Boat Names
Beautiful Boat Names, Quarterboards & Life Rings
We design and install custom boat names of every sort, using premium Avery cast vinyl. Gold leaf film (22 karat) and silver leaf film are also available in engine turn, Florentine, burnished, and brushed finishes. Matching custom life rings and hand-carved teak quarterboards with gold leaf complete the look. For wooden powerboats and yachts, we also gild by hand in the traditional way. Our shop serves boat owners throughout the Annapolis and Edgewater area.
First, we send a quote. Next, once we receive your deposit, we send several fonts to choose from. Then we prepare a final drawing, and often a mock photo, before installation. Name removal and hull compounding are also available. Questions? Contact us for a quote.
