What Is a Good Boat Name? Over 200 of the Best Boat Names

12th mar 2024 by samantha wilson.

Naming your boat is one the most fun and enjoyable parts of new boat ownership. Finding that perfect name that suits your boat and you as well, isn’t always easy, and while some people have a beloved name in mind for years before they buy, for others it takes a few weeks of thought and research to pick the right one. 

There are so many different types of boat out there, and each one has its own unique personality. Just like its owner. So what makes the best boat name? Traditionally, boat names revolved around ways to bring luck to a vessel and these were often the names of gods. Today boat naming is more of an “anything goes” exercise, and you could choose an elegant, classic name, one that’s tongue-in-cheek, cool and edgy name, or even use the name of a loved one.

Here we have chosen some of our favorite names in different categories to provide you with some inspiration for boat name ideas. 

Elegant Boat Names

Boats are beautiful creations, so using an equally beautiful or elegant name can bring a sense of romanticism to sailing. Whether it’s a delicate girls’ name, a whimsical phrase, or one of the traditional deities of yesteryear, you’ll honor the beauty of your boat and inspire yourself and others to explore the oceans. 

• Amazing Grace
• Graceful Dancer
• Endless Summer

Creative Boat Names

There are some seriously creative boat names out there, and if you prefer something a bit more funky and edgy then you could consider some of the names below. Playing on words works well, but so does choosing dramatic names, such as those that inspire adventure or swashbuckling escapades. 

• The Black Pearl
• Vitamin Sea
• Frayed Knot
• KaleidoCraft
• Mindful Mariner
• Mosaic Maritime

Funny Boat Names

Want your boat to match your sense of humor? Consider a boat name that will raise a smile from everyone you cruise past. As you’ll see below, there is a fine line between funny and crude, so consider where you’re going to store it (a swanky marina might not appreciate anything too risqué), or the friends you’ll be entertaining. But there are many truly funny names that will make you chuckle every time you go aboard and bring you even more enjoyment from your boat. Some of our favorites include:

• Goin’ Broke
• Ship Happens
• Passing Wind
• Chicken Ship
• That Sinking Feeling
• I Ship You Knot
• Miss Behavior
• Fishful Thinkin’
• Knot So Fast
• Sea-duction
• Sea Ya Later
• Knot on Call

Cool Boat Names

Let’s be honest, owning a boat is downright cool, so why not name your boat something equally hip? Or look to music lyrics or the name of your favorite movie. There are hip phrases in popular culture that would stand out, as well as cool phrases that bring a sense of cool ocean or a beach vibe. We like these ultra-cool names:

• Time of My Life
• Wave Runner
• The Sloop Doggy Dog
• Arctic Breeze
• Shadow Surfer
• Thunder Tide
• Solar Sailer

Classy Boat Names

Like the elegant boat names above, there are some classically classy boat names that will never go out of style. They can be anything from beautiful words, to words describing an emotion, or even Latin boat names. Here are some truly classy boat names:

• Serendipity
• Rhapsody in Blue
• Southern Cross

Female Boat Names

In the past, boats were referred to as female, and referencing them as ‘she’ was the norm. While these days it isn’t as common, there are still those who prefer a classic female name for their boat. Using ‘Lady’ in front of a name has always been a popular choice, and elegant-sounding names are also commonly used. Here are some to get you inspired:

• Lady Godiva
• Sea Goddess
• Gypsy (or Gypsea)
• Little Mermaid / Ariel
• Island Girl
• Siren of the Sea

Witty Boat Names

Boaters are a fun bunch, and nowhere is this more evident in some of the extremely witty names they come up with for their boats. Being clever with nautical words opens a whole world of fun names. Write a list of boating words and see what you can make out of them. Alternatively, choose one from this list of witty boat names that got us laughing: 

• She Got the House
• Breakin Wind
• Pier Pressure
• Docks Orders
• Bankrupt Sea
• A Loan at Sea
• Seas the Day
• Fishful Thinking
• Knot Normal
• Seas the Moment
• Reel-axation
• Fishin’ Impossible

Family Boat Names

If your boat is a true family boat, then you’ll want a name that everyone likes, from the youngest members of the family up to the adults. Family boat names are usually wholesome, and they can be fun or funny, inspiring, happy, and positive. Try to avoid names from current TV series or things that will date quickly. As the kids grow up you might regret naming your boat Olaf!

