Caps are stitched, not printed. Your boat is drawn from your photo, then digitised into a stitch file and embroidered into the crown, which is why a hat still looks right after a season of salt, sweat and being sat on in the cockpit.
Classic Dad Cap — $30.00. Custom boat hat: an unstructured low-profile dad cap (Yupoong 6245CM chino twill) with your boat name printed or embroidered on the crown. Adjustable strap, broken-in from day one.
Structured Marina Cap — $36.00. Structured mid-profile custom boat cap with a firm front panel that holds its shape, embroidered boat name hat with a closed back and premium curved visor.
Heritage Rope Cap — $38.00. Rope hat with your boat name embroidered on the crown, the classic golf-and-gulf rope cap silhouette (Richardson 258) boaters and captains collect.
Harbor Bucket Hat — $38.00. Custom embroidered bucket hat in 100% cotton twill, the sandbar-day sun hat with your boat name stitched front and center.
Surf Camper Cap — $42.00. Five-panel nylon surf camper cap with a clip closure and custom boat embroidery, the packable, water-friendly deckhand cap.
Watch Beanie — $32.00. Embroidered knit watch cap, the cuffed wool-feel beanie (Yupoong 1501KC) with your boat name stitched on the cuff. Cold-front mornings, covered.
Embroidery, not a printed patch stuck on
A print on a cap sits on the surface and eventually cracks along the fold. Thread does not. Every hull line becomes a stitch path, so the artwork wears in with the hat rather than peeling off it.
Which crown suits which day
An unstructured dad hat sits low and soft, the one that lives in the truck. A structured cap holds its shape and gives the embroidery a flatter field to sit on, which suits busier hulls. A rope hat reads classic on the water. A bucket hat covers ears and neck when the sun is the problem, and a watch beanie handles the cold end of the season.
What a boat looks like at stitch size
Fine detail has a floor. Rigging wire, radar arches and small lettering can fall below a readable stitch density on a cap front, so we simplify to the lines that actually identify her rather than shrinking everything until it turns into a smudge. You approve that version before a needle moves.
Matching the rest of the crew
The same approved drawing goes on shirts, coozies and towels, so hats bought later still match gear bought first. Crew orders run 10% off through your own store link.
Start with a photo
One good side-on shot is all it takes. You see the artwork before you pay, revisions are free, and every order is checked again before it prints.
The artwork is included in the price of whatever you order, from an $8 sticker to a $95 helm mat. There is no setup fee and no art charge. Comparable studios charge $100 to $200 for the artwork alone before you buy anything to put it on.
How long does it take to see my boat as artwork?
About a minute. You upload one photograph and the drawing comes back in the same session, before you pay. Most custom boat shops email a proof in three to seven business days.
Do I have to pay before I see the design?
No. You see the finished artwork and approve it before you spend anything. Revisions are free until it looks like her, and nothing is printed until you say so.
What photo do you need?
One good side-on shot of the boat, from a phone or a photo library. The whole hull in frame, taken in even light rather than hard glare, is all it takes.
How long does delivery take?
Most gear ships in three to seven business days and arrives in five to nine, made to order in the USA and shipped with tracking. Free standard US shipping over $75.
What if it arrives wrong?
We remake it or refund it in full, your choice, if it arrives damaged, misprinted, or not what you approved.
Can a whole crew order matching gear?
Yes. Approving a design creates a crew store at a shareable link, and everyone ordering through it gets 10% off every item with no code and no minimum. One approved drawing stays the same drawing across every piece and every order.
