UV-resistant, high-quality acrylic ensures longevity without discolouration.
The position of each individual LED is precisely calculated to ensure uniform luminance. The LEDs are embedded in the acrylic by hand and are not visible at any point.
The pictured hull curvature was measured with a 3D laser and the reverse side of the lettering was manufactured accordingly for an absolutely precise fit.
The front element reflects the existing curvature.
The precise fit is guaranteed by CNC form millers and laser cutting machines.
Fronts can be made of stainless steel, gold leaf, acrylic, adhesive film, precious wood, yacht standard lacquer, porcelain or many other materials. PVD coatings are another surface option.
Bevelled or rounded edges elegantly enhance the light reflection.

All alphabets of the world

Whether Arabic, Cyrillic or Korean alphabet, whether Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana: We realize the lettering for your yacht in any font.

Adaptation to the curvature of the ship’s hull

The lettering will be adapted on the reverse side accordingly in the CAD procedure for a perfect installation on curved sides.

PVD plasma coatings on a stainless steel basis

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition; the innovative PVD process results in perfect surfaces that not only impress with brilliant color quality, but also with outstanding mechanical properties, such as excellent protection against salt water and weather influences.

Stainless steel surfaces

High-quality and highly polished stainless steel reflects the surrounding ambience.

The standard stainless steel thickness is 3 mm, but is also possible up to any thickness. Optionally, the stainless steel can be provided with a PVD coating.

3D-printed steel is also a particularly exclusive and highly topical variant. There are countless variations possible!

Whether polished, brushed, sanded, etched or combined – everything is possible. Just ask us.

Front lighted

Front lighting elements are also possible and give your YACHTLITE product a very special dimension. Rear and front lighting can also be combined very effectively.

Front made of high-performance film

An extensive range of colours for film fronts is available for your desired lettering.

Our high-performance films are of course weather-, seawater- and UV-resistant.

Acrylic fronts

Chic acrylic fronts are available from YACHTLITE in many different colours and material thicknesses.

Coloured acrylic emphasises the 3D effect of the object or lettering and is a great alternative to film or steel.

Lacquered surfaces

High-quality lacquered surfaces in all colours, special lacquering as well as an individual adaptation to the desired yacht lacquer are always possible on request.

Porcelain covers

Luxurious, high-quality and seawater-resistant porcelain covers are a joint production with Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg (www.nymphenburg.com) and are produced exclusively for YACHTLITE.

Please ask Yachtlite for this highly exclusive version!

Bevel variants

Curves or bevels form a beautiful special shape to the otherwise straight edges of our Yachtlite elements.

The light aura is raised, and the letter appears even more sculptural.

Everything is possible with Yachtlite!

Carbon surfaces

Carbon surfaces have become very popular.

Here you can see a special combination of stainless steel edging and carbon inlay.

3-dimensional curvature

Whether 3D-printed or 3D-milled, three-dimensional fronts made of stainless steel or other materials appear even more exclusive.

Here you can see a designer solution for a super yacht. The letter is vertically curved.

Multi Layer / Multi-stage material combinations

Impressive effects can be achieved by combining different materials and contour thicknesses.

For example, you can mix stainless steel, wood, coloured acrylic and light contours.

Data Communication

Send us your artwork, photos and files

In order to provide our customers with expert advice and guarantee the best results, additional information is always welcome. A photo of your yacht will help us to provide you with the best possible suggestions regarding possible fonts, suitable surfaces and suitable colours. The design of your yacht, an existing curvature of the ship’s transom or side or the exact positioning of the lettering are all helpful information.

Photos

You can send us photos of your yacht as a JPEG file by uploading the data as an attachment to your request in the Design Generator.

A simulation of your desired lettering directly on your yacht photo is a free service at YACHTLITE.

Your own designs

Drafts & Sketches

Production Data

Please note that photographs and sketches are not sufficient for the technical production of your lettering. They are a helpful tool to find the optimal design solution for your yacht.

We can only process vector data for digital film cutting or lasering of letterings.

For direct transfer of your data we need files in EPS, DXF, DWG or CDR format or files from Adobe Illustrator (Win.).

All fonts must be converted to character paths / curves.

If you require a special font, you can send us the font as TrueType font (.ttf) or as OpenType font (.otf).
