Flags for Boats

A flag for your boat is more than a decorative touch—it’s a powerful way to signal tradition, identity, and national pride while out on the water. At Grand New Flags, we offer a full selection of USA flags for boats, nautical flags, marine flags, custom boat flags, and outdoor boat flag poles, all proudly made in the U.S.A. Whether you’re navigating coastal waters, anchoring at a marina, or preparing for a ceremonial outing, our boat flags are designed for performance and presence.

Each flag in our marine collection is crafted to withstand wind, sun, and saltwater exposure. They're not just flags—they're statements of craftsmanship, respect, and reliability. Every purchase also supports our deeper mission: honoring veterans like our founder’s father, Arnold J. Kauppinen, who served two tours in Vietnam. His service—and the service of all those who’ve worn the uniform—is at the heart of what we do.

In that spirit, 5% of all net profits go directly to Dog Tags New York, a nonprofit organization that pairs emotional support dogs with veterans in need. When you fly a Grand New Flags product, you’re not only representing your passion—you’re contributing to a mission rooted in service, gratitude, and patriotism.

Marine & Nautical Flags Built for Life on the Water

Available in a variety of designs—from national symbols to service branches—they’re a perfect finishing touch to any vessel.

Marine Flags: Tradition Meets Function

Marine flags carry a long-standing tradition of communication and honor at sea. We offer U.S. Ensigns, POW/MIA flags, and service branch banners that are perfect for official use or personal pride. Each flag is made from marine-grade materials with reinforced stitching and brass grommets.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are your boat flags made specifically for marine use?

Yes. Our boat and marine flags are constructed from materials suited for harsh marine conditions. They are UV-resistant, quick-drying, and reinforced to resist fraying and tearing, even in strong wind and saltwater exposure.

What sizes do boat flags come in?

Standard boat flag sizes range from 12" x 18" to 24" x 36", depending on your vessel size and flagpole location. For stern poles, smaller flags are typical, while mast or halyard-mounted flags can be larger.

2. Can I design my own custom flag for my boat?

Absolutely. We offer fully custom boat flag services. Submit your artwork or logo and we’ll help you bring it to life on a durable, marine-grade flag made in the U.S.A.

3. What’s the proper way to fly a U.S. flag on a boat?

On recreational boats, the U.S. ensign (flag) is traditionally flown at the stern (rear) on a pole, from 8:00 a.m. until sunset while underway or anchored. It should always be the highest-priority flag on board, flown in a position of honor.

4. Do you offer flagpole mounts or hardware for boats?

Yes. We carry a variety of marine flagpole mounts, including stern pole holders, rail mounts, and grommet-style connectors. Each product is tested for strength, salt resistance, and secure fit.

5. Are your boat flags made in the U.S.A.?

Yes. Just like all products at Grand New Flags, our boat and marine flags are 100% made in the U.S.A. Supporting American manufacturing is one of our core values and we never compromise on quality.
