Hull CardsBoat trading card questions
What is a Hull Card?
A standard-size trading card (2.5 by 3.5 inches) of your boat: your photo and her name on the front, the specs and your hailing port on the back, with a numbered holographic seal.
Where do the boat details come from?
From you. There's no public registry to look boats up in, so you type them. If what you type matches a builder or model we know, we offer to fill in the rest, and you can say no.
Is it safe to put my hull ID on a card?
We only print the first three characters (the builder code) and the last four, never the full number.
What kinds of boats?
Anything with a name: center consoles, bowriders, fishing boats, ski boats, cruisers, yachts, trawlers, sailboats, catamarans, pontoons and personal watercraft.
How much do they cost?
From $10 for a single card to $110 for 100 of the same design, plus shipping.
When will my cards ship?
These are preorders. We print every card ourselves in the USA, and they ship November 2026.
Can I use any photo?
Use a photo you took or have permission to use. We print it as you place it in the preview.
Is Hull Cards related to Tail Cards?
Yes. Hull Cards is the sister brand of Tail Cards, which makes trading cards for airplanes. Same printing, same seal, same team.
