Picking a gift for a tugboat captain
A tugboat captain spends long stretches on the water, guiding container ships in and out of harbor, nudging barges into position and working in weather most people would rather sit out. The gifts that land with them tend to be the practical, unglamorous ones: a hoodie for the cold wheelhouse, a mug that survives a crowded galley, a tee for the days off when they'd rather not talk about the job. What makes a gift feel like it was picked for them is the title. Put tugboat captain on the front and add the harbor they work, the company they run for, or the year they got their license, and it becomes their shirt rather than a generic nautical one. Pick a dark tee if they spend time in the engine room, or a light one if they wear it ashore on a warm afternoon. A mug with their title on it is a small joke only the crew will get, which is usually the best kind.

Yes. Many designs have a second line for a place, a company or a year. Type it in and the live preview shows how it sits under the title before you order.
Is there a version for a tugboat captain's kid?
Yes, there are kids tees in several designs. A small shirt with a parent's job on it is a simple way to show pride in their work.

A hoodie or mug with their title and the year they earned it marks the milestone. It's something they can wear or use on the job every day.
