Historical Context
The Cocktail Pennant is a modern boating social signal, born in the 1950s–60s during the golden age of yachting and tiki culture. Flying the cocktail flag from the starboard spreader announces that drinks are being served and guests are welcome to join the party. It’s the nautical equivalent of “the bar is open!” and remains a beloved tradition at marinas worldwide.
Flag Features
The nylon pole heading ensures durability, while brass grommets provide secure halyard or boat attachment. Perfect for sunset cruises, raft-ups, or marina happy hours, this emblem celebrates the good life and is proudly made in the USA with superior craftsmanship. Its crisp stitching and vibrant colors deliver party-ready performance, ideal for showcasing cocktail pride. Pair with a starboard spreader for authentic etiquette.
