THE MISSION

Stainless Steel Yachts provides fast, low maintenance vessels in Super and Hyper Duplex Stainless Steel. With our revolutionary lightweight design, innovative engineering and patented construction methods, Stainless Steel Yachts sets a new standard for excellence in marine vessels. We are passionate in our conviction to make the future lighter, stronger, faster and more sustainable.

SSY’s founder Håkan Rosén has always had a keen interest in the life at sea. He started sailing at an early age and has owned a number of recreational boats throughout his life. He has a passion for wooden boats - although wood now has competition from Sandvik’s steel.

Håkan and his family left hectic Stockholm, Sweden, in 2011, in favor of the quality of life in Gävle, Sweden. It was around this time he heard about Sandvik’s new stainless steel, which is extremely resistant to corrosion.

“It should be possible to build boats from this material,” he thought, as he examined a sailing yacht in stainless steel, but realized it would be too heavy. Inspired by the Vikings, Håkan started to explore how the Vikings managed to sail the seas in wooden longships over a thousand years ago.

This sparked the idea of incorporating the Viking’s flexible hull construction into the structure of a steel boat. This began the development of the flexible longitudinal and now patented stringers, which together with Sandvik’s steel, made it possible to build an extremely lightweight boat entirely from stainless steel.

In January 2014, Stainless Steel Yachts moved to Gävle’s old shipyard region, where we began to build the first vessel in stainless steel. At this time, a supplier was contracted to manufacture the interior modules for the prototype vessel. This was an exciting time, as Håkan’s vision finally came to life.

Stainless Steel Yachts continued to expand the horizons in 2019, when part of operations moved to Newport Beach, California. This was an exciting step, as Stainless Steel continues to grow globally.

Behind Stainless Steel Yachts is a team of specialists who further developed Håkan’s original concept. The team has the vision of continuing to develop environmentally friendly marine vessels in stainless steel, with superior characteristics compared with current fiberglass and aluminum vessels.

This $12 million 'mansion yacht' is made entirely of stainless steel — and it's a first for the industry. Take a peek inside.

• A floating, mansion-like yacht was shown at the 60th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October.
• It's being touted as the world's first yacht to be made entirely out of stainless steel .
• A spokesperson for the company told FOX Business that "a few billionaires " had expressed interest in the vessel.
• The asking price for the base 9,000-square-foot model is $12 million.

A vessel named Mansion Yacht was shown at the 60th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October, and people have been buzzing about it ever since. According to FOX Business, the yacht is the first ever to be made entirely from stainless steel. 

"It does a whole bunch of other things that a normal yacht doesn't do, so it doesn't replace an ocean-going yacht, but it definitely is a great addition to the yacht family," Bruno Edwards of Mansion Yachts told FOX Business. 

Edwards told Business Insider in November that the company's base 9,000-square-foot model has an asking price of $12 million. And apparently, "a few billionaires " had already expressed interest at the time.

"This will be the first one that we sell," Edwards told FOX Business in November. "We've already had a lot of interest, so we are waiting on our first contract."

In the meantime, scroll down to learn more and to look inside the stunning Mansion Yacht.

It's also relatively eco-conscious, with 72 solar panels capable of producing 15 kilowatts of electricity.

However, despite its name, the Mansion Yacht is not technically a yacht.

"It does a whole bunch of other things that a normal yacht doesn't do, so it doesn't replace an ocean-going yacht," Bruno Edwards from Mansion Yachts told FOX Business. "But it definitely is a great addition to the yacht family." 

Edwards told Business Insider that the base model of the vessel has an asking price of $12 million.

Edwards also noted that the Mansion Yacht's stainless steel will keep the maintenance costs low. 

"It is actually 25% of the maintenance cost of a fiberglass boat," Edwards told FOX Business.

The views, at least, are pretty priceless.

