Boat wraps are an increasingly popular way
to protect, personalise, and enhance the appearance of your Yellowfin
boat. Whether you’re after a sleek new look, branding for your business, or
added protection for your boat’s surface, a quality wrap can do the job without
the cost and permanence of paint. But not all boat wraps are the same.
Understanding the different types of boat wraps can help you choose the right
option for your style, budget, and boating lifestyle.
Full Wraps
A full boat wrap covers the entire exterior
surface of the boat’s hull above the waterline. These are ideal for boat owners
looking for a complete visual transformation. Full wraps can include bold
graphics, solid colours, or customised designs; anything from camouflage to
carbon fibre textures or advertising logos.
Best for:
Maximum impact, rebranding, or total boat makeovers
Pros: Total coverage, highly customisable, protects original finish
Cons: More expensive than partial wraps, takes longer to install
Partial Wraps
Partial wraps are applied to only a
selection of the boat, often the sides or transom. This is a great option for
boat owners who want a fresh look or branding without the cost of a full wrap. It's
also useful for accenting your boat’s design with decals, stripes, or
lettering.
Best for:
Budget-conscious boaters, basic branding, or decorative accents
Pros: More affordable, easier to apply, quicker turnaround
Cons: Less coverage and protection than full wraps
Interior Wraps
Interior wraps are often used for
refurbishing consoles, dashboards, cabinets, or non-slip flooring. These wraps
can give worn or outdated interiors a modern update without the hassle of painting
the entire interior or replacing it entirely. This is only applicable for boats
with cabins like the Haines Hunter
boats.
Best for:
Updating interiors without full renovations
Pros: Easy to clean, moisture-resistant, improves aesthetic
Cons: Not all interior surfaces are ideal for wrapping
Textured and Specialty Wraps
Some boat wraps go beyond simple colours or
graphics. Textured wraps like brushed aluminium, matte finishes, gloss carbon
fibre or chrome can give your boat a high-end appearance. These are ideal for
owners who want a standout, premium look.
Best for: Unique, luxury appearance or specific design themes
Pros: Eye-catching, stylish, premium feel
Cons: Higher cost, can be harder to repair or match if damaged
Custom Graphic Wraps
Custom wraps are digitally designed to feature
logos, artwork, business branding, or personal styles. These are especially popular for fishing
charters, racing teams, or promotional vessels. Graphic wraps can turn your
boat into a moving billboard or a personal statement.
Best for: Businesses, sports teams, personal use, or
promotional use
Pros: Fully customisable, professional look, brand exposure
Cons: Needs professional design and application, higher cost
