Boat Wraps
Marine wraps, custom hull graphics and colour changes built to handle saltwater, UV, and everything the Hauraki Gulf throws at them.
Your boat cops a hiding from the elements every time it goes out. Might as well make it look good doing it. Boat wraps give you a hull refresh, custom marine graphics, and genuine gelcoat protection from UV and salt damage, all in one job. Our Auckland vehicle wrapping team handles marine wrap work on everything from tinnies and jet skis to full-size launches out of our Swanson workshop.
What are Boat Wraps?
Wrapping a boat is not the same as wrapping a car. Not even close. Hull curves go in directions car panels never do. Gelcoat needs different surface prep than automotive paint. And saltwater changes every decision about materials and edge sealing. Understanding how vinyl performs in marine conditions is what separates a wrap that lasts from one that fails after a season.
We offer the full range of boat wrap services:
- Hull graphics and identification
- Full hull colour change wraps
- Custom marine graphic design
- Commercial vessel branding
- Jet ski and PWC wraps
- Boat and trailer matching graphics
Our marine experience means your vessel gets the right materials applied the right way for conditions that destroy shortcuts.
Auckland boaties from the Hauraki Gulf to the West Coast bring their vessels to Falcon Signs because our marine wraps hold up. Simple as that.

Our Process
Our Boat Wraps Process
Marine Assessment
We go over the vessel properly. Hull shape, surface condition, gelcoat health, old graphics, oxidation. This tells us exactly what prep is needed before any vinyl goes on.
Design Development
Simple rego numbers or a full colour overhaul, we mock everything up to scale on your actual hull shape. You see how graphics sit with the curves before we commit to anything.
Material Selection
Not every vinyl brand holds up in saltwater. We have learned which ones perform in the Hauraki Gulf and which ones look good in a catalogue but fail in the real world. We only use films and adhesives rated for marine conditions.
Surface Preparation
Salt residue, old wax, oxidation. All of it has to come off completely. If the gelcoat is not prepped properly, the vinyl will not bond correctly and you will have problems within months.
Graphics Installation
Hull curves go in multiple directions at once, which means stretching, heating, and working vinyl around shapes that fight you the whole time. Different skill set from flat car panels.
Edge Sealing
This is where marine wraps live or die. Every single edge gets sealed against water intrusion. We spend more time on edges than people expect because shortcuts here lead to failures out on the water.
Final Inspection
Adhesion, edge sealing, bubble-free application, overall appearance. Everything gets checked before the boat goes anywhere near the water.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Falcon Signs for Boat Wraps?
Gelcoat Protection
The vinyl takes the UV, the oxidation, the waterline grime, the scratches at the boat ramp. Your actual gelcoat stays protected underneath.
Looks You Cannot Get With Paint
Matte black hulls, metallic finishes, custom graphics. Colours and effects that marine paint either cannot do or charges a fortune for.
Peel It Off Later
Changed your mind? Selling the boat? The wrap comes off without damaging the gelcoat underneath. Try doing that with a $15,000 paint job.
Faster Than Marine Paint
No multiple coats, no curing windows, no weather dependencies holding up the schedule. Wrapping gets your boat back on the water sooner.
Covers Tired Gelcoat
Oxidised, faded, chalky hull? A wrap hides the damage and makes it look new again without the cost of gelcoat restoration.
Update Without Starting Over
New graphics, different colour, updated branding. Change what you want without stripping and repainting the whole hull.
