Yacht Crew Epaulettes and Rank Insignia

In the maritime world, rank is not just a title; it is a responsibility. At Marina Yacht Wear, our Yacht Crew Epaulettes collection provides the definitive symbol of authority for your bridge and interior teams. Whether for a Captain commanding a superyacht or a Chief Engineer managing the engine room, our insignia ensures that hierarchy is displayed with clarity, tradition, and elegance.

The Mark of Professionalism

An epaulette is the finishing touch to a formal uniform. It transforms a standard shirt into an officer's attire. We stock a comprehensive range of rank slides that adhere to Merchant Navy standards, ensuring your crew looks respectful and compliant in any port.

Hard vs. Soft Epaulettes

We understand that different uniforms require different hardware.

• Hard Epaulettes: Designed for formal pilot shirts and blazers. These feature a rigid internal structure that sits flat and sharp on the shoulder, perfect for evening service, guest arrivals, and official port formalities.
• Soft (Slip-On) Epaulettes: Designed for daily wear on polo shirts, sweaters, and softshell jackets. These flexible slides are comfortable for active duty while maintaining the visibility of rank.

Gold & Silver Braid Quality

The quality of the braid matters. Cheap materials tarnish quickly in the salt air. We utilize high-grade Gold and Silver metallic braids that resist oxidation and fading. From the single stripe of a Junior Deckhand to the four stripes and diamond of a Captain, our braid remains bright and authoritative.

Customization & Bespoke Design

While we stock standard generic ranks, we specialize in creating bespoke epaulettes that reflect the unique identity of your vessel.

Custom Logos & Diamond Loops

Elevate your uniform by integrating your yacht’s branding directly onto the epaulette. Our custom embroidery service can replace the standard "diamond" or "propeller" loop with your yacht’s specific logo or emblem. We can also customize the fabric color to match your exact uniform palette, ensuring a seamless look from the shoulder down.

Worldwide Shipping for Global Fleets

Small accessories often go missing or need replacing urgently. Whether you are in the middle of a charter in Croatia or a refit in Florida, our worldwide shipping network ensures your rank insignia arrives quickly via courier. We keep high stock levels of standard Captain, Engineer, and Officer ranks for immediate dispatch.
