Best Custom Captain Gifts for Dads

Once we have that (and you approve it), we can easily print the artwork on your favorite merch selections from our store.

We’re Big On Quality and Comfort!
All our custom boat shirts are printed using a process called dye sublimation. During this process, the ink seeps into the very fabric of the product, and sublimation prints don’t crack, peel, or fade away. Even after multiple washes, the print will look as good as new.
The cotton shirts are printed on 100% gildan-heavy cotton materials. We always make sure to use the high-quality we know our customers love, allowing us to print your boat in high resolution for the perfect custom boat shirts.
And once you have your custom boat artwork in our system, you don’t have to order any specific number of boat gear. Yes, we do not have a minimum order requirement! Order only one Pelagic Dri-Fit Shirt, one Lightweight Windbreaker, or one American Flag Dri-fit Shirt, and that's fine with us.
You can also go with popular demand and order the Custom Dri-Fit Bulk Pack long-sleeve shirts, which are great for guests and giveaways.
