HarborSPEC was built out of over a decade operating tugboats in New York Harbor. After years of watching stickers peel and laminated sheets yellow in the wheelhouse, I wanted something that is professional — so I started making my own.

After the first plaques went up on my own boat, other operators on the water started asking about them. HarborSPEC was born.

Every plaque is made from PETG-CF carbon fiber composite with fully raised text — not printed on, not laminated, built into the material. It holds up in the marine environment because it was designed for it.

The wheelhouse on a tugboat is a workspace. The information posted matters. It should look like it matters too.

HarborSPEC is built for working vessels — tugs, ferries, OSVs, fishing boats, any vessel where the crew relies on the posted information.
