A premium, American-made captain’s hat crafted for those who value tradition, quality, and timeless nautical style.
The Benford Yacht Hat® is a handcrafted, heirloom-quality nautical hat made in the United States using traditional techniques that date back over a century.

Designed for comfort, durability, and classic maritime style, often associated with traditional captain’s and skipper hats, each Benford Yacht Hat® features premium materials, a fully lined interior, and authentic gold bullion embroidery.

Whether worn on the water, displayed as part of a collection, or given as a meaningful gift, the Benford Yacht Hat represents craftsmanship you can see and quality you can feel.
Not mass-produced. Not a costume. The real thing.
Inspired by traditional captain’s hats worn for generations, the Benford Yacht Hat® continues that legacy with modern craftsmanship.
The Benford Yacht Hat® is trusted by yacht owners, nautical enthusiasts, and collectors who appreciate genuine American-made goods. With nine precise sizes for a tailored fit and a design built to last for years—even to float if dropped overboard—it stands apart from mass-produced alternatives.

Why a Benford Yacht Hat® Stands Apart

  •  Hand-embroidered with genuine gold bullion — not a patch, not machine-made
  • Made in the USA using premium quality materials with a fully lined interior
  • Structured for comfort and durability — holds its shape voyage after voyage
  • A distinguished gift for captains, boaters, and those who appreciate true craftsmanship
  • Timeless style and heritage — not a trend, made to be worn and remembered
This is Not a Novelty Hat.
This is an Heirloom Piece.
