What is a hull wrap?
A hull wrap refers to the application of a self-adhesive vinyl to the hull of a boat creating a ‘second skin’. Our custom-designed graphics can give your vessel a personalised eye-catching look, while the vinyl material acts as an effective durable guard against wear and tear.
Is a hull wrap suitable for me?
Vinyl wrapping is an ideal solution for both new and older boats. If you have a brand-new boat and want to give it a unique and personalised touch while preserving its value, a vinyl wrap is a great option. On the other hand, if you have an older boat that needs a new look, a vinyl wrap can help it look new again, with a customised design, and it will also protect the boat from wear and tear. Regardless of the age or condition of your boat, a vinyl wrap can provide a cost-effective way to enhance its appearance and extend its lifespan.
How does a hull wrap work?
When it comes to customising your boat with a vinyl wrap, the possibilities are endless. The first step is deciding on the look you want to achieve - whether it's sleek and understated, bold and wild, or something entirely unique. From there, you can choose from a wide range of finishes, such as matte, gloss, iridescent, and metallic, to create a truly eye-catching design. For optimal results, it's important to ensure that the surface of your boat's hull is smooth and clean before application. This can be achieved by washing it down with a surface cleaner. Once the preparation is done, professional vinyl wrapping experts will bring your vision to life and turn your boat into a true work of art.
What are the benefits of having a hull wrap?
Cost
Adhesive films and fitting are a cost-effective and efficient way to customise and protect your boat. Not only are they simpler and faster to apply, but they can also be removed easily without damaging the undercoat, preserving the original condition of your boat. So, if you're looking for a cost-effective and efficient way to customise your boat, vinyl wrapping is a great choice.
Easy application
The average hull wrap takes approximately 30 to 60% less time to apply than a fresh paint job (depending on the complexity of the wrap).
Infinite Possibilities
With printed vinyl, the design possibilities for your boat's hull are truly endless. Choose custom graphics that are unique to your vessel and reflect your personal style with a subtle design or a bold statement, the choice is yours. Our creative team will be able to help you bring your vision to life as you see your design transform from the screen to your hull in no time.
Durability & Protection
The materials we use provide long-term protection for your boat by shielding it from various elements it may encounter on the water. They are resistant to UV rays, abrasions, oils, salts and more, ensuring that your boat stays in top condition for a long time. So you can have peace of mind knowing that your boat is protected while you enjoy it on the water.
Reversibility
Boat wraps allow you to express your creativity while maintaining the resale value of your vessel. The vinyl used is easy to remove, and when it's done, it reveals a perfectly preserved gel coating underneath. So, you can customise your boat to your heart's content without worrying about damaging its value.
Environmentally Friendly
Our vinyl wraps are environmentally friendly as they do not release any volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the air. This means that the process of applying our wraps to your boat is not harmful to the environment, and you can enjoy your new look with a peace of mind.
How easy is it to upkeep a vinyl hull wrap?
Maintaining your boat's new look is easy with our vinyl wraps. A quick wipe down with a damp cloth is all that's needed to keep it looking great. For best results, we recommend washing down the wrap with fresh water after each use. In case of particularly dirty areas, soapy water can also be used. And if the wrap gets damaged, it's easy to patch repair. So keeping your boat looking fresh and new is easy and you don't have to worry about any major maintenance.
