Boat Number Decals Ontario - TC Compliant

Order Transport Canada compliant boat number decals in Ontario. Correct 3-inch sizing and contrasting colours.

The Core Regulations

Don't risk a fine for improper boat numbers. Transport Canada strictly enforces the 75mm (3-inch) height rule and contrast requirements for PCL numbers. Learn the exact specifications for your Boat Number Decals in Ontario, materials that survive the marine environment, and where to place them on your hull.

Why Compliance Matters

Operating a pleasure craft that needs a Pleasure Craft Licence (PCL) without one, and failing to display the PCL number as required by the Small Vessel Regulations, are two separate offences under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001. Operating an unlicensed pleasure craft carries a $250 fine; failing to properly display or maintain the licence number is a separate $100 offence. Don't let a missing decal ruin your weekend on the water.
