The Water Changes the Apparel
A normal work shirt isn't always a marine work shirt.
Sun exposure, heat, wind, salt, repeated washing, movement and guest-facing service all influence what belongs on a boat. The right garment depends on whether it is crew workwear, captain apparel, tournament gear or merchandise.
Make the Crew Easy to Identify
Consistent shirts, polos, hats and layers help customers know who the captain and crew are before they ever leave the dock.
Turn the Boat Into a Brand
Boat names, charter logos, target species, locations and custom artwork can become recognizable merchandise—not just another uniform.
Build Crew + Guest Merch Separately
The shirt that works all day on deck may not be the same garment your customers want to buy after the trip. We can plan both roles intentionally.
Marine Apparel for the Whole Waterfront
From charter docks to yacht decks.
Fishing operations, yachts and marine businesses may all need branded apparel, but the product mix changes with the work, customer experience and environment.
Crew Shirts + Guest Merchandise
Long-sleeve performance shirts, captain gear, hats and sellable merchandise for inshore, offshore, sportfishing and guide operations.
Make the Person the Brand
Custom fishing shirts, polos, hats, outerwear and merchandise for independent captains, guides and owner-operators.
Polished, Guest-Facing Crew Apparel
Embroidered polos, performance shirts, hats, quarter-zips and layers for captains, deck crews and guest-facing marine teams.
Outdoor Staff Gear
Staff shirts, sunwear, hats, polos, jackets and branded merchandise for marina employees, dock teams and waterfront operations.
Performance Gear + Sponsor Visibility
Fishing-team shirts, tournament apparel, sponsor-heavy graphics, hats and coordinated gear for competitive crews and events.
Boat Dealers, Services + Coastal Brands
Apparel and promotional merchandise for dealers, service companies, tackle shops, marine contractors, yacht services and boating brands.
Build the Marine Apparel Kit
Choose the garment for the job it has to do.
Start with exposure, activity, dress level and audience. We'll help narrow fabric, weight, fit, color and decoration compatibility before you commit to a blank that only looked good in a catalog.
Long-Sleeve Protection Options
Select long-sleeve and hooded performance styles with published UPF ratings are available for crews working extended hours outdoors.
Lightweight Shirts for Hot Conditions
Moisture-management and lightweight microfiber/polyester options can help create a more comfortable uniform for active marine work.
Captain + Guest-Facing Apparel
Performance polos and elevated branded tops for captains, yacht crews, marina management, boat dealers and customer-facing staff.
Everyday Deck Gear
Embroidered caps, performance hats, truckers and other headwear for crew uniforms, tournaments, charter merchandise and marina staff.
Cool Mornings + Changing Weather
Quarter-zips, fleece, jackets and selected outer layers for captains, crews and marine businesses when the weather changes.
Go Beyond Apparel
Ask about drinkware, coolers, bags, towels and other promotional products for charters, marinas, events and coastal brands.
UPF + Performance Marine Shirts
Don't print a basic tee and call it a sun shirt.
For boat captains, fishermen and crews spending hours in exposed conditions, fabric choice matters. We can help source lightweight performance shirts, microfiber/polyester options and select garments with manufacturer-published UPF ratings.
The rating belongs to the specific garment—not to “marine apparel” as a category. If sun protection is a project requirement, tell us up front so we can verify the published specifications of the exact style being quoted.
Decoration method matters too. Depending on the garment and artwork, screen printing, transfer-based decoration, sublimation or embroidery may be more appropriate.
Fishing Charter Apparel
Your crew shirt and your souvenir shirt have different jobs.
Crew gear needs to survive the workday. Customer merchandise needs to look good enough that somebody wants to take it home. One blank doesn't have to do both.
Performance gear for the people running the trip.
Build captain and crew apparel around exposure, movement, weather and the professional look you want customers to see at the dock and on the boat.
Quote Crew Apparel →Give customers something worth wearing after the charter.
Create retail-friendly tees, hats and merchandise built around the boat, logo, target species, destination or charter identity. A great trip gives people a reason to remember the brand; the merch keeps it visible.
Build Charter Merch →Yacht + Captain Apparel
When the crew is part of the guest experience.
Yacht apparel often needs to feel more polished than standard workwear while still performing around water, movement and weather. That can mean a different mix of polos, performance shirts, hats, quarter-zips and outer layers.
Embroidery works especially well for many captain, yacht, marina and guest-facing applications where a clean logo treatment is more appropriate than a large print.

Fishing Teams + Tournaments
Make room for the team, the boat and the sponsors.
Tournament apparel often carries more information than a standard company shirt. Plan sponsor marks, team identity, boat name, angler names and decoration locations before the artwork becomes crowded.
Boat + Crew Branding
Coordinate the boat name, team identity, logo and garment colors into one system that reads clearly from the dock, weigh-in and photos.
Plan Logo Placement Early
Sponsor counts and required placements can change the decoration method, garment and artwork layout. Send all marks before proofing when possible.