Unique 316L stainless steel tube railings for beautiful boat design

Pulpits, pushpits and biminis: expert marine rail fabrication for luxury yachts and motorboats

Modern boat railings must withstand the uncompromising ocean environment, but they also have to look good. That’s why leading marine specifiers and architects have used our shaped stainless steel tubing in their designs for over three decades.

Our shaped steel tubes are durable and attractive in equal measure. From stunning staircases on superyachts to grab rails on speedboats, our shaped tubes and boat railings are second to none. They offer the marine industry aesthetic, structural and ergonomic advantages over standard round tubing and add the perfect finishing touch to any cutting-edge vessel.

Maximum resistance to corrosion

We make most of our exterior tubing for boat railings from stainless steel 316L (1.4404), which contains a higher nickel and molybdenum content for more corrosive resistance (we can work with duplex and superduplex stainless steel if required). We can also form from aluminium if required.

Luxury tenders and ribs

Timeless fabricate handrails and grab rails for some of the industry’s most prestigious and most discerning tender designers. The build quality and finish of all onboard features needs to exude the same level of luxury as those on super yachts. As with all our marine architecture, the ergonomics of the boat railings is paramount — especially as these boat railings serve an important role in keeping passengers safe and comfortable. We typically shape grab rails from our oval tubing and radius square tubing — hands fit comfortably and securely around these shapes (and unlike round tube, hands are not prone to the same degree of slippage). Robust yet refined, the boat railings are designed so that they are sturdy but with a slim projection so that they do not protrude too much. We fabricate bespoke boat railings for the front of the navigator’s seat, on the gunwales and to ease boarding and disembarking. We can also create boarding ladders. Please talk to us about our bending and finishing boat railing services.

Popular tubing for marine use

‍ Oval tubes are our most popular tubing for marine use and are predominantly used for onboard boat railings such as pulpit rails, guard rails, grab rails and transom gates. We form this elliptical tubing in more sizes than any other tube supplier worldwide, giving naval architects, boat manufacturers and owners a wide choice regarding railing specification.  Our flat-sided oval tubing is favoured for its sleek lines. Flat oval tubes make for stunning pushpit rails at the aft of any yacht or motorboat. Flat-sided oval tubes made from aluminium can be good grab rails on racing boats or when used to make lightweight bimini frames. Oval tubing and flat-sided oval tubing add luxury to any vessel - it looks sophisticated and feels better to grip than round tube railings. Our twisted oval tube makes for stunning spindles on internal staircases. The attractive contours catch the ocean light beautifully, and add an extra touch of class and elegance. For all our oval and flat-sided tubing, Timeless offers a bespoke tube bending service. We can create compound curves (curves that require two bends), sweeping curves, or tight radius bends. Speak to us about the radius that we can achieve, as well as our other fabrication services .

Customisation made easy

Whether it’s a refit, refurbishment, prototype or brand-new boat, our uniquely shaped tubing is a simple way to offer your clients greater choice with their yacht design. Our engineers will work hard to fabricate tubing of any size to meet your needs – even if this requires us to make new tooling. Many of our marine clients select stainless steel 316L tubing with a mirror polish. The highly reflective, smooth finish is achieved by polishing the tubing down to approximately 0.2 microns; the sleek and shiny surface reduces areas for corrosive elements such as sodium chloride to rest and cause damage. We can also form tubing from bronze or brass, or create a brass effect by applying PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) titanium ore plating. If you like traditional teak wood but want it to have the strength and durability of aluminium or stainless steel, we can even apply a powder coat with a wood effect.

Refits and refurbishments for motorboats and yachts

If you want to rejuvenate your boat by replacing your railings with a customised profile, speak to us and we will be delighted to provide samples of what we can offer. For refits, we make stainless steel oval boat deck handrail and handles in a wide range of sizes and shapes (we can also source round stainless steel tubing if you want to replace your existing round railings with similar tube). Our experienced team of fabricators are specialists in welding stainless steel railings for yachts, motorboats and tenders. We can also polish boat parts such as ladders, gates, handrails, cleats, bollards, biminis and anchors. Our comprehensive stainless steel polishing service includes scratch removal and re-graining. You might own an older boat that has handrails that you want to rejuvenate. We can give the metalwork a super mirror polish to bring the boat back to its former brightness. Our metal fabricators are trusted by several leading British and international boat-makers, who use Timeless to bend, weld and polish the tube railings once we have shaped them. These naval architects and designers can rely on the fact that our specialist team always achieve high-quality bends and exceptional finishes. Outsourcing these fabrication services to our team creates efficiency and cost-savings in this manufacture process.

