I Require a Tug | Zulu Maritime Signal Flag Tote | Double-Sided Nautical Humor Bag
“Adventure. Elevated.”
This bold, statement-making tote features the official Zulu (Z) maritime signal flag — a vivid combination of red, yellow, blue, and black — used internationally to mean: “I require a tug.”
The message appears on both sides of the bag, accompanied by the high-contrast signal flag known throughout nautical history. Whether you’re maneuvering through harbor life, seaside towns, or just appreciate clever visual design, this tote keeps the message crisp and unmistakable.
It’s perfect for sailors, captains, maritime enthusiasts — or anyone with a deep love of boats and a healthy respect for clarity.
