Boat Name Lettering Canada

What you get

Your vessel is registered. The paperwork is done. The one thing left standing between you and the water is compliant transom lettering — and that's exactly where we come in. Our boat name lettering is designed to the published Transport Canada specification for registered and licensed vessels, with character sizing, colour contrast, layout, and port-of-registry guidance handled for you. No regulatory research. No hunting through the Small Vessel Regulations. Just cut-ready, marine-grade vinyl that ships to your door built to look the part and meet the standard.

• Lettering built to the published Transport Canada spec for character height, colour contrast, and placement
• Port-of-registry guidance included — we help you identify the correct entry for your vessel type and province
• Free digital proof before anything is cut — approve every character, size, and layout before production begins
• Manufacturer-rated marine-grade vinyl: premium cast vinyl, manufacturer-rated up to 5–7 years for UV, salt spray, and pressure-wash resistance
• Cut in Ontario and shipped Canada-wide, ready to apply straight from the package

How it works

The process is effortless. Tell us your vessel name, registration number, and home port during checkout. Our team reviews your order against the published Transport Canada requirements and builds a free digital proof — you see exactly how your lettering will look before a single cut is made. Approve it, and we cut your characters on marine-grade vinyl right here in Ontario and ship the complete, ready-to-apply set directly to your door. Application instructions are included so the install is as straightforward as the rest of the experience. Done for you, start to finish.

Why it works

Transport Canada's Small Vessel Regulations set out specific requirements for vessel name lettering: character height, legibility, contrast, and the correct display of your port of registry. Getting any one of those details wrong is the kind of thing that draws unwanted attention on the water. Every set of lettering we produce is designed to those published specifications, individually proofed, and cut from marine vinyl that's built to take whatever a Canadian season delivers — freeze-thaw cycles, salt water, UV exposure, and the end-of-season pressure wash. Made in Canada, for Canadian conditions, by people who already know the spec so you don't have to.

• Designed to the published Transport Canada spec — not a generic template adapted after the fact
• Manufacturer-rated for UV fade, salt spray, and repeated pressure washing: our premium cast vinyl is manufacturer-rated for durability of up to 5-7 years
• Proof approval means every detail is confirmed before we cut — no surprises on delivery
• Formulated for Canadian winters: vinyl built to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and ice contact