Ideally situated near the U.K's biggest marinas

Based in Poole on the south coast of England, Timeless Tube is close to several marinas in the areas of Poole, Christchurch and Southampton. Although we typically restore boat deck railings in our workshop, if necessary, our specialist team can weld or polish onsite for motorboats, yachts and tenders moored in the south of England.

Custom-made hinges for concealed gates and collapsible mechanisms

Timeless partner with internationally renowned hinge experts PE Marine Designz, who specialise in designing and making patented multi-pivot hinges for super yachts and motorboats. These bespoke hinge designs integrate clever functionality such as concealed power assistance with Timeless Tube’s premium shaped tube profiles to achieve both impressive aesthetics and performance. Combining high-end aesthetics and optimal functionality, the bespoke tube-based solutions remove the need for unsightly latches and unnecessary shrouding sometimes used to mask fittings. The unique designs are bespoke, so if you are looking for cleverly concealed gates and foldaway furniture and T-tops that do not compromise on style, speak to our team about these innovative geometric solutions, or find out more about PE Marine Designz’s pioneering tube technology and the solutions it provides for marine applications.

Tubing used in marine applications

An ergonomic, tactile shape that is perfect for handrails and balustrades in conjunction with structural glass and brickwork. A low-maintenance design commonly used for architectural and marine purposes.

Flat-sided Oval Tube

Clean, rounded lines and a flat-sided profile provide strength for architectural purposes – with a flat side useful for fixing to other elements.

D-shaped Tube

With a smooth top, flat section and incredible lateral strength, this ingenious design prevents water ingress and it’s easy to install. Ideal for handrail in public buildings and on marine craft.

Radiused Square Tube

Blended radius corners and a slight convex side provide greater strength than standard round tubing. This great alternative to box section tubing is popularly used for baluster railings and furniture.

Twisted Square Tube

Aesthetically striking, with the power to make a significant impact. Provides impressive strength integrity while being lighter and more cost-effective than conventional solid twisted bars.

Twisted Oval Tube

Innovative spiral forming applied to a classic oval tube design. This stunning twisted tube profile creates a mesmeric effect that is ideal for decorative metal architecture on buildings and boats.

Tubing solutions for niche marine applications

Our marine tubing goes beyond railings and staircases. For example, our engineers have worked closely with the team at premier marine equipment supplier, Lewmar, to create stainless steel tubing for an innovative mechanical awning for yachts. We’ve fabricated telescopic tubing for a hydraulic lift that is used to launch tenders and RIBS on super yachts. We have even made a door handle for a fridge on-board a yacht, with a special locking mechanism to prevent it from opening during voyages. Our engineers love using their creativity and expertise to produce tubing for new applications, so please chat to us to see if we can help with your projects.

Simple Tips for Maintaining Stainless Steel

Moisture with little or no oxygen invites rust. Salt, which helps to hold moisture, is a catalyst for the process. This is why rust normally starts at the base of bedded stainless-steel hardware, at longitudinal joins of rolled handrails, or in pitted areas. Welded areas have a higher susceptibility to corrosion, because heating stainless can destroy its stainless qualities. That’s why it is better to cut stainless steel by hand with a hacksaw than with an electric cutting wheel, which overheats the metal, causing stainless steel to rust where it was cut.