• The Good Life
• Dream Catcher
• Family Affair
• Island Time
• Seabound Memories
• Family Tides
• Free Spirit
• Looney Tunes
• Oar Inspiring
• College Fund

Nature-Inspired Boat Names

Nature has long inspired boat names and the list of strong, elegant, or beautiful nature-based boat names is endless. The ocean provides a huge amount of inspiration, but so does the sky and space, wildlife and birds, and even the weather. While nature-inspired names are often pretty and delicate, you could also opt for stronger names if they suit your style of boat. Here are some to consider;

• Blue Moon 
• Wave Dancer

Fishing Boat Names

Now when it comes to fishing boats, the world is your oyster for boat names. You can go with witty and clever, laugh-out-loud funny, naughty, optimistic, or cool. Plays on words work well for fishing boat names and particularly bass boat names, and there is a wealth of material to use. We found it hard to choose 10 of the best, but these are the ones our team liked the best;

• Fish and Chicks
• Reel Naughty
• The Codfather
• Off the Hook
• Get Your Fish On
• Captain Hook
• Happy Hooker

Italian Boat Names

Italian is the language of love, and every word sounds romantic and beautiful. So it’s no surprise that people have used Italian names for their boats for centuries. When choosing an Italian (or any foreign word) for your boat name, be sure to check with several sources the exact meaning so you don’t end up with a name that doesn’t mean quite what you thought it did. Here are some truly beautiful Italian boat names;

• Vita Bella (Beautiful Life)
• Pura Vita (Pure Life)
• Bella Luna (Beautiful Moon)
• Azzuro (Blue/Azure)
• Fortuna (Fortune)
• Silenzio (Silence)
• Allegria (Happiness)
• Amore Mio (My Love)
• Mare Nostrum (Our Sea)
• La Perla (The Pearl)
• Lido Azzurro (Blue Beach)
• Isolabella (Beautiful Island)
• Amore Afloat (Love Afloat)
• Infinito (Infinite)
• Dolcezza (Sweetness)

Sailing Boat Names

Sailboats harness the true power of the ocean and the wind, and therefore popular boat names often include the word ‘wind’ or a reference to the waves. There are so many beautiful names you can choose for your sailboat ; these are a few of the ones we love:

• Sloop John B.
• Second Wind
• Wind Breaker
• Summer Wind
• Gone with the Wind
• Wind Dancer
• Wind Whisperer
• Sail Me to the Moon
• Sail Serenade
• Nomad Sailing
• Sailor's Star

River or Lake Boat Names

If your boat is going to spend most or all of its life on a lake or river, then you might want to honor that in its name. By adding the word ‘river’ or ‘lake’ there is an infinite amount of pretty, fun, or clever names you can come up with that will suit the style of boat and your family. Try something along these lines:

• River Gypsy
• Pearl River
• Better Lake Than Never
• Lake A Wish
• Lake Runner
• Lake Escape
• Lake Dancer
• Lagoon Lyric
• Loch Lullaby
• Lakeside Lull
• River Whisper

Hawaiian Boat Names

In the same way that Italian names make for beautiful boat names, so too do Hawaiian words or phrases. Everything about Hawaii is linked to the sea, and its people have always been mariners and seafarers. In addition, the islands themselves offer an abundance of natural beauty, and the language is simply beautiful. Combine all that and you have the recipe for some memorable boat names:

• Manu Ihu (Bird of the Waves) 
• Lele Kawa (Waters of Joy)
• Kaiona (Victorious Sea)
• Nā Pali (The Cliffs) 
• Wai Nani (Beautiful Waters)
• Nā Hōkū (The Stars) 
• Holo Nalu (Wave Rider)
• Kai Lani (Heavenly Sea)
• Kikoa (Brave One)
• Hōkū Nui (Great Star)  
• Waikiki Waltz
• Kona Cruise
• Molokai Vibes

Banned Boat Names

According to the US Coast Guard the name of your boat “may not be identical, actually or phonetically, to any word or words used to solicit assistance at sea; may not contain or be phonetically identical to obscene, indecent, or profane language, or to racial or ethnic epithets.”   While the rule is strict when it comes to emergency words such as those in the list below, it is easier to get around some of the more profane names by using clever play-on words – if that’s your thing!

• Coast Guard
• Man Overboard

50 Creative Boat Names for Vessels of All Colors, Shapes, and Sizes

Prepare for music references and puns.

If you’re in the market to buy a boat, you’ll quickly learn that so many things go into finding, establishing, and maintaining a pristine vessel. For starters, you have to think about the type of recreational boat you envision yourself exploring in. Do you want a sailboat to feel like you’re one with nature? Or perhaps the idea of a speed boat sounds particularly invigorating. Of course, if you plan to take weekend- or week-long vacations, a cabin cruiser will likely be your best bet. Once you narrow down which type of boat to buy, it’s time to think about the different design elements you want present in your water rig. Where some boats come fully decked out with beautiful upholstery and a freshly painted hull, others (typically of the used variety) need a little extra TLC. While all of these decisions may require a lot of time, energy, and resources, there’s one boat decision that allows captains and cruisers to get creative without spending a dime: naming your boat.

