This American Flag with thirteen stripes and fifty stars is constructed as the specified "civil ensign" of the United States in proper design and proportion. It will serve American yachts as the U.S. National Ensign, and in such capacity, this flag can be flown at the stern of an American vessel. It also serves as a visitor's flag or courtesy flag (commercial ensign) on yachts visiting American waters.

As a gesture of courtesy, cruisers visiting the U.S. should fly this flag as a visitor flag when they enter and operate in American waters. Generally, cruising yachts under 60-feet select 12" x 18" or 12" x 24" sized flags. Larger yachts may select 16" x 24" or larger flags. There is no size requirement, so if you prefer the look of a larger flag then fly it, but make sure that it clears a 360° fly from your spreader halyards (sailboat/powerboat) or bow (powerboat) or that flag will soon be in tatters.

As noted in Chapman's Piloting, a visitor flag is normally NOT hoisted until the vessel is properly cleared by customs and immigration. Until clearance is complete, fly the yellow Q (quarantine) flag.

Other visitor flags are available on this website for many cruiser destinations. Please call us if you need to special order for any country you cannot find here.