Polishing discoloration from stainless steel can actually wipe away evidence of impending doom. Colored dye test kits and a magnifying glass can help to detect defects in stainless steel that lead to failure. But even new stainless hardware can unexpectedly fail. Stainless chainplates and mast tangs are notorious failure points due to cyclical loading and corrosion penetration at minute cracks. Our special report Marine Metal Warning , delved into this topic.

To get a brilliant, long-lasting finish, manufacturers of high-grade marine hardware give their 304 and 316 products an electropolish. Electro-polishing involves bathing metal in a mild acid with an electric current. This takes away all the impurities and makes the stainless shine. Old stainless-steel hardware can be removed from your boat to be electro-polished again.

Even if you don’t electro-polish, you can bring stainless back to a shiny condition that helps ward off corrosion. Brightening the stainless also gives you an opportunity to inspect the hardware.

What stainless-steel deck hardware likes best is plenty of fresh water and mild soap to rinse away moisture-retaining salt and grime. On long, rainless ocean passages, it can be helpful to scrub down the decks, even with buckets of seawater, to reduce the concentration of salt residue. To eliminate the salt without wasting precious water, follow this rinse by wiping down with a wet rag soaked in fresh water. Don’t use chlorine cleaners as these are highly corrosive.

Getting out the shinola kit and buffing stainless steel before it rusts is a good practice. For longer lasting results—especially in welds or other areas where rust has developed—a passivation step can prolong protection against corrosion.

Our test of rust-stain removers showed that the most effective cleaners usually contained phosphoric acid or oxalic acid. Pastes were preferable. A jar of runny cleaner can spill easily, and any acid must be thoroughly rinsed, since the acid can harm gelcoat. This is one of the reasons Practical Sailor as well as industrial standards now prefer citric acid-based formulations like those described in “ Stainless Steel Passivization Testing” (including our own super-cheap DIY formula).  These formulations can be used almost entirely without buffing (no buffing in most cases), resulting in stain-free stainless and extended protection against corrosion.

When applying a paste cleaner, a toothbrush is useful for buffing tight spots and working into the pores of welds; follow by buffing with a cotton cloth. A green, 3M scrubby pad helps remove more aggressive stains. Continued rusting in welded areas might indicate developing failure, requiring replacement. Rust can also be effectively treated with a longer passivation treatment. The report passivating stainless steel, also describes the proper dwell time required for for full effect. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and mild soap when done.

Applying one of our favorite cleaner waxes or one of the best polish-protectants from our metal polish test will help protect against corrosion, but, this protection doesn’t last long. One of our top-rated corrosion-block sprays will offer slightly better protection, but some of these products are quite sticky, so they will pick up dirt.

Generally, a regular fresh water rinse is all you will need to preserve the tough protective oxide coating that high-quality stainless steel naturally forms with exposure to oxygen. However, in many cases — welding, cutting, and deeper corrosion pitting — an extra step of passivating the stainless steel will provide further protection. In our stainless steel passivation testing , this simple inexpensive step proved very effective in warding off future corrosion.

All this close, hands-on attention not only keeps the stainless looking bright but can prevent a major failure of the rigging. The close work makes it easier to inspect components, and the cleaning will often uncover cracked turnbuckles, wire end fittings, and other hardware problem before they fail.

For more on cleaning stainless and dealing with other problem boat stains, check out our e-book Essential Cleaners , part of a three-part series on marine cleaners .

In fact, the citric acid-based formulations in “Stainless Steel Passivization Testing” were used almost entirely without buffing (no buffing in most cases), resulting in stain free stainless and extended protection. It is now preferred to other acid chemistries, by both PS and within industrial standards.

Barkeepers Friend, the pump spray-on version, works very well. A ‘magic eraser’ pad can be used to touch up the more resistant areas. This works not only for the Stainless Steel but for any gelcoat in close contact.

Barkeepers Friend is very cheap and extremely effective without a lot of extra scrubbing and without any nasty residue.

Thanks, Evan, I’ll give it a try!

