Signal Flags, Nautical Alphabet, and Custom Messages
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 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 with a complete meaning, or as tidy sets 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 or line breaks for clarity. If you sail, these boat flags serve double duty; they communicate on deck and look sharp at the marina. If you decorate on land, they bring proud maritime heritage indoors and out.
Quality matters at sea and at home. Durable fabrics (700D polyester printed both sides) and reinforced stitching help Signal Flags keep their shape in wind and sun. Our toggle and loop hanging system makes hanging easy on halyards, hooks, or gallery rails. For a more finished look, select framed options, ideal for nurseries, offices, and coastal kitchens.
Need inspiration? Try these ideas: welcome aboard in flags at the entry, latitude and longitude of a favorite anchorage, anniversary dates in numerals, child initials above a reading nook or crib, or a witty galley message. Short, bold messages read best.
Bring authentic maritime communication into everyday spaces with Signal Flags. From nautical alphabet flags for education to personalized boat flags for real-world use, and custom wall pieces that celebrate your story, these symbols transform language into art while honoring seafaring traditions.
