Skipjack's yacht bell- the finest nautical brass ship's bell on the market.

In our book a bell is all about the sound that it makes when struck. We've carried hundreds of bells through the years; both old and new and this particular bell rates with the best. A great bell creates a high quality, long lasting tone when struck, similar to a fine musical instrument. The majority of  bells on the market today looks great, but sounds like a child's toy or even as bad as an inverted can. Be choosy about what you adorn on your boat or home. This is it!

You can also dress it up with one of Skipjacks hand-tied fancy ropework bell lanyards- perfect for the finely fitted yacht and nautical home.