I’ve noticed that a lot of the new top quality Korean cables (not the cheap Chinese stuff) show signs of light corrosion almost immediately after rigging so can this method be used on stainless steel rigging/lifeline cables and turnbuckles – especially where the cable meets the turnbuckle. Is it safe to put the paste around that junction as long as you rinse it thoroughly afterwards? Might make for an interesting test. Keep up the great work!

Since 316 stainless steel is rated for long term citric acid exposure, there is no risk of leaving it on too long. Phosphoric acid and oxalic acid can cause staining if they dry in place. Citric acid can stain 400 series stainless alloys (some knives, for example); there are products buffered to a greater pH for this application.

Bar Keepers Friend or FSR, and a toothbrush. Perfecto.

Rinsing is the hard part.

Hello all you Practical Sailer folks. I have been using The Works, a bath and shower cleaner, for keeping Shooting Star’s stainless deck hardware rust free. Spray the pieces once or twice a day, no rinse needed, for two to three weeks. The rust stains will fade away day by day with no work needed. The Works also works for soaking ugly stainless steel things for a day or two to remove rust stains. Mike, on Shooting Star

Linssen Yachts Boat Show Spring Edition

Linssen yachts sponsors three charities and calls on customers to also do their bit for a nicer world..

At Linssen Yachts, we are not only celebrating our 75th anniversary as a leading name in the world of yacht building, but we are also taking this special occasion to give something back to the society and environment that has always inspired us. In our anniversary year, we are proud to support three great charities that all have a clear link to water, an element so central to our work and passion. We will donate €750 to each charity plus €25 per charity for each “75 Edition” yacht sold.

Water for Toubacouta: Water is not only the source of our existence, but also of livelihood and well-being for communities worldwide. This is why we enthusiastically sponsor Water for Toubacouta. Linssen and Linssen Boating Holidays partner Aqua Libra is the initiator of this organisation which works to ensure access to clean drinking water in remote areas of Toubacouta, Senegal. Our deep connection with water allows us to fully understand and appreciate the value of clean water, and we are determined to improve lives elsewhere by sharing this precious resource.

Actie Pepernoot (Stichting Kinderhulp): Just as water unites us, the festive spirit of St Nicholas unites us all. Action Pepernoot, supported by the Children’s Aid Foundation, reaches out to give children from financially vulnerable families an unforgettable Sinterklaas experience. As a company committed to creating unforgettable moments on the water, we also want to contribute to the magic of Sinterklaas for children who need it most. And of course, every year Saint Nicholas navigates European waters to provide our children with fun presents.

Maas Cleanup: Our love of water goes hand in hand with our responsibility to protect it. That is why we are also a sponsor of Maasclean-up, an organisation dedicated to removing waste and pollution from the Maas River and its banks. Our anniversary year is an opportunity to strengthen our sustainability efforts and actively participate in preserving our beloved waterways.

Is a stainless steel boat possible?

Discussion in ' Materials ' started by hansp77 , May 2, 2006 .

Just curious, as I am getting ready to try to weld up my own stainless pushpit the thought crossed my mind. Could one make a stainless steel hull? Or has anyone already done this? Aside from much higher cost, are there any fundamental reasons why this couldn't be done? The obvious idea I had to make this more affordable would be to use salvaged stainless, from things like big chemical storage tanks and what not. Hans.  

Raggi_Thor Nav.arch/Designer/Builder

"Stainless" means it doesn't rust in air. It will still corrode in (salt) water, I think. At least stainless bolts and screws are no good in wood under water.  

Thanks Raggi, i do know that stainless still corrodes, (maybe it should be called something like 'lessstain' or 'lessrust') but as far as I know, even without air- the rate of corrosion is still a lot 'less' than normal steel. I am not really picturing a gleaming silver bare metal hull (well ok the thought did briefly cross my mind) but rather some sort of painted, or zinc treated or other protective finish just like a normal steel hull. With the advantage of much slower corrosion (and much higher repair costs!) I am sure that there must be some reason other than price though.  

antonfourie Senior Member

As long as you coat prepare the stainless steel you should not have a problem, i.e. you need to create the protective layer that forms on stainless steel when you have worked with it, i.e. welding / forming, if you used 316 you would be able to leave the hull bare. The rate of corrosion is slower then even painted and cared for mild steel. If you were able to source the stainless and you paint it then you would be better off than using mild steel even the lower grades of stainless are still way better than mild steel, you would have to make sure that you use the correct electrodes as you might be welding disimilar grades of stainless.

