Boat Lettering & Marine Vinyl — New York Marinas

Marine Vinyl Lettering for New York Boaters

Registration numbers, boat names and hailing ports cut from 3M Scotchcal 7725 marine cast vinyl — salt and UV rated. Cut to your state's legal format in our Washington shop and shipped free to anywhere in New York, ready to apply. One nationwide price sheet — a boater in Montauk pays what a boater in Spokane pays.

What we cut for boats

Registration numbers — both sides of the bow, laid out to New York's legal format, with the validation decal spacing marked for you.
Boat names and hailing ports — script, decorative and multi-colour layouts, which New York permits on names (but not on registration numbers).
Specialty films — 22kt gold, chrome and metallic, reflective hi-vis for charter and commercial vessels.
Hull stripes and transom sets — quoted from your photos and measurements.

Live pricing is on the builders below — pick your options and it prices itself, no quote request and no waiting. Installation is Spokane, Spokane Valley and North Idaho only; everywhere else, including New York, ships ready-to-apply with instructions and free shipping.

New York Legal — Registration Numbers (verified June 2026)

Plain vertical BLOCK letters (no script/italic), at least 3" tall, one solid color contrasting sharply with the hull (legible 100 ft daylight), both sides of the bow, left to right, with a space or hyphen between groups (e.g., NY 1234 AB). Validation decal in line with, and 3" toward the stern of, the number — both sides. Boat names and hailing ports CAN use script and decorative fonts.
