How large do boat registration numbers need to be?

Transport Canada requires block characters at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) high, on both sides of the bow, above the waterline, and in a colour that contrasts with the hull. See the linked Saskatchewan guide for the display details.

What colour should I choose?

Choose a colour with strong contrast against the hull. Black works on bare aluminum or a light hull; white or silver can stand out on a dark hull. The online preview shows the selected colour and height before checkout.

Can I order a larger character height or a boat name?

Yes. Request a reviewed quote for another character height or a boat name. Include the hull colour, selected height, and requested wording.

Can you supply number decals for several boats?

Yes. Fleet sets and full-colour graphics are reviewed as a complete job. Send the number of boats, wording, sizes, and any logo requirements for a quote.

How do I apply the decals?

Clean and dry the hull, position the premask transfer tape, press from the centre outward, and peel the tape away. Apply when the surface is clean, dry, and warm enough for the vinyl.

How quickly can I get boat numbers?

Standard production begins after the licence number and artwork details are confirmed. Call (306) 954-8688 to ask about current production capacity and pickup timing.

Boat Registration Numbers SK

Every licensed pleasure craft must display its licence number on both sides of the bow, above the waterline, in block characters that contrast with the hull. The reviewed three-inch pair configuration shown in the product card is one matched set for the port and starboard sides.

Choose a current option online to enter the licence number and preview the selected height and colour. For another letter height, a boat name, a logo, full-colour graphics, or a multi-boat fleet, request a quote with the complete details.

Decals are die-cut from 3 mil vinyl on our in-house Roland TrueVIS VG2 eco-solvent printer/cutter. Each set arrives on premask transfer tape. Clean and dry the hull before applying the characters; aluminum, fibreglass, and painted hulls are supported.
