Benford Yacht Hat® has brought the
classic Captain's Hat back to market!
Own a beautifully handcrafted Benford Yacht Hat® -- because you are worth it!
Classic style loved by boaters (and
non-boaters) worldwide
and worn by Humphrey Bogart,
Gilligan's Island "The Skipper",
Clark Gable, and Elvis Presley and thousands of others !
The traditional crossed anchor/life ring emblem is
Hand-Embroidered using Gold Bullion Wire,
NOT a machine-made sewn-on patch.
Your black Captain's hat is available in 11 sizes for a perfect fit.
Definitely NOT a one-size-fits-all Costume Hat!
This is NOT a stiff, military looking hat, but designed for a more casual appearance. Hat is made of a poly blend, foam- backed for body and flotation (in the event it goes overboard)
If you wish to create a more military look, add a small thin piece of plastic inside the hat behind the crossed anchor embroidery and secure it with a small pin in the center of the embroidery, such as an American flag or one representing the military or a service organization.

I wholeheartedly recommend your yacht hats to anyone looking for this classic style hat. Simply put, if you love quality, you will love the Benford Yacht Hat!®” Glen Rappold
"Waiting for Gilligan and the Castaways";-) The hat arrived today and it's "the real deal", as expected. Great quality, awesome service and right price..... can one ask for more! Many thanks." T. Hannum
"Thank you. The hat is perfect. And you give the best customer support. Made the entire process easy and hassle free. A hearty blessing in all your journeys." Mike Lupo
"I purchased this cap yesterday at the St. Petersburg boat show. The quality justifies the price. The materials and construction are to a U. S. Navy uniform standard. Look closely at the gold wire insignia. The anchor ring is a different stitch from the shank, and the chain links are actually interlocked. It’s a three-dimensional miniature work of art. You get what you pay for, my lads." Lee Craig
"I have been thinking about my new Benford Yacht Hat® and why it is important to me to have this quality chapeau. For my life experiences and fond memories were most always accompanied by me wearing one of my favorites hats and I want my Benford Yacht Hat® to be part of me on my adventures.
My surviving and most endearing hats still vividly evoke the memories of past good times. Again reminding me too that I still have more roads to travel, more water to go under the keel and why I welcome my new Benford Yacht Hat® to my chosen assemblage of my favored hats. And Lastly, most importantly I shall hope my new Benford Hat® will become my most favorite as it’s the water that makes me tick and this hat fits that bill!" Fair winds, Captain Richard C. Sturgill, Steam Launch "Gizmo"
“I just wanted to drop you a line about my hat. It's by far the best hat I've ever had! I plan on getting another one but I'm giving it some time to see how it settles in, to see if I want to go with the same size or not. I'm working with it to get the shape I like, and I'll shoot you a picture so you can see what I'm doing with it. I did take your advice about a stretcher, which I keep in it when it's not on my head. The more I wear it the more comfortable it becomes. The workmanship really is top notch! It's worth every penny! Thanks for bringing back this hat! I'll be in touch.” Mark W.
“After a workout and running a few errands today, I stopped at my mailbox. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I found a key for one of the oversized boxes in my mailbox. And it only got better as I retrieved the box, took it to my apartment and opened it up. The hat is even more terrific than I hoped. It fits great, as I had a whisper of concern due to previous hats from other online merchants that didn't live up to their purported size. Not so here. Your product exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for not only a wonderful hat but great customer service. My deepest appreciation,” Steve Melchin
“My wife bought me this hat a couple of weeks ago. I always wear a hat and have all my life. I have an extensive collection but this is by far the best and most favorite I have ever owned. Thank you for making such a fine product.” Nat Manning
“I can't possibly add anything to all those exuberant comments of so many of your past customers that hasn't already been said more than once. This is definitely a no-nonsense real-deal hat of absolutely wonderful quality and workmanship. It's certainly worth every nickel, but I don't think you can express the real value of a thing like that in dollars and cents.
What happened to all those classics that used to be commonplace in the old times? Vintage stuff and vintage people: both are going to just die out eventually, leaving behind a world populated by people with pants too short, jackets too tight, and base caps...” Peter Starkmann
“There are many other, cheaper yacht caps. This one is the real deal man! If your interested in owning a true yachtsman’s cap this one is it! I absolutely love it.” John Kustuch
