Yacht Clipart: 30 Designs with Motor Yachts, Sailboats, Speedboats, Catamarans, Silhouettes, Captain and First Mate Sayings and Nautical Motifs

This yacht clipart reads like a vintage seaside holiday poster: clean hulls in navy and cream, coral and teal sails, mustard suns and a few curls of white spray. The boats are drawn in profile with a slight shine on the hull, closer to a travel ad than a cartoon.

Yachts and fast boats

The four motor yachts are a long navy-and-cream flybridge yacht, a cream trawler-style explorer, an orange wooden cabin cruiser and a white flybridge weekender. The speedboats follow the same mood: a navy open-bow boat cutting through spray, a varnished wooden runabout in honey and coral, and a white boat with twin outboard motors and red seats.

Under sail

05 has a coral jib, 06 is a two-masted ketch, 07 leans into the wind behind a teal spinnaker and 08 rests at mooring with its sail furled and a small flag at the stern. 12 is a sailing catamaran with a coral sail and 13 a motor catamaran seen straight from the bow.

Silhouettes, scenes and motifs

14 to 17 drop the color entirely. They are flat navy boat shapes, a streamlined cruiser, a flybridge, a small pilothouse boat and a bow seen head-on, each over a short teal or mustard waterline. They are the simplest pieces in the set to cut. The three scenes put boats in a setting, a yacht under a palm and a low sun, a sailboat passing a lighthouse, and a yacht moored in a quiet cove below a hillside village. The anchor wears a mustard rope, the wheel has mustard spokes around a coral hub, and the life ring is coral and cream.

Captain, First Mate and party badges

Captain of the Day, First Mate Good Times Ahead, Captain of Slow Days and First Mate Same Horizon pair tall navy serif capitals with a coral second line and a small yacht, sailboat or anchor. A Captain and a First Mate design side by side make a matching pair of shirts for a day on the boat. 28 is a shield reading Yacht Party Sunset Crew and 29 a round On Deck to Celebrate badge with a life ring in the middle, ready for a party invitation or a gift tag. 30 is a plain navy line drawing of a motor yacht.

Which file for which job

Use the color PNGs when you want the painted shading on a shirt, mug or card. The guide suggests 10 to 11 inches wide for an adult shirt, 7 to 8 inches for a child and 3 to 4 inches high on a cup. Reach for the SVG, EPS or DXF files when you need clean editable shapes. The monochrome versions mix navy shapes with ink outlines and keep the sail and hull edges instead of filling the whole picture, and the DXF outlines include inner holes. Fine rigging and windows need a larger finished size, so cut a small test in your material first.

Questions

Do the SVG files match the PNGs exactly?

Not exactly. The color PNGs keep the original illustration with its soft shading. The SVG and EPS files redraw each design as vector shapes with converted color tones, so shading, colors and the size of a boat on the canvas can differ a little from the PNG. For the poster look, print the PNG.

Can I add a boat name or a date to the Captain designs?

Yes, as a separate text layer. The lettering in the files is outlined artwork, so type the boat name or date in your own editor and place it under the saying.
