Boat signs – Metal wall signs for water sports enthusiasts and naval heroes

Whether you prefer sailing on the open sea, floating through the Dutch lakes, or simply love all things boat-related, our boat signs bring that maritime vibe indoors (or to your cabin). Sturdy metal, bold prints, and a touch of nostalgia: perfect for the wall of your boat, boathouse, or beach spot. From sailing ships to lighthouses, from sailor humor to nautical sayings, you'll find signs here that perfectly match your boating heart.

Why a boat sign on the wall?

A boat sign is more than just decoration. It evokes something. Freedom. Peace. Wind in your hair. Or perhaps that pleasant bustle on board on a sunny day. For many people, the water is a second home – and a sign like this brings that feeling to places where you're not (temporarily) sailing.

In addition, a metal sign with a nautical theme instantly creates ambiance. Whether it hangs above the sofa, in the cabin, by the outdoor kitchen, or in the bathroom of your beach house, it adds character. And: it shows who you are. A skipper. An enthusiast. Someone who always yearns for the water.

Vintage style and weathered look

Many plates are vintage-style , with light scratches, discoloration, and a weathered edge—as if they've spent years at sea. That weathered look adds character and is perfect for a boat, shed, or beach house. It's as if you've brought them home from an old port town.

Perfect for cabin, canopy or boathouse

Buying a boat sign – what should you pay attention to?

Buying a boat sign is easy, but it's useful to consider a few practical points before choosing your favorite design.

Size, material and mounting

Most signs are made of sturdy metal, with a protective coating and a razor-sharp print. The standard size is 20x30 cm, but some are also available in 30x40 cm. Their light weight makes them easy to hang with a hook, nail, or double-sided tape. Some models have pre-drilled holes, while others have a flat finish.

Indoor use and protection against moisture

Our boat signs are designed for indoor use or sheltered locations such as a covered area, boathouse, or cabin. They can withstand some moisture, but are not suitable for hanging completely outdoors in the rain or direct sunlight. For long-lasting color retention and print quality, a dry environment is best – just as you would store your tarpaulin properly.

Frequently asked questions about boat signs

Can these plates withstand water or salt?

Our boat signs are made of metal with a protective lacquer finish, so they can easily withstand a little moisture or condensation – as you might expect in a cabin or boathouse. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to rain, seawater, or salt spray. For a long lifespan, it's best to hang them in a dry, sheltered location.

Are there also signs with boat names or coordinates?

This collection features ready-made designs. So, you can't have your own boat name or coordinates printed as standard. Want something truly personal? Then check out our personalized signs category , where you can submit your own design.

How do I safely hang the sign on a boat?

Their light weight makes them easy to hang, even in a moving environment like a boat. Use small screws or double-sided mounting tape. Be careful not to place the sign in locations where it will be continuously wet or exposed to direct sunlight, especially while sailing.

Are there also maritime signs in larger sizes?

Yes, some designs are also available in 30x40 cm. These larger signs are ideal for a spacious hallway, boathouse, or beach house. Check the size in the product description, or filter by size in the category if you're looking for something larger.

How quickly will I receive my order?

Almost all boat signs are available for immediate delivery from stock. Order on a business day, and your package will usually ship within 24 hours. You'll automatically receive a track & trace code as soon as your sign is on its way – so you can practically cast off.
