Silver Leaf Boat Name: Pearl, a Fleming at Burr Yacht Sales

This silver leaf boat name belongs to Pearl, a Fleming yacht we lettered at Burr Yacht Sales in Edgewater, Maryland. We laid the name in burnished silver leaf in a beautiful brush script, and we set her hailing port, Venice, Florida, in classic capitals below. In the photo, our founder, Brendon J. Brandon, stands behind the finished name.

A brush script silver leaf boat name

A brush script font gives a boat name movement, as if a painter wrote it in one sweep of the brush. As a result, the silver letters on Pearl’s white transom catch the light from every angle. In addition, the dark outline keeps the name easy to read from the dock.

Designing your silver leaf boat name

Every boat name starts with a drawing. First, we lay out your name and hailing port to scale and help you choose a font that suits your boat. Next, we send you a mock photo that shows the name on your own transom, so you can see it before we install anything. If your boat still carries an old name, we can also remove it and compound the hull, so the new lettering goes onto a clean, glossy surface.

Why burnished silver leaf

Burnished silver leaf has a softer shine than mirror silver, which gives a boat name a classic, understated look. Its cool tone also suits white hulls, stainless rails and modern yachts, because gold can feel too warm on them. We apply silver leaf with the same traditional gilding methods we use for gold. For a brighter finish, see our palladium leaf quarterboard for Katalyst.
