How the previews work

Upload her photo, verify your email, and generate a watermarked preview in the style you picked. You get three free previews a day. The picture you approve is the one printed: it is kept as the print master, without its watermark, and never generated a second time.

Made by AI from your photo. You see a free watermarked preview before you pay, and nothing prints until you approve it.

  • The frame, black or natural wood. Solid wood profile, shatter-resistant plexiglass: safer than glass on a boat.
  • What you approved is what is framed. The locked portrait is used as it stands, without its watermark, and a size it cannot hold sharply is refused rather than enlarged into softness. Nothing is changed between your approval and the press.
  • UK delivery, 4–9 working days. Made-to-order, shipped tracked in protective packaging.

Where a framed portrait sits on a boat.

A framed portrait asks for a wall that is calm. A bulkhead between saloon and galley, the space above a settee or the end wall of the cabin all work, because you see the piece from a few steps back and again each time you pass. A3 suits a narrow run of panelling. A2 wants a wall you can stand away from, so measure the space before choosing it.

Black or natural wood.

Let the cabin decide. If the interior is painted, with strong colours or signwriting, the black frame draws a clean line round the picture. If it is varnished timber and brass, natural wood sits in the room instead of standing out from it. The frame is the same solid wood and plexiglass either way, so this is purely a question of what already surrounds the wall.

Choosing the photograph to send.

The portrait is built from your picture, so what the photograph shows is what you get back in paint. Send one clear, daylight shot of the whole boat. Check the hull colour is true, the name is readable if you want it readable, and nothing large sits in front of her, such as a hire boat or a tree. Leave a margin round the boat, because a framed piece has a defined edge and a boat pressed against it looks cramped. A tidy mooring with open water behind gives the style something to work with.

Look at the preview with a critical eye before you lock it. Once you do, that portrait is the one that is framed.

Questions before you go

Is the preview the final quality?

The on-screen preview is watermarked and lower-resolution. When you order, we use the exact selected artwork without its watermark before framing.

Glass or plexiglass?

Shatter-resistant plexiglass, not glass: far safer on a boat and in transit.

Returns?

Made-to-order from your photo, so no change-of-mind returns. Arrives damaged? We'll replace it: see our returns page.
