Boat club polo shirts are the workhorse of any club apparel program. Polos read well in the clubhouse, on the dock, and at the post-race dinner. Bear Grips Pro Shops embroiders the club burgee or logo onto performance polos and cotton pique polos in classic colors, with no minimum order. Each member orders their own polo in their own size and receives it at home in about a week.
The three polos that consistently sell in boat club and yacht club stores:
For the full polo selection visit the polo category.
Boat clubs and yacht clubs almost always choose embroidery over print on polos. Embroidery sits flush in the fabric, holds up through years of washing, and reads as more formal than a printed logo. The burgee or club crest goes on the left chest in standard polo embroidery position.
Print on polos is an option for clubs that want a larger graphic across the back (regatta event polos, anniversary year designs, port-of-call polos). Most regular member polos stay with chest-side embroidery on a classic color base.
Pricing for embroidery is built into the polo base price. There is no additional setup fee or per-stitch charge. The price is the same whether the club orders 1 polo or 100.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The classic boat club polo palette runs through three or four colors:
Most clubs stock the store with 2 to 4 polo colors, embroidered with the same burgee on each. Members pick the color they want at checkout.
Some clubs run a polo-only store for the formal dress code, then add tees and hats later. The setup is the same:
Members order their polo in their own size, the polo is embroidered and shipped from a US print partner, and the member receives it in about a week. The club director earns margin on every sale.
Sailing clubs and yacht clubs use the same polo platform but lean toward different fabrics. Active sailing clubs (community sailing programs, dinghy clubs, regatta teams) usually pick the Sport-Tek performance polo: lighter, faster-drying, designed for movement on a boat. Yacht clubs and cruising clubs more often pick the Gildan cotton pique polo: heavier, more formal, fits the clubhouse dining-room aesthetic.
Many clubs stock both. The performance polo as the regatta polo or summer-cruise polo. The cotton pique as the formal member polo. Members pick the right tool for the event.
