Boat Registration Number Decals
Custom boat registration number decals that meet all federal and state requirements. Durable, high-visibility, and precision-cut for a professional look that lasts for years on the water.
Know the Law
Boat Registration Number Requirements
Every motorized vessel on U.S. waterways must display a valid registration number. Here's what federal and state regulations require — and how our decals keep you compliant.
Minimum 3-Inch Height
Federal law (33 CFR Part 173) requires registration numbers to be at least 3 inches high. Most states mandate block letters in a contrasting color to the hull.
Forward Bow Placement
Numbers must appear on both sides of the bow, reading left to right, positioned as far forward as possible for maximum visibility.
State-Issued Format
Your registration number follows the format: 2-letter state code + up to 4 digits + 2-letter suffix (e.g., FL 1234 AB). Spaces or hyphens required between each group.

Captain Rick Thornton
27' Sea Ray Sundancer

"I've tried other decal companies and nothing compares. These registration numbers have survived three Florida summers — zero fading, zero peeling. They look as sharp as the day I applied them. Highly recommend for any fellow boater."
Angela Marsh
22' Mako Center Console
Savannah, GA
"The two-color registration numbers look absolutely professional on my Mako. The customer service team helped me choose a color combo that pops against my white hull. Application was a breeze with the included instructions."
Dave Kowalski
19' Grady-White Freedom
Charleston, SC
"Ordered the reflective set after my buddy got a warning for hard-to-read numbers at night. These are incredibly bright — you can spot them from 100 yards with a spotlight. Totally worth the upgrade from standard decals."
