Gold Leaf Finishes for Boat Names

We offer three gold leaf finishes for boat names, hand-carved name boards, and matching life rings. The yacht name in the photo below is engine turn gold leaf with a black outline. Designs & Signs works from Edgewater, Maryland, and we use teak and mahogany for our name boards. In addition, you can take your boat name up a notch with matching life rings.

Engine Turn, Florentine, and Burnished Finishes

We use gold leaf film and silver leaf film, and each has a professional-looking finish. All of our films come in engine turn, florentine swirl, or burnished, so you can choose whatever style suits you best. Florentine provides creative flair. Engine turn is traditional, and it sparkles with reflective patterns in the sun. Burnished is our most conservative film, and it looks good in every situation. As a result, these gold leaf finishes work on nearly any boat.

What to Send for a Quote

If you need a price for boat lettering, please send us as much information as you can. What is the new name, and what is the hailing port? Do you have photos of the boat? Where is the boat located, and is it in or out of the water? Finally, do you have any color preferences? We offer all Avery premium cast vinyl colors for outlines and shadows.