Before hastily buying a sign or engraving of the first name you think of for your boat, take a moment to research the best boat names—including a variety of creative boat names inspired by music, movies, pop culture, and more. Or, better yet, keep reading for 50 of our favorite picks.

The Cleverest Names for Your Boat from A to Z

My, she sure is yar.

Whether it's for rest and relaxation or fishing and water sports, there are few things better than taking to the high seas. If you're like many others, buying a boat is a long-dreamt-of goal. The decision to purchase a boat is a big one, but picking the name? Now that's a huge decision. Should it be playful or meaningful? Clever or cryptic? The choice is all yours, and it's a choice you probably want to take some time making. From the iconic names of super-yachts to sea-worthy puns, we’ve rounded up the most chic, popular, and all around classic handles. You've got options.

If you want to keep your boat's name short and sweet, a strong name like Abyss or Andiamo ("Let's go") will surely do the trick. Or might we suggest something sillier, like Aquaholic ?

A cleverly crafted phrase like Black Pearl or Bankers Hours makes a statement without having to say too much. If it's more of a booze cruise you seek, Bottoms Up or Bacchus , for the Roman god of wine, are solid choices.

Something to keep in mind when naming your boat– no matter how big or small the name is you choose– is what it will look like on a hat or jacket for you and your crew. Classic names like Calypso or Carpe Diem sound as good as they look.

From Destiny to Dream Weaver there are tons of ways to demonstrate how much your boat means to you through its name.

A funny pun like Fish Tales or Fantasea as a name is sure to make you friends around the marina.

Boats are commonly referred to as 'she' and given feminine names, which many historians originated from the role of goddesses and mothers who were though to protect a ship’s voyage. Y ou can go with a common one, like Gemma, or choose a name with personal significance to safeguard your travels just as well, according to the superstition.

You are sure to have many memories of relaxation and good times on your boat and its name should reflect that. Onboard Happy Hours or Hakuna Matata , spirits are bound to be high.

With a name like Island Time you'll automatically switch to vacation mode when you board your vessel.

Want to feel like royalty? Take a cue from Queen Elizabeth and her yacht Jubilee . The regal name will have you ruling the high seas in no time.

A witty phrase that interchanges "knot" and "not" is great for a light-hearted and jovial boat name–and there's no better time for a nautical pun. Our favorites include Knot Working and Knot on Call, but feel free to let your creative juices flow!

Show off your sense of humor with something like Liquid Asset , or your sunny attitude with License to Chill or Life is Good .

A popular trend for boat names is translating a phrase into another language. Brazilian businessman, Alexandre Grendene Bartelle, used the French pronoun for 'miss' when naming his super-yacht, Madame Kate, while others have used the word Mahalo, which translates to thank you in Hawaiian.

Reference the past with names like North Star (which sailors historically used as guidance on long voyages) or Neptune’s Glory , alluding to the Roman god of the sea. Maybe you'd prefer to opt for something a little more zen, like Nirvana , Namaste , No Worries , or No Regrets .

When in doubt, a short and strong word goes very far– Ohana , Oasis , Orion , Obsession , Osprey , and Odyssey are all powerful options for your boat’s name.

You know what they say: money talks. People love to use financial terms for their yacht names. Principal Interest is just one of many different monetary puns that you could use.

Attaching a special meaning to your boat is one of the best things about being able to name it. A name like Querencia, which refers to a place where a person feels authentically like themselves, is a great way to ensure your boat's name is sentimental.

No one would be able to turn down an afternoon aboard the Rum Runner, as it sounds like a guaranteed good time.

For a classic and timeless name, there are a great deal of sea phrases to choose such as Sea Spirit or Second Wind . Names that play on words, such as Sea Senora or Seas the Day are quality names, too. T he options are as wide as the horizon.

Another route is to give your boat a name with a double entendre. Playful picks like The Good Life, Therapy, or Time Out are fun and don't take themselves too seriously. If you're Margaritaville-bound, we particularly like The Salt Shaker .

