Hand-Painted Boat Lettering: Personalize Your Boat

Hand-Painted Boat Lettering for Wooden Boats

Hand-painted boat lettering for wooden boats

We make beautiful hand-painted boat lettering. Your wooden boat needs a perfect name, something that reflects your personality or is of importance to you alone! Our painted lettering will bring your vessel to life. This wooden boat looks sharp with a new hand-painted name.

How we paint your boat name

First, we send you fonts to review. Then, when you choose a font, we create drawings with measurements and color choices. Currently, Travis Brandon designs all of our boat names and signage. We adjust the drawing with you until it feels right, so you know exactly how the name will look before we begin.

Hand painting lets us match the style of the letters to your boat’s lines and age. Next, we create a pattern to place your name exactly on the transom. Finally, Brendon Brandon paints the lettering by hand and adds the shadow, an elegant finishing touch!

Caring for your painted boat name

The final step, which we don’t do, is to finish your transom with more varnish. A fresh coat of marine varnish over the lettering helps your name last for many years. Every so often, sand the transom and varnish it again. If the varnish fails, the lettering below may peel off the boat. With regular maintenance, you can avoid any long-term damage to your new painted boat name.
