- Purchase a yacht captain's hat from an online captain's uniform store. These stores sell captain hats, epaulets and other uniform pieces required of a captain. These web-based stores specialize only in captain's uniforms and hats. They are well-versed in what hats are required for a yacht captain, so they are very helpful in guiding someone who needs assistance in selecting the proper hat.
- Visit a marine store to find a yacht captain's hat. Marine stores are often found in towns bordering the shoreline and carry hard and soft goods needed by the boating class. You may have to special order the cap if the stores don't carry the hat in stock. This wait can be anywhere from one week to six weeks, depending on the level of customization required on your captain's hat.
- Visit a local yacht club to find a yacht captain's hat. These on-location stores sell boating supplies, clothing and hats related to boating right at the marina. Prices may be more expensive since the audience is more captive, but for convenience, you can't beat it. You may have to be a member of the yacht club to access this store, so call ahead of time before trying to visit it.