Do’s and Don’ts

Here are some key do’s and don’ts to consider when choosing a name for a boat:

• Do make it personal: Choose a boat name that reflects your personality, interests, or something meaningful to you.
• Do consider the boat’s purpose: Think about the primary use of the boat and choose a name that aligns with it.
• Do keep it short and easy to pronounce: A concise and clear name is memorable and easy for others to understand.
• Do choose a unique name: Stand out from the crowd by selecting a boat name that is distinctive and not commonly used.
• Do consider nautical or boating themes: Incorporate elements related to the sea, sailing, or boating to add a touch of nautical charm to the name.
• Do check for offensive or inappropriate connotations: Ensure the chosen name does not have any unintended negative or offensive associations.
• Do consider wordplay or clever puns: A witty or clever boat name can make it more memorable and fun.
• Do check for existing boat names: Research to make sure the name you choose is not already in use to avoid confusion.
• Don’t choose a generic name: Avoid generic or overused boat names that may blend in with others on the water.
• Don’t select a name that is difficult to spell or pronounce: Keep it simple and avoid complex or hard-to-pronounce names.
• Don’t choose a name that is too long: Long names can be challenging to read and remember.
• Don’t use offensive or controversial language: Stay away from any names that may be offensive, controversial, or inappropriate.
• Don’t limit yourself to trends: While trendy names may seem appealing at the moment, they can quickly become outdated.
• Don’t forget to consider future resale: If you plan to sell the boat in the future, choose a name that has broad appeal and is not overly personalized.
• Don’t rush the decision: Take your time to brainstorm, consider options, and choose a name that you genuinely love.
• Don’t disregard local regulations: Check if there are any local regulations or restrictions on boat names in your area and ensure your chosen name complies with them.

Naming a boat is an exciting opportunity to give your vessel identity and share it with the world.

Take your time to think about why you own the boat, and choose a name that represents you, your goals, and the style of boating you enjoy most.

Good luck, and thanks for reading!

Boat name ideas: 21 tacks to take when naming your boat.

Post by Becky at Dockwa - Published on 04/28/21 12:00 PM

Do you stay traditional and name your boat after a sweetheart? If you've been jilted, do you name your boat something bitter as a form of catharsis? If you're not interested in naming your boat after a dame, your boat's name could represent a struggle you've overcome, a quest you're beginning, or something as simple as the cocktail you plan on sipping while at the helm.  Learn how to name your boat and see some of the country's best boat names.  

While you're here: Get the free Dockwa app , create your free account , scope out some sweet dockage discounts , or find your next long-term slip or mooring . 

Jokers beware: as the  British NERC researchers  can tell you, the name of your boat says a lot about you, and leaves a lasting impression.

To take a page out of the Halcyon Passages boating blog: 

You can name your boat anything you want to and my opinion is just that. And that opinion is that a name should be one word sometimes two, but one if you can do it. Under no circumstances should it be a whole sentence. ...I miss the days of boats with real names like, Victory, Ranger, Dauntless, and Endeavor.  When I send a distress call announcing that the vessel, that I have treated with such pride and respect, is taking me straight to the bottom, the Coast Guard undoubtedly will say, “Holy cow, now that’s a great boat name.”

How to Choose A Boat Name

1. check how common it is.

Before choosing a name, please give it a run through one of the boat name databases available online, and check out the annual BoatUS Top 10 Boat Names List . If you choose a popular name, and in particular a name that is popular in your boating region, there's a good chance you'll eventually cross paths with your name-doppelgänger and cause some confusion over the radio waves.

2. Check for adaptability

Imagine the scenarios in which you'll say or hear your boat's name. Envision yourself needing to call your boat name over a VHF, as you'll likely need to do many times before you and your boat part ways. As per PropTalk's recommendation, "Imagine yourself using this new name three times on Channel 16. Consider how easy it is to say and how easy it is for other boats to understand." What will it look like if your boat makes front-page headlines?

If you're a sailor, imagine winning a regatta. Do you want to hear "Congratulations,  B-Yacht'ch !" when you approach the podium? (...Maybe! It actually has a fun ring to it.) Once you've chosen a name, head to the  United States Coast Guard site  to make it official.

3. Make it official

Once you've settled on a name, you can head over to the United States Coast Guard site to get all the information you need to make it official.

Boat Name Superstitions

Once named, superstition dictates that it's bad luck to change the name of a boat. But if you must, check out this blog to see the tradition that follows (as with most things in boating), which can clear your boat of bad juju.  One boat renaming ceremony we found: place a piece of paper with the boat name on it in a small box, burn the box, then release the ashes into the sea or river. If you're not one for superstition, you're not alone – mainly as this one may have come about to dodge the attention of tax agencies when a large ship changed hands.

Popular Boat Name Categories

Don't call it a comeback! By far the easiest way to name a boat: ditch its predecessor. Whether your last vessel had a run-in with the sea floor or you wanted an upgrade, calling your second, third, and fourth boat after the first is a breeze. You don't even have to change the artwork on the boat decal. If you're attached to a boat name, there's no shame in wanting to keep it. Rendezvous II, Abigail Rose II, Act III, Adventure Us IIII – all names worthy of a second life.

