Picking a gift for a towboat captain
A towboat captain spends long stretches on the river pushing barges up and down the system, often with a crew of deckhands and mates, and the hours between locks and landings are long. The gifts that land tend to be practical things they'll reach for on watch or in the galley: a soft tee for off days ashore, a warm hoodie for the cold early-morning pilothouse, a mug that's clearly theirs so it doesn't wander off the boat. Putting the words towboat captain on the front makes the gift about their actual job rather than a generic boat shirt. If you want something more personal, add the name of their vessel or their towing company's river or route on the second line, which is the kind of detail crewmates notice right away. For a whole crew or a retirement send-off, the Team Shop lets you order one design and paste each person's name so everyone gets their own shirt in their own size.
Towboat Captain gift questions
Can I add the name of their boat or company?
Yes. Many designs have a second line. Type the vessel name, company or river there and the preview updates so you can check the spacing before you order.
What's a good gift for a new towboat captain?
A hoodie or mug with their title and the year they earned their license is a good marker of the milestone. It's something they'll keep using on the boat.
Can I order shirts for my whole crew?
Yes. Use the Team Shop: choose one design, paste a list of names and pick a size for each person. Each shirt prints with its own name.
Are there designs for kids in the family?
There are a few kids tee and dark kids tee designs for the towboat captain's title. Use the product filter to see them.
What sizes do the towboat captain shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a towboat captain gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