A couple of years ago we installed a stainless deck onto a self propelled mooring service lighter 40' in length, works well, plating cost was about 4x steel & consumables about 10x. Its worth it if it cuts maintenance costs in high aggression zones like anchor handling on foredecks & cockpits, sponson beltings & the like.Jeff.  

What about aluminium? Isn't that more durable than steel?

Hutting yachts Hutting once (maybe more) build a 40ft all stainless yacht about 10 years ago, something simular to their current 40ft model. Don't know what happened to it http://www.hutting.nl/Hutting40/General40/maigen4001.html These days they build in aluminum, with wood/epoxy deckhouse. You could ask them for an opinon.  

Hans, the most likely source would be old chemical tanks, which may not be that pleasant to work with and may have some chemical corrosion damage. The other thing that you could look for is ex road tankers that have been in a accident. How ever you do it please be carefull as 316 is most used when there are nasty chemicals or acids and there may be harmfull residue. As for a gleaming hull, yes as this is what handrails are made from, but if not looked after properly i.e. washed and cleaned like any other boat the stainless steel will get brownish surface corrosion or water marks, although this will only ever be a few microns thick  

Thanks SeaSpark and antonfourie, this is all just theoretical for me at the moment. I thought it might be an interesting thread, and as it stands I have my hands full enough with my current boat. But, for a long term future oriented project, who knows? At lest it does seem that there could be prospects for obtaining the metal cheap. Maybe by the time that I am ready to invest (a rather funny word in this context) in a 40-50ft round-the-worlder I may also be ready to just buy the damn thing ready to go.  

Ike Senior Member

Can it be done. Yes. Practical? Not very. The Nickel Institute in Canada did a serious study of the effect of salt water on various stainless steels. What they found is that they all corrode if they are wet and stay wet. Stainless like aluminum has a natural oxide on it's surface that prevents corrosion. Water washes the oxide away. With aluminum the oxide doesn't wash away so the aluminum doesn't corrode unles you damage or remove the oxide. The other problem is the welds. The welds would have to be near perfect. Stainless is very subject to crevice corrosion. Any defect, even the slightest crack or crevice, will breed corrosion which will spread. Plus that, to weld it right you would have to use the TIG process further raising the cost. Build out of aluminum if you want a bare metal yacht. There are lots of them.  

Ike, I don't really want a bare metal yacht, I am quite content at the moment with my lovely warm wooden one, I was wondering if it were possible with 316, and if so, if it had been done already- or why not? These reasons you have provided, however, are of the kind that I was looking for. Cheers.  

gonzo Senior Member

Stainless bellow the waterline will get crevice corrosion. It will also interact chemically with antifouling paint. However, Monel metal is corrosion resistant to be used below the waterline and is also naturally antifouling. You can have a shiny boat after all.  

lewisboats Obsessed Member

Being as I am reading about corrosion right now...I would like to point out that stainless has two "levels" for want of a better name. One "level is significantly more noble than the other. The more noble level is the one where the chromium in the steel has oxidized (it needs a constant supply of oxygen to maintain) on the surface and is providing the corrosion inhibiting surface coating and the lesser level is any place that that coating has been penetrated (scratches, any oxygen deprived area (the coating doesn't last without oxy), etc). Add an electrolyte (salt water/contaminated fresh water...it all is to an extent) and the electrical capacity of the metal itself and you have a galvanic cell...a battery. The lesser noble level will sacrifice itself (corrode) to the more noble level (pit corrosion). You will also get corrosion anywhere stagnant water (oxy depleted) sits...the bilge for one, condensation for another. You will also encounter corrosion anywhere where you have biologicals attached to the surface of the metal, cutting it off from oxygen and in contact with moisture. The last type of corrosion you might see is around the welds, where you have altered the diffusion of alloys in the metal. The chromium gets bound up with the carbon leaving the area starved of chromium...the anti rusting agent. Using 316L (lo carbon) would help to alleviate this particular issue. Bare 316/316L needs water moving at a rate of about 3 ft/sec to maintain the coating of oxydized chromium at the required levels to provide corrosion protection. Steve

