We don’t offer an online font or logo generator as we see it as very restrictive to limit you to seven or eight choices of fonts. Not only that, the likelihood of another yacht having the same style name as yours would be very likely. If you do not have a font already but are looking for options, we recommend visiting websites such as My Font and 1001 Fonts.
Once you have a few font choices in mind, please let us know as we have access to the same library of fonts. Or we can offer a design service whereby we offer a selection of font designs to you for approval.
Lead times can differ dramatically from project to project, we are most asked for a transom or stern name only. For a typical seven letter stern name of approximately 250mm high, we would suggest allowing a three week lead time. For a typical port and starboard yacht sign we would usually say around a four week lead time.
If the order is for a typical port, starboard and transom illuminated lettering together, we would allow a four to six weeks lead time.Delivery dates are calculated from the date we receive the order deposit. However, If you have a specific deadline to meet for delivery, please get in touch and we will endeavour to meet any schedules which you may have.
The most efficient way to pay for your yacht sign is through online banking with a BACS transfer, all our details will be provided within the quotation. We can also take credit card payments subject to a 5% administration fee.

Yes, you can. For such instances, we recommend our fibre optic LED hybrid system. Linear light emitting fibre optics are installed within the letters which route back to a super bright IP67 LED light source housed within the garage door/beach club. The absence of any electrics, working parts or heat present within the letters makes our fibre optic LED hybrid solution the most suited to ‘dip door’ scenarios.
All the materials used within our illuminated yacht lettering are of the highest quality marine grade. All of our stainless steel/inox is marine grade 316L. All stainless-steel surfaces including the edges of letters are mirror polished, as standard, to eliminate oxidisation. All our plastics and acrylics are UV stable.
