Deputy Sheriff Riverboat Patch — Order This Six-Point Star River Design
Design S1542A at a glance
A badge-cut patch with a navy merrowed edge, built around a gold six-point sheriff star that frames a riverboat moving along a river. Red, gold and navy give it a bold, almost patriotic palette. Two lettering lines — a unit name above and a deputy sheriff line below — keep the layout clean and leave the riverboat scene room to breathe.

About this riverboat six-point star design
River country has its own law enforcement history, and a riverboat inside a sheriff star tells it in one image. The star is the office; the boat and water are the territory. The design suits a river patrol or marine unit, but also any sheriff's office whose county grew up along a waterway. Red, gold and navy keep it bold enough to read from across a dock.
Customize it before it stitches: rename the unit line for a marine, river or lake patrol, letter the lower line for your office, or redraw the riverboat as your own patrol boat from a photo. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Deputy sheriff riverboat patch questions
Can the riverboat become our actual patrol boat?
Yes. Send a side-on photo of your boat and we redraw it inside the star at no art charge. The mockup shows the new boat on the river before anything is made.
Can we use this for a marine unit rather than a river patrol?
Yes. Rename the top line for your marine or river patrol, and swap the boat for a modern hull if you prefer. The star and water stay.
Is PVC better for life vests?
For anything that gets soaked, yes — PVC sheds water and won't fade. Order embroidered sleeve patches and a PVC set for vests in one quote.
Can the star be silver instead of gold?
Yes. Silver or metallic silver thread works well against navy. Preview both in the markup tool before you quote.
How do I send changes for this design?
In the quote form, open the markup tool to circle the boat or star, pin numbered notes and try colorways. The marked-up design attaches to your request.
