Yacht Signs

Combining Craftsmanship and Innovation in Yacht Signage

Custom Yacht Signs, Constructed to High Standards

For 20 years, Lumenautica has crafted premium signs for yachts and superyachts. We use 316 stainless steel, acrylic, and PVD to create embossed logo shapes and lettering. Many of our custom yacht signs are installed with LEDs or fibre-optic cables to illuminate the lettering at night.

Shipwrights and designers choose from our wide range of custom options, with complete freedom on lettering styles, finishes and illumination.

Yacht Lettering Styles

High-standard finishes and marine-grade materials: choose depth, layers, and finishes from gloss or matte acrylic, mirror-shine polished steel, PVD coating, painted steel detail and more. Choose any font, in custom colours and non-standard sizes are available.

LED Yacht Names

Cost-effective illuminated lettering: put logos and yacht names in lights with LED yacht signs that last over 40,000hrs. LED systems offer low-powered, bright lighting to highlight the yacht sign at night.

Fibre-Optic Yacht Names

A unique, homogenous glow behind lettering: Fibre-optic lighting does not carry power to the letter site, making it perfect for yacht signs mounted near the water line. Coloured lights and colour cycles are available.

Custom from Concept to Completion: Manufacturing Techniques

As experienced yacht sign manufacturers, we are happy to share our methods openly. We understand that ship-builders and yacht designers value the best techniques and materials.

Design Stage

We work closely with shipbuilders and yacht designers to create a unique, viable yacht sign concept that will shine. Once we’ve completed the design we plot all fixing locations and wire entry points before manufacturing.

Machining

316 stainless steel is hand-selected, minimising pitting and providing a superior finish. Profile cutting is CNC controlled, using either laser or water-jet cutting to create each letter and shape. The method depends on the thickness.

Cutting and Polishing

Letters up to 10mm thick are immediately mirror-polished using high-grade mops and finishing compounds for a superior finish.
We then use CNC milling to finish the letters to their final size, including bevels, chamfering or radial fronts. Larger letters are milled before polishing.

Surface Finishing

A secondary finish on your yacht sign may include powder coating, wet painting, or hard PVD plating to gold, black or bronze.

Illumination

We bond the finished yacht sign to the acrylic backing of the same shape, which houses either LEDs or fibre-optic cables.

Fitting Yacht Signs

Once manufactured, our team can travel to any shipyard or dock worldwide to fit your custom yacht sign at your request.
