About Us
We started as a boat lettering company!
Our company was founded in 1981 by an avid boater, who was also a creative artist with a great talent for combining art and signage for boats. Driven by a love for boating, he first began carving customized wood signs for yachts in Long Island, New York. As a leader in the industry, Gulfstream Gear was the first sign company to create vinyl signs for boaters.
Gulfstream Gear has become known in the boating industry as the premier place for printed and embroidered boating apparel. Additionally, Gulfstream Gear designs and cuts, lettering and graphics for: stickers, automobiles, trucks, store windows and many promotional items.
Design Services - Boat Lettering
Gulfstream Gear was the first company to make custom designed vinyl boat lettering and full color logos. We only use high performance, marine grade vinyl that is guaranteed to not crack, peel, or fade for 7 years. (Many “sign” companies use 2-year vinyl which is shiny, tears easily, and made very thin).
For many of us our boats are our passion and our dreams. Let us work with you to develop a lettering that will draw attention to your boat. Now that you have found Gulfstream Gear for your boat lettering, we welcome you and your boat name ideas to visit us today.
Custom Decorated Nautical Gear
At Gulfstream Gear we are recognized as the leaders of custom embroidered and printed nautical apparel for the marine industry. Our artists are able to reproduce the image of your boat from a photo or replicate the artwork created for your boat lettering.
If we have made your beautiful boat decals, we can then use the same artwork for decorating your nautical gear. Our main online catalog offers the best quality apparel (hats, visors, shirts, jackets, towels, totes, infant wear, etc).