Our favorite Repeat boat name in this category in 2016:  Nailed It Again

The 2017 Dockwa team favorites:  Double Down II ,  Karma II ,  Ship of Fools III

2018: Final Escape Plan and CurrentSea  

2019:  Have A Fun III – see the backstory and all the favorites of 2019

2020: Ai-Ki  – see the backstory and all the favorites of 2020  

2021: Sans Souci  – see the backstory and all 2021 favorites

The Workaholic

Whether you're obsessed with your job, want to reference how much you hate it, or see boating as a business networking opportunity, naming your boat something related to your occupation opens up a world of boat name puns to help break the ice when you're out on the water.

Our favorites of 2016:  Exit Strategy, Knot On Call , and  Floating Doc

2017's workhorses (or work-escapees):  FHARFRUMWORKEN  and  Aye Doctor

2018:  Effervescence and Monkey Sea  

2019:  Plane To Sea 

2020: Between Wakes

2021: Bone Voyage

The Love Boat

Naming a boat after the love of your life doesn't just score brownie points; it carries on an age-old tradition of naming ships after wives.

Our pals at GetMyBoat did the research on this one:

There are several theories about how this came to be. One is that since the word for “ship” in the languages of the Mediterranean was feminine, the gender of the ship remained the same even in languages in which the word for ship or boat was male or gender-neutral. Another theory is that since boats were traditionally given female names, they became associated with women. In addition, working boats and ships were historically manned by all-male crews. Some ships, like whaling ships, would be at sea for years at a time, and would have a closer relationship with the boat than the mothers, wives, or sweethearts they left behind on shore. Legend has it that ships would sometimes behave like women too, with their own personalities and the specific ways they liked to be handled.

In the Dockwa boat list we found a few  Carol Annes , a handful of  Jenny s, a  Jeaninne III  and a slew of boats named after their missus's -  Miss Molly, Miss Megan, Miss Maggie , the list goes on.

Our favorite Dockwa boat name in 2016:  Captain's Lady . Gotta give the captain credit for the built-in flexibility.

Our 2017 pick:  Sweet Caroline . Even if you're not a Boston fan, we love a boat name that gets the harbor humming.

2018: Lost Keys 

2019: Mr. T and Me 

2020: Platinum Dream

2021: P aumanok and Booger

The Weatherbird

The Eskimo language may have more than 100 words for "snow," but we'd be willing to bet that the number of terms for wind puts that to shame. As well there should be – every day on the breeze is different. So if a particular day or type of wind strikes your fancy, or stays with you for reasons you can't quite describe, perhaps you're a Weatherbird.

Our favorite wind-related Dockwa boat names in 2016:  Second Wind , and  Wind Chaser

The 2017 favorite:  Bris de Mer , which a boater relayed to us translates into French for "Breaking of Sea" – Sea Breaker. Lovely!