Yacht Lettering

Here’s some examples of our lettering styles.

Our yacht lettering styles are all high standard finishes. Choose from our wide choice of 3D yacht lettering. Contact us for expert marine sign guidance and help choosing the right lettering for your yacht name logo.

Custom-Line

By far our most cost-effective 3D yacht letter assembly that incorporates LED illumination. Designed to suit a budget whilst maintaining a high standard of finish and a lighting effect you would expect on a larger yacht.

Available from 5mm thick right up to 50mm thick. Yacht letters can be gloss or matte acrylic or even painted to match a specific RAL colour or paint code.

Letters are backed with a 10mm thick, light-diffusing opal plexiglass as standard and fronts can be bevelled as an option.

NIGHT MODE : LED Colour – 6000K Crisp Cool White

Simple lines with minimal surface protrusion. A popular style synonymous with the marine and superyacht industry. An ideal choice for smaller production boats around 70ft-80ft where swim platform space is minimal and letters are of a smaller scale.

The 316L polished stainless steel top letter is backed with 10mm thick, light-diffusing opal plexiglass offering spotless halo illumination

The stainless steel front letter is supplied as 2mm thick as standard or 4mm as optional. The opal backing can be bevelled as an optional extra.

NIGHT MODE : LED Colour – 3000k Warm White

The MID-LINE range is perfectly suited to the 25m+ market where medium sized letters require a little added rigidity and flare.

Letters are supplied with 4mm thick mirror-polished stainless steel and backed with 10mm thick (flush or bevelled) light-diffusing opal plexiglass, for spotless illumination.

A gloss white/black 8mm thick acrylic trim seals the back of the letter adding extra depth, rigidity and increased definition. As a general rule, white backing is used for dark hulls and black for lighter-coloured hulls.

NIGHT MODE : LED Colour – 4000k Neutral White

Primarily for the larger 50m+ projects with increased letter and logo sizes. Extra letter thickness gives superior rigidity and aesthetically correct proportions to the size of yacht.

A 4mm polished stainless steel top letter is laminated onto 28mm of solid machined acrylic. Comprised of 20mm flush/bevelled opal plexiglass laminated onto 8mm acrylic backing, the assembly offers spotless halo illumination.

The backing trims give beautiful letter definition, contrasting against the superstructure surface. As a general rule, white backing is used for dark hulls and black for lighter-coloured hulls.

NIGHT MODE : LED Colour – 5000k Daylight White

Primarily for the larger 50m+ projects with increased letter and logo sizes. Extra letter thickness gives superior rigidity and aesthetically correct proportions to the size of the yacht.

A 4mm polished stainless steel top letter is mounted onto a layer of 15mm painted acrylic, which is then – in turn – laminated to 28mm of solid machined acrylic. Comprised of 20mm flush/bevelled opal plexiglass laminated onto 8mm acrylic backing, the assembly offers spotless halo illumination.

The backing trims give a beautiful letter definition, contrasting against the superstructure surface. As a general rule, white backing is used for dark hulls and black for lighter-coloured hulls.

Some prestigious projects often require larger-than-standard letters, or that little extra something for added character and esteem.  Custom-Line products are machined from a wide range of high-end materials, including – but not limited to – stainless steel, acrylic, carbon fibre and even solid iroko.

If you can think it, we can almost certainly create it.

