decals and lettering are meant to last against the sun, salt, winds, and humidity we have in Coastal NC.
Easy to Update, Replace, or Remove
Another benefit of using vinyl lettering and graphics on your boat is their ease of removal, update, and replacement. Unlike paint, you can simply peel off your vinyl lettering and choose a new style. Whether you are renaming your boat, rebranding your business, or just ready for a new look, graphics are an easy and cost-effective way to customize your boat. Unlike paint, which is permanent, boat graphics give you control and flexibility.
Designing Boat Graphics That Stand Out
Start The Process With a Theme
Before making any decisions about your new boat graphic, try to identify what you want the theme to be. For example, many clients name their boat after their favorite football team. Is your boat mainly used for fishing? A funny name relating to fishing may be a great fit. Is the boat used for chartering clients? A clean, sharp logo is necessary. Identifying this early on will help make the decision process easier.
Select a Location
Now that we have selected your theme, we must identify the perfect place to put the graphics for the most visibility. One of the most popular locations for boat graphics is on the sides of the hull. It is big, visible, and more than ideal for vinyl. You can also put smaller graphics on coolers, storage boxes, interior walls/dashboards, and on the console. Placement is just as important as design.
Choose Your Design
After the theme and location of the graphic is determined, it is time to create the perfect design. Fonts, colors, and patterns matter. Choose something that can stand out and be seen from a distance. On darker hulls, bright designs stand out. Colors like navy and black look best on white hulls. Making sure your colors contrast is the key to making sure it is not overlooked.
Installation
If you are installing the graphic yourself, make sure that you clean the surface thoroughly, measure and mark where you are going to place the graphic, and apply it slowly and evenly. It is best to let a professional handle this part to ensure precision. When you design a graphic with Southern Sign Company, we will do all of the hard work for you.