2018:  Stella Maris 

2019: Sowwanin II

2020: Irish Hurricane

2021: Witch of November

The Competitor You know them when you see them. When you read the name on the scratch sheet, these are the boats that give you a chill. You don't just want it to win. You want it to crush every other boat in the regatta. Comanche, Dark Star, and SPOOKIE are some of our favorites to see on the start lines. Favorite competitive boat names of 2016:  Triumph  and  STOLEN Our fastest pick for 2017:  Flight Risk 2018:  Bird of Prey 2019: None this year, but to make up for it we added a "Boater's Best Friend" category. This year's winner was Bosun:  We named our boat as well as our dog Bosun. Both are well trusted, dependable, and reliable. The definition of “bosun” suits both the dog as well as our boat well: "a ship's officer in charge of equipment and the crew." – Chris W., Rowayton, CT.  Check out this new category! 2020:  Lady Minx 2021: Miss Mayhem Goddess, Spirits, and Legends Boating can teach you several things: resourcefulness, independence, geography, cooking, and, of course, a wealth of information about obscure Germanic/Greek/Norse deities, fantastic legends, and eerie seafaring stories. Looking to tales is an excellent way to find a name for your boat that is unique and classic. A few of our favorites:  Calliope , the Greek muse often associated with eloquence and epic poetry,  Valkyrie , the Norse figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live, and  Freyja , a Norse goddess associated with love, sex, beauty, fertility , and gold. Our favorite goddess-themed boat name of 2016:  Hespera , the Greek spirit of immortality. 2017's pick: We like the sound of  Pyewacket , which was one of the spirits in the story of the witches of Essex, England, in 1644, described as both an imp and a polecat by the "witch" who claimed they visited her. If not that origin story, the boat could be named for the 1967 children's novel of the same name, in which the main character is an alley cat.  2018:  Dea Latis  2019:  Alobar 2020: Vayu 2021: PINCOYA The Heartstrings Whether you had your heart broken or lost your fortune in a drunken night of gambling–or both–naming a boat after your tale of woe can be cathartic. For instance, we can't imagine a vessel named After Child Support  had happy beginnings. The boat name that most stood out in the Dockwa roster:  Life's a Wreck . Hope everything's okay, buddy! 2017's, er, winners:  Bittersweet  and  Grumpy Old Man .  2018: Solace , No Regrets , Fighting Lady , and T n T Too  2019:  Knot A Day Goes By  2020: Burnt Out 2021: Peregrine The Musician Three Little Birds, Comfortably Numb, Aleggro, Adagio, Calypso, Cantada  –captains love music! From classical to contemporary, naming your boat after your favorite tune can give you a theme song to blast as you leave the harbor (we're looking at you,  Wild T'ing ), or a go-to to crank up once you've reached calm waters and are sipping on wine. Our favorite musically-themed boat name of 2016:  White Album , who apparently chose the name to avoid having to put the name on the hull.  Our 2017 pick:  The Madman Across the Water . Kudos to this captain for being boating-apropos while showing us there's more to  the Elton John album  than Tiny Dancer. We also love  Hotel California  – if we see that boat we'd expect the crew aboard to be living it up while living aboard.  2018:  Three Little Birds 2019:  Row Jimmy 2020: Bellini 2021: Alestorm The Fun-Lovin' Free-Wheeler! Boat Drinks! Comfortably Numb! Yolo!  You'll get no judgment from us. People buy boats for different reasons, and if yours is to have a boozy getaway on the water, so be it! But, be careful with this naming category. If the name is too on the nose, "Getting Slizzard" anyone?, don't be surprised when Coasties show up to survey the scene. Our favorite fun-lovin' boat name of 2016:  Zimbabalooba! Sounds like a wacky good time.  For 2017, we have a soft spot for  Dune Buggy . We imagine this is a sporty little runabout!  2018: Mad Cap 2019:  Too Much Weekend 2020: Weekend Bender 2021: Bad Idea The Pop Culture Fan From the The S.S. Minnow to Cast Away to the Pirate Ship Revenge , harbors always seem to have their fair share of pop culture references.  Our favorite pop-culture boat name of 2016:  Honey Badger . We assume this boat's namesake is the  2011 nature video  that went viral after some creative narrating, which would lead us to also assume that the owners of this boat don't care and have a pretty fun sense of humor.  2017's winner:  Kobayashi Maru  hands down. The name is apropos for referencing the captain's test in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot, and has an even sweeter connotation for Trek fans who know that this test is designed to be unbeatable, to see how a captain reacts in a no-win scenario. (Spoiler alert) Even better: the test is beaten by a captain who doesn't believe in no-win scenarios. Live long and prosper.  2018:  Squalus  2019:  Shortshank Redemption  2020: McHale’s Navy 2021: Millenium Dolphin The Pun Master Some people love a good pun–enough to slap one on the stern of a boat that will likely be one of the most significant investments they make in their life. Pun names are harmless, even if they are groan-worthy, to name a few:  ABSeas, Comocean, YEAH BOUY, Knot So Fast, Nauti Girl, Ships n' Giggles, Fanta-Sea,  and  Extra-Sea . Catamaran owners seem particularly guilty of indulging in puns, with names like  Cat-astrophe, KatAttack, Katnip, and  Katatonic . And then there are the puns that get a bit more risque–the afore-mentioned  B-Yacht'ch ,  Morning Wood , and  Master Baiter (Do you bring your mothers on that boat?). We'll keep things a little more G-Rated for our boat name pick.

Our favorite punny boat name of 2016:  Seas the Dream .

2017's punmaster: Whichever pirate owns  Arrr-n-Arrrr . 

