Custom Burgee Flags
Burgee Flags for Yacht Clubs and Nautical Identity
Burgee flags are most commonly used in sailing and boating communities to represent yacht clubs, racing teams, and marina affiliations. Their swallowtail design allows for clear visibility while maintaining a compact, wind-responsive shape.
Unlike Custom Triangle Flags, which are primarily used for decoration, burgee flags carry specific identity and symbolic meaning in nautical contexts.
Durable Polyester Fabric for Marine and Outdoor Use
Burgee flags are made from high-tensile polyester designed to perform in outdoor and marine environments. The material offers strong resistance to wind, UV exposure, and moisture.
Dye-sublimation printing ensures vivid color and long-lasting durability, even under harsh outdoor conditions.
Standard Sizes for Marine and Display Applications
Burgee flags are available in six standard sizes to match different use cases:
1.5' × 1' – Ideal for small boats or decorative use
3' × 2' – Common for personal or small club flags
5' × 3' – Suitable for medium-sized boats or display areas
6' × 4' – Designed for larger vessels or event use
8' × 5' – High-visibility option for outdoor display
10' × 6' – Maximum visibility for large-scale installations
These sizes are optimized for typical marine and event applications. Custom sizing is not available.
Flexible Mounting Options for Rope and Pole Systems
Burgee flags can be mounted using pole pockets or reinforced grommets, making them compatible with ropes, hooks, and flagpole systems.
This allows flexible installation on boats, docks, event structures, or display setups.
Common Uses for Nautical and Identity Displays
Burgee flags are widely used for yacht clubs, sailing teams, marinas, and boating events. They are also used for themed events and decorative installations where a traditional flag style is desired.
Their compact size and symbolic meaning make them ideal for representing identity rather than large-scale advertising.

Flag Care & Storage
Cleaning: Gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, most polyester fabrics can be machine-washed with cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
Drying: Air-dry by laying the banner flat or hanging it. Do not tumble-dry, as heat can affect the print and fabric texture.
Storage: Roll the banner with the print side facing outward to avoid creasing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Handling: Always handle with clean hands and avoid dragging the fabric on rough surfaces to prevent abrasion or snags.
