Who is the Dock and Boat Nameplate for, and what is personalized?

The Dock and Boat Nameplate is a made-to-order sign in the Harbor Plaque Co signature collection: slip numbers are checked against a master schedule.

What it isGive a berth and its boat a coordinated identity with a plaque designed around the marina's numbering system. This plaque combines a clear identifier with restrained nautical detail.Make the correct slip easier to find with a prominent dock or berth number. A coordinated set can follow the marina's existing numbering and wayfinding system.Welcome visitors with a marina sign that identifies the entrance and the next destination. The layout can pair the marina name with a short direction to reception.Put the boat's chosen name on a custom display plate. The design can serve a cabin, dockside display or another specified location with a clear nautical identity.
Why choose itDecide which information stays with the berth and which follows the boat. Keep replaceable vessel details separate from permanent slip identification, and specify the actual splash, sun and mounting exposure before choosing a finish.Check the identifier from both the pedestrian and water approach where relevant. Keep changing vessel names separate, and specify mounting clearances and exposure so the sign fits its intended dock location.Prioritize the name and arrival instruction at the expected viewing distance. Keep changing fees and operating details on a separate notice, and describe the sign's support and coastal or freshwater exposure when requesting materials.Describe the installation location and whether the piece is decorative or intended to satisfy a particular marking requirement. Provide any applicable specification separately; a nameplate design does not establish registration compliance.

Harbor Plaque Co planning guides

All buying guides
Berth numbers versus vessel nameplates

Give the berth a stable location identity and the vessel its approved personal name, then decide which physical pieces should change when occupancy changes.

Boat name plaque layout and lettering guide

A maker-side layout guide with character counts and letter-height planning, plus a plain summary of the federal name and hailing port marking rules for documented vessels cited to 46 CFR Part 67, stating clearly that a Harbor Plaque Co decorative plaque is not a substitute for required markings.

Counting double-sided marina direction signs

Count complete two-sided direction-sign assemblies for the order, then maintain a separate face schedule for wording and orientation approval.

Coordinate marina signs and vessel nameplates for delivery

Keep fixed berth identity separate from boat names and temporary marina information. Approve the location, reading direction and mounting for each sign, then group the order by dock or vessel. Recognition awards and commemorative pieces need their own presentation schedule.