Choose the Right Fishing Shirt
Lightweight long-sleeve, microfiber, performance and selected UPF-rated options can be considered for competitive fishing teams.
Participants + Supporters
T-shirts, hats and branded merchandise can extend the tournament beyond the team itself to volunteers, sponsors, families and supporters.
Fleet, Marina or Recurring Crew Orders?
Don't rebuild the uniform order every time the roster changes.
Boats add crew. Marinas add seasonal staff. Uniforms get replaced. Multi-location marine businesses need approved products. For qualifying programs, a more organized ordering structure can reduce the admin.
Approved marine apparel in one place.
For qualifying programs, create a managed lineup of approved polos, shirts, hats, layers and branded products for crew, locations or departments instead of starting every reorder from scratch.
Explore Company Stores →Build a merchandise line around the boat or brand.
If customers ask for shirts, hats, drinkware or other branded items, we can help develop a tighter product assortment instead of ordering unrelated pieces one at a time.

Marine Apparel FAQ
Before you outfit the crew.
Common questions about fishing shirts, charter apparel, yacht crew uniforms, UPF-rated garments and marine merchandise.
Get a Marine Apparel Quote →Where can I order custom fishing shirts in Charleston, SC?
Palmetto Blended is a Charleston-area custom apparel and branded merchandise company serving fishing charters, captains, yacht crews, marinas, fishing teams and marine businesses. We can help source fishing shirts, performance apparel, selected UPF-rated garments, polos, hats and branded merchandise.
Do you make custom fishing charter shirts?
Yes. Fishing charters can build crew apparel and customer-facing merchandise using long-sleeve performance shirts, tees, hats, polos, hoodies and other appropriate garments. We can also help incorporate a charter logo, boat name, location, target species or other approved artwork.
Do you offer UPF fishing shirts?
We can source select garments with manufacturer-published UPF ratings. UPF protection is product-specific, so tell us that sun protection is a requirement when requesting the quote and we will verify the specifications of the exact garment being considered.
What is UPF and is every performance shirt UPF-rated?
UPF is a rating used for the ultraviolet protection provided by a fabric. Not every performance, microfiber or moisture-management shirt carries the same rating, and some may not have a published UPF rating at all. We do not treat “performance” and “UPF-rated” as interchangeable.
Can you print lightweight microfiber fishing shirts?
Yes, suitable lightweight microfiber or polyester performance garments may be available. Decoration compatibility depends on the specific fabric, garment construction, artwork, color and quantity, so we confirm the production method after the garment is selected.
Can fishing shirts have large back graphics or sponsor logos?
Yes, depending on the garment and decoration method. Large back graphics, chest logos, sleeve placements, sponsor marks and other locations may be possible. Include every required logo and placement when requesting the quote so setup and production requirements can be priced accurately.
Can you create apparel for fishing tournaments and teams?
Yes. We can help plan fishing team and tournament apparel including performance shirts, hats, crew gear, sponsor-logo layouts and merchandise for participants or supporters. Send sponsor artwork early whenever possible because the number and location of logos can affect the design and decoration method.
Do you make yacht crew uniforms and captain apparel?
Yes. Yacht crews, captains, marinas and guest-facing marine businesses can use embroidered polos, performance shirts, hats, quarter-zips and other branded layers. We can help create a product mix by role while keeping the overall logo treatment and brand presentation consistent.
Can you embroider boat logos on polos and hats?
Yes, when the artwork and selected product are appropriate for embroidery. We review the logo, placement and product construction and can advise whether embroidery or another decoration method will produce the best result.
Can a charter order different apparel for the crew and for customers?
Absolutely. In many cases that is the better approach. Crew apparel can be selected around performance and working conditions, while retail or guest merchandise can be selected around comfort, style and perceived value.
Can marine companies set up recurring crew orders?
For qualifying recurring programs, Palmetto Blended can discuss an approved product lineup and a managed Company Store structure for crew, staff or location apparel. The right setup depends on team size, reorder frequency and program requirements.
What is the minimum order for custom marine apparel?
Standard screen printing and embroidery projects typically begin at 24 pieces per design. Product-specific minimums and decoration requirements may also apply. Send us your quantity, garments and artwork and we can recommend the most appropriate route.
How far ahead should I order for charter season or a fishing tournament?
As early as reasonably possible. Product availability, artwork, sponsor approvals, quantity, decoration method and production volume can all affect timing. Give us the actual date you need the finished apparel in hand when requesting your quote.
Ready to Outfit the Boat, Crew or Brand?
Bring us the logo. Tell us how the gear gets used.
Send the crew size, product ideas, artwork, working conditions and in-hands date. We'll help narrow fishing shirts, UPF-rated options, polos, hats and branded marine merchandise around the actual job.
UPF protection varies by garment. Any stated UPF rating should be verified against the manufacturer specifications for the exact product selected. Apparel is not a substitute for other recommended sun-protection practices.
