Yacht Branding: Stand Out From the Fleet With a Strong Brand Identity

Custom-designed logos and branding are added to the side of boats using a graphically printed vinyl wrap. This thin, self-adhesive film is stretched over the hull of a vessel to elevate its look and give it a whole new look and feel.

Whether you have recently purchased a yacht and would like to change its name and branding or have a new boat that requires an identity, the Team at Tinting Chicago can help. Our expert graphic designers have experience in developing distinctive identities for small and large boats.

The durability of yacht branding

  • Quality of installation
  • How vinyl is taken care of

Frequently Asked Questions

Should vinyl wrap on yachts go beneath the waterline?

It's best to only place a vinyl wrap above the waterline on a boat. When placed below the waterline, exposure to seawater and freshwater vinyl can cause the film to lift and peel off.

Does vinyl film offer protection to the paintwork on yachts?

Yes, a vinyl wrap can protect expensive marine paintwork on yachts by basically acting as a second skin. Sometimes the vinyl film incurs damage while the paintwork beneath remains untouched.

Is the removal of boat branding a big project?

It's relatively quick and easy to remove yacht branding, although the exact duration depends on the size of the vessel. Heat guns are often used to apply heat to targeted areas of vinyl to help lift them and remove them in one piece.
