California is unique in that it can be considerably different weather in different parts of the state. Regardless, there are some great boating destinations. The only catch, if you purchase a boat in California make sure it meets the state registration number guidelines. We have that information below along with an easy to use designer that walks you through purchasing.
We'll guide you through the process of creating California boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the California specific section below. The general requirements for boat registrations numbers are as follows:
Please review your state specific requirements before purchasing identification decals as they do vary from state to state. Our designer is setup to comply with the general requirements above. If you require a specific requirement not in our designer, just leave a comment at checkout and we'll adust your design (no big deal!). Located on the official California state DMV site is the exact state requirements. We've linked to them Here.

Great product and the color selection is spot on for my Old Town Sportsman 106 MK Kayak! The install kit was definitely worth the extra cost. Shipping was ridiculously fast! Thanks for an awesome product.
The decals were of perfect quality and a 95% color match to the factory Gator Tail logo red.
Very easy to install and looks great
Great product, delivered on time. Easy to install when using the installation spray, and letter sealer.
Great product and delivered on time. Easy installation with the spray and sealer.
Turned out perfect. The team even helped me to get everything right for a black backdrop.
Was worried there would be pixelation after enlarging so much…none whatsoever. Turned out better than I anticipated!
These are perfect, the rounded option made it even better.
Great Product
Installation is a breeze , you can see it and place it before installation and know its where you want it before you ever stick it to the boat.
Very happy with it. Came out great
