Do you have a new (or new to you) sailboat that needs a name installed? – or old name changed? Well maybe I can help you do just that. I offer a one stop service for design, expert removal of old lettering, hull preparation, fabrication and installation of custom marine grade vinyl graphic films. I am equipped for in-water installations with my floating work platform so there is no need for shipyard haul outs. Besides names and hailing ports, I also install vinyl boot stripes and cove striping. In some cases, even striping can be installed with the boat in the water at your location. Below is a gallery with some examples of sailboat names that I have designed and installed in the Tampa Bay Area . When you’re done browsing, go to my Boat Name Information Page for prices and scheduling.
The Signmobile, is equipped to create and and prepare vinyl at your boat's location. This allows me to do final measurements onsite before cutting your boat lettering.

There's no substitute for patience and having the right tools when removing old vinyl lettering. Very old lettering can become brittle and very challenging to remove. My removal technique has been honed over the years and we will strip the vinyl and adhesive from your hull without damaging the gelcoat. Painted boat names can be removed with wet sanding and polishing. In some cases, a solvent may also be used.