2018:  Jaunty

2019:  Ship Show

2020: DEBAITABLE

2021: Pied à mer 

The Storyteller When perusing the long list of Dockwa boaters, many don't fit into one of the previous categories, and some in particular give pause. Twenty Two Bucks ? What's the story there? Witch of Tilloo ? Definitely needed to google that. Did the owner of Triple Dog Dare Ya buy their boat on a dare?  Ou r 2016 favorite boat name:  Against All Odds . 2017:  Chocolate Socks.  If you see a vessel by this name at your docks or on your mooring field, please approach with caution and get the story of this odd name. 2018:  OH NO 2019:  Deja Blue 2020: Off The Rails 2021: Sheekasay The Linguist In 2017 we updated this post to include another category, as we felt compelled salute captains whose boat names are nod to a cultural sentiment they appreciate or their own family's culture. This year's pick s:  Andiamo! , Italian for "Let's go!" and  Ladatio , which we've learned is Hindi for "scandal." 2018's favorite:  Satori Blue 2019:  Lagniappe 2020: Tallawah 2021: Hahalua All in the Family 2018:  OutNumbered : I am fortunate to have a wonderful wife & two teenage daughters... however I am truly outnumbered at home & in everything I do. We laugh that people at various ports/marinas sometimes ask if I am an accountant or deal with numbers to which I respond, you will see in a minute as the family comes aboard! – Dan F., Newport RI 2019:  Thisldu 2020: Beau Twyde 2021: The Belfry and Muthashp Paying Homage 2018:  Gray Ghost : My boat is a gray Robalo R227 named after my father’s ship in the navy. Officially the USS Newport News, the heavy cruiser earned the nickname “The Gray Ghost from the East Coast” during her service in Vietnam, due to numerous missions taking fire without being hit. Her sister ship USS Salem is berthed in Quincy MA. – Randy B.  2019:  Nauti Nelli 2020: Cupecoy 2021: Steinsvika Dinghy Duos We've seen some cute as heck dinghy names over the past year and thought they warranted their category. We, of course, love when they have their boat name backstory, particularly when they're a standalone vessel instead of a +1, but we also love when the name is a nod to the mothership.  2020: A close family friend joined the Special Operations Unit for the Marines and was KIA. During his brutal training where all he wanted to do was give up he would recite the phrase in his head "Beast mode no breaks." This phrase became common among our families aft er. Our boat is named Beast Mode and our tender is named No Breaks .  2021: Bubblecuffer A Boater's Best Friend 2019: Bosun 2020: Alpha Dog 2021: Gunny's Dream Literary Reference Boat Names 2020: SKYMARK  came from a poem from Robert Frost bemoaning being somewhat lost at sea on a cloudy night and asking the clouds to part so he could find his old "sky marks" in the heavens so he could once again determine his location; thus the name. I have used it since my first sailboat in 1981. 2021: Vagrant Gypsy Money Matters 2020: Bottom's Up : Purchased from the funds of liquor sales at Bourbon Street Pub in Key West.  – Conch Harbor Marine, Key West, FL 2021: Ka-Ching and A LOAN AT SEA   These Modern Times / Current Event Boat Names 2020 : Covid Therapy : Boat the boat while stressing out about being quarantined during Covid 19 and thinking there will be nothing to do in the summer – hence our new boat! 2021: Lake Mode , @sea.calm , and Social Distins Change of Pace A frequent theme we've spotted with boat names is that the owner(s) have decided to slow things down, downsize, upsize (usually upsize), or, as was the case of our 2020 winners, finally take charge of tackling their boating bucket list at breakneck speed.   2020:  Here Today : Here Today was launched In January 2019 in the Virgin Islands and has traveled to 57 different ports from the Caribbean to New England – for our short stays we are “Here Today”! 2021: Call Me Crazy and Last Dance

• Don’t rush the process. Take your time and make sure you’re happy with the name before you paint it on the boat.

Choosing the perfect name for your boat can be a fun and creative process. Whether you’re looking for a traditional name or something quirky and unique, there are endless possibilities.

Take the time to explore different options and get input from those around you. With the right name, your boat can become a reflection of your personality and a source of pride for years to come.

List of Boat Name Ideas: Inspiration for Nautical Naming

Classic Boat Name Ideas

When selecting a perfect name for your vessel, you may consider choosing from the treasure trove of  classic boat name ideas . These names have weathered many a storm and still hold their charm and elegance, resonating with the grace and tradition of seafaring.

• Sea Queen : This name evokes a sense of majesty and control over the vast ocean.
• Black Pearl : Popularized by film, it suggests mystery and adventure.
• Freedom : This name carries the essence of what it means to sail—unbound and unrestrained.

In my search for timeless names, it’s clear that names such as  Odyssey  and  Poseidon  connect to the rich mythology and history of exploration, while names like  Endeavour  [ reflect an adventurous spirit ].

For a touch of regal elegance:

• Majestic Lady : Portrays a sophisticated and noble vessel.

Names that resonate a peaceful journey:

• Serenity : Perfect for conveying a tranquil experience at sea.

Choosing such a classic name for your boat will certainly bestow a sense of permanence and legacy, anchoring your maritime adventures in a lineage of maritime tradition. Remember, a boat’s name isn’t merely a label; it’s a declaration of what she represents to you and the waters she navigates.

Creative Boat Name Ideas

When I’m brainstorming boat names, I aim for a mix of whimsy, relevance, and individuality. Here’s a breakdown of creative names segmented by the vibe they exude.