Our Custom-Line range allows you to indulge your creativity with a variety of CNC-cut letter profiles, shapes and surface finishes to suit even the most specific of tastes.

And coupled with a myriad of luxury marine-grade finishes – from specific paint codes to PVD coating – you can really let your imagination run wild.

Yacht Finishes

Here’s some examples of our yacht finishes, mirror polished finish, pvd gold finish, pvd anthracite black, pvd champagne gold, pvd designer range, ral painted acrylic.

The mirror polished finish, similar to a chrome boat letters finish is the industry standard finish for the majority of yacht signs and yacht logos around the world and the perfect choice for those who want their sign to shine radiantly as the sun hits its stainless steel fronts.

From 1.2mm up to 50mm thick, solid mirror-polished yacht letters are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also in-keeping with the luxury sensibilities of the yacht industry. Available in polished, matte, satin or brushed finishes.

316L stainless steel letters are mirror-polished and put through a process known as physical vapour deposition (PVD). In this instance, a hard gold coating is applied to give the appearance of 24-karat solid gold letters, while the anti-corrosive properties and mirrored effect of the stainless steel are preserved beneath the finish.

PVD gold will suit both modern and traditional yachts alike, with far superior weather resistance compared to gold leaf.

Available in polished, matte, satin or brushed finishes.

316L stainless steel letters are mirror-polished and PVD-coated in a hard black anthracite plating to give an ultra-modern finish to the letters, whilst maintaining the anti-corrosive properties and the mirrored effect of the stainless steel beneath.

This style takes inspiration from jet-black supercar alloys and modern Swiss watch bezels. Truly an ideal look for those wanting to make a bold statement.

316L stainless steel letters are mirror-polished and PVD-coated in a hard champagne-gold plating, to give a subtle light-gold hue.  The anti-corrosive properties and mirrored effect of the stainless steel are preserved beneath the finish.

Champagne gold finishes are commonly found on modern smart phones and tablets, as well as high-end watches and opulent home furnishings.

Example provided: Copper.

316L stainless steel letters are mirror-polished and PVD-coated in a hard plating to give modern jewellery-like finish to the letters. The anti-corrosive properties and the mirrored effect of the stainless steel beneath are maintained.

Think of pink champagne, rose gold jewellery, antique copper furnishings and Riviera sunsets.

Acrylic, Stainless Steel or Aluminium letters can be wet-sprayed or powder-coated to any desired colour. Custom levels of matte and gloss finish can also be requested.

RAL numbers and pantones can be matched to existing colours onboard the yacht to continue a specific colour theme across, or as part of, the yacht signage.

A material displayed in abundance on yacht exteriors, yet unique in the form of lettering. Solid teak lettering can be CNC machined to suit most designs and logos.

The addition of stainless steel sees the two highly complimentary materials sit together harmoniously, creating an organic, yet crisp, nautical feel.

Definitely for the most style conscious of customer.

Non Illuminated Yacht Lettering

Of course, illuminated Boat lettering is not for everyone, in light of this all our yacht names & logo styles are also available as a ‘non’ illuminated style. In conjunction with this we also produce acrylic hailing port lettering, identification numbers & stainless steel boat names which can also be illuminated.

Please take some time to browse through our above yacht / boat lettering styles and finishes to see what suits your project best.

Sites such as fonts.com  offer a comprehensive library of fonts which we have access to so please take some time to peruse them and inform us when you have one or two ideas in mind.

If you are unable to find the exact lettering style you have in mind, please contact us and we will be more than happy to discuss your requirements.

Custom Made Back Lit 3D Yacht Logos

Every yacht is different and unique to itself. To keep its originality and to stand out from other yachts it is important to have yacht logos and signage that reflects its character. We at Lumenautica design and manufacture yacht logos in various styles and designs to give an elegant look to your yacht.

All these illuminated and non-illuminated yacht signs are made from high quality materials including polished stainless steel and acrylic with integral LEDs and fibre optics. They are designed and engineered to ensure that they survive for superior longevity within the tough marine conditions.
