Personalized Life Rings for Your Boat

Are you ready to set sail, but you just realized that you don’t have any lifesavers on board? We can not only provide quality lifesavers, but we also take pride in crafting Coast Guard-approved personalized life rings. In addition, each ring receives lettering to match your ship’s name.

We create our personalized lifesavers in standard sizes. First, life preserver rings typically come in 24 or 30 inches. Our 24-inch personalized life preserver can also have gold leaf letters in 23 karat gold leaf film. Gold leaf lettering looks excellent with a dark outline and shadow. As a result, the lettering gains contrast against the white background.

We ship your personalized life rings anywhere!

As soon as you approve the final drawing, we order the materials and letter your life preserver ring. From start to finish, the process is quick, so we can get your ring back to you with efficiency.

Facts about the lifebuoy

A lifebuoy goes by many names: ring buoy, life ring, lifesaver, life donut, life preserver, or lifebelt. People also call it a “Kisby ring” or “Perry buoy.” However, the name “Kisby ring,” or sometimes “Kisbie ring,” probably honors Thomas Kisbee (1792–1877), a British naval officer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you use Coast Guard-approved life rings?

Yes, every life preserver we letter is a Coast Guard-approved model. Also, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life preservers must sit in easily visible and accessible places on the boat, with lines attached. However, the number of life rings and their location vary with the size of the vessel. For that reason, please read the instructions on the official websites carefully.

What sizes are life preserver rings available in?

Life preserver rings normally come in two standard sizes, 24 or 30 inches. However, we usually offer the 24-inch size.

How long does it take to produce personalized life rings?

Turnaround is usually 3-5 business days. In addition, the process is speedy and efficient.

How do you throw a life preserver ring to a swimmer?

First, make sure all the lines are tied on before you throw the life ring. Then throw the life preserver ring past the person in the water, and hold on to the line so you can pull them in. As you pull, lean away from them for better balance. That way, you can make the save without hitting the victim with the ring.
