Our Curated Vintage Boat & Yacht Print Collection

Vintage Boats & Yachts Wall Art Prints

Sail, hull and harbour, from working boats to racing yachts. Winslow Homer brings the fishermen: a two-masted schooner with its dory, boys wading and boys in a dory, nets being hauled in and a blue boat on still water. John Singer Sargent's Boats and Idle Sails are looser and full of light. Then the portraits of named vessels: the yacht Sappho of New York, the schooner Cambria, the Steamship Victoria, yachts on a summer cruise and a drydock at Durgerdam.

Where our vintage seascapes are about the sea itself, these put the boat at the centre: rigging, canvas and the people who work it. The palette is coastal and settled, with sea blue, sail white, weathered timber and overcast harbour grey.

How to hang them

Boats are mostly landscape, so a single wide yacht portrait sits well above a sofa or a sideboard. Homer's fishing scenes make a strong row of three along a passage or a beach-house living room. Dark Kiaat Look or black frames suit the nautical subjects. Pair them with our vintage sea creatures for a coastal wall.

Each art print in this collection is available as a fine art Giclée print on premium 230gsm ultra-matte paper using archival inks, or as a mounted canvas — a premium imported 260gsm poly-cotton blend stretched over a 35mm Obeche timber frame. Sizes run A4 through to A0, unframed or framed in black, white, Light Oak Look or Dark Kiaat Look, and delivery is free anywhere in South Africa.