Adventure-Seeking Names:

• Voyage Vanguard
• Mariner’s Mirage
• Questline Skipper

These names evoke a sense of exploration. I believe a boat is not just a vessel; it’s a gateway to adventures unknown.

Luxury and Elegance:

• Opulent Odyssey
• Majestic Marina
• Sovereign Seas

For a more lavish touch, these names are chosen to reflect the sophistication of a high-end yacht navigating the blue expanses.

Humorous and Witty:

• Knot on Call
• Seas the Day
• Nautical But Nice

A boat name with a pun reflects a laid-back and fun atmosphere. It’s a conversation starter at the marina and showcases my lighter side.

Inspired by Nature:

• Ocean Whisper
• Coral Caravel
• Zephyr’s Quest

These names pay homage to the elements and creatures of the sea. I select them to signify my respect for the marine environment I’m traversing.

Classics with a Twist:

• Sea Siren Redux
• Enduring Empress
• Eternal Voyager 2.0

I choose these for a traditional feel with a modern edge. These names stand the test of time while still feeling fresh.

When I compile boat names, I balance between the essence of my boat and a reflection of my personal narrative. Each selected name carries a story ready to be unfurled on the vast canvas of the sea.

Luxury Yacht Name Ideas

When I brainstorm luxury yacht names, I think of refinement, elegance, and the spirit of maritime adventure. Selecting an appropriate name for a yacht can reflect the owner’s personality or aspirations. Here are some ideas that might inspire:

Classical Allure :

• Odyssey  – paying homage to the epic voyages of Greek legend.
• Aurora  – inspired by the Roman goddess of dawn, signifying new beginnings.

Oceanic Majesty :

Personal Touch :

• Serendipity  – for those who chance upon great and fortunate discoveries.

Bold Adventure :

• Voyager  – perfect for a yacht built to explore distant shores.
• Destiny’s Horizon  – a name that speaks to the future and what lies beyond.

Each name has its own character and hint of narrative. If I’m choosing a name for a luxury yacht, I’d consider how it will resonate with guests and the legacy I intend for the yacht. Remember, a yacht’s name often becomes its identity and a reflection of the adventures it will undertake.

Fishing Boat Name Ideas

When choosing a name for my fishing boat, I consider factors like personal interests, humor, and the character of my boating experiences. A great name can be a conversation starter and reflect my personality or attitude towards fishing.

Classic Names

• Angler’s Quest

These timeless names honor the tradition of fishing and have a certain gravitas that speaks to my dedication to the sport.

Inspired by my zest for fishing adventures, these names evoke the excitement and exploration inherent in the pursuit of the next big catch.

Clever and Unique Names

• Reel Therapy

A clever or unique name sets my boat apart and expresses creativity – it’s the signature of my vessel’s identity on the water.

In the end, the name I choose becomes a part of the boat’s identity, and by extension, a part of my own fishing legacy.

If you’re searching for more inspiration, you might find the lists from  Blog Of Tom  or  BoatingWise  particularly helpful. They offer extensive collections of boat names that could spark that perfect name for your sailboat.

Remember, the name you choose will be with you and your sailboat for many trips over the horizon, so pick one that you’ll be proud to call out across the waves.

Speedboat Name Ideas

When choosing a name for your speedboat, I suggest selecting one that reflects both the spirit of the boat and your personal style. Here’s a curated list of names to inspire you, ranging from sleek and cool to adventurous and bold.

Adventurous and Bold:

If you need more inspiration, websites like  Blog Of Tom  and  MYLOVELYBOAT  offer extensive lists to browse through. Remember, a great boat name can make as much of an impact as the boat itself out on the water.

Funny Boat Name Ideas

When I think of boat names, I gravitate towards ones that show a sense of humor. Clever wordplay and witty puns can make a boat name memorable and can provide a good laugh for passersby. Below is a list I’ve crafted, with inspiration drawn from some humorous suggestions I’ve come across:

• Aqua Holic : Perfect for someone who can’t imagine a weekend away from the water.
• Knot Paid For : A playful nod to the financial investment that boating often entails.
• Pier Pressure : For the boat that often hosts friends and persuades them to join in on the boating lifestyle.

In selecting a funny boat name, I always keep in mind that it should reflect the boat’s personality or the boating experience. Here are a few names I found to be particularly clever:

• Seas the Day : A clever twist on the phrase “seize the day,” encouraging one to make the most out of their time on the water.
• Ship Faced : A humorous take for those who enjoy the boat’s party potential.
• Usain Boat : Ideal for a speedy boat or for an owner with a love for sprinting legend Usain Bolt.

• Poseidon’s Trident : References the Greek god of the ocean.
