Nautical Signal Flags (a.k.a.) Nautical Alphabet
Signal Flags have carried meaning at sea for centuries, turning color and pattern into clear communication. This page brings the tradition to life with nautical alphabet flags that spell out names, coordinates, and short phrases, making them perfect for boats, homes, gifts… and of course flag poles! Whether you are outfitting a boat, marking a dock, or adding coastal decor, Signal Flags offer nautical style with purpose.
Our collection follows the International Code of Signals. Each lettered flag, when flown solo, also corresponds to a standardized meaning; for example, the “A” or ALPHA flag means diver down, and “C” CHARLIE flag means affirmative. Signal Flags work well as single statement pieces (framed, or the straight-up flag as-is), or as complete words & names that read left to right.
Personalization is simple. Select the characters you need, A to Z plus numerals, then arrange your custom signal flags to spell a family name, kids or grandkids names a vessel name, a harbor, or GPS coordinates. Add spacers for clarity or shop for the Yacht Ensign Flag, the notorious Cocktail Flag or the fun Pirate Flag. If you sail, these boat flags serve double duty; they communicate as "Courtesy Flags" on deck and look sharp at the marina. If you decorate on land, they bring proud maritime heritage indoors and out.

Does framed artwork seem a little 1989? We thought so too! The scroll is an easy way to get your map on the wall and have it looking great.
Hanging your flags is a snap - or shall we say a toggle and loop - just string them together and wah-lah, you're in business.
