What is a Vinyl Boat Wrap?
A vinyl boat wrap consists of vinyl sheets that adhere to the surface of your boat, they come in a variety of colors, textures, and graphics that can customize your boat or enhance different sections of it for the specific look desired. Boat wraps aren't dissimilar from decals, with the vinyl film having an adhesive back that can deliver a new appearance either long-term or in the short turn.
The vinyl wrap itself is a pressure-sensitive thin sheet with an adhesive back and is applied to your boat above the waterline by professional installers. Using our extensive research into adhesives and vinyl film, our cast is top-of-the-line and developed in our state-of-the-art facility in South Carolina.
Types of Boat Wraps
Both marine professionals and personal boat owners stand to benefit immensely from applying vinyl wrap to their boats. Before outlining the advantages of boat wraps, let's first detail the three primary methods used for wrapping a boat:
-
Full wrap: just as it sounds, this method of wrapping covers the entire hull and acts like marine paint would.
-
Partial wrap: instead of covering the whole boat you can add a few accents or partially wrap the boat so there are a couple of eye-catching graphics on the side of the vessel.
-
Interior: many boat owners don't consider the interior for a vinyl wrap, but it's popular with fishing rigs as it's easy to clean and gives the interior some eye-pleasing sights.
Advantages of Using Boat Vinyl Wraps
Wrapping your boat in vinyl film provides a lot of benefits for both individuals who want a unique look and businesses who want to advertise and increase their brand awareness:
Increases Resale Values
Vinyl wrap helps keep your boat in excellent condition because it is scratch resistant and helps protect it from UV light damage. During the resale process, you can strip the boat of its vinyl and it will look new. On the other hand, a custom design or unique color scheme can be a selling point, having the potential buyer purchase the boat with the vinyl wrap intact.
Customization Opportunities
Vinyl boat wrap is highly customizable and that allows for all sorts of opportunities, whether a fresh look for a speed boat race or a special event on a yacht, even advertising on a fishing boat. No matter the type of boat you want to wrap, you can customize it to match your brand or personal tastes with a range of colors, graphics, textures or enhanced images, and signage.
Cost-Effective
Marine paint jobs can be expensive, especially when compared to the more cost-effective vinyl wrap. Professional detailing can cost upwards of several thousand dollars, this is prohibitive especially if your company has several boats. By using a vinyl wrap, you save the high upfront costs of painting your boat while benefiting from the protection vinyl wrap provides.
Durable
Vinyl wrap has high durability, surpassing that of your boat's paint job. When your boat's paint gets scratched and nicked, you risk a mismatch of color due to the UV rays fading the boat over time. Any new paint would stand out enormously, but with vinyl film, you just have to apply some patchwork before hitting the water again. Vinyl film also helps protect your boat from the sun's UV rays, an additional benefit when the boat is always sitting in the sun.
Easy to Repair & Replace
Piggybacking off of the last benefit, vinyl film can be replaced whenever a change is needed or wanted, or if a part of it becomes damaged. With your boat's paint, any change or damage would mean a very expensive repaint. Vinyl film is installed in panels, not one big wrap, and with that, you can change only the damaged panel or replace the panel you want to give a new design. A much more cost-effective solution.
