The boat naming tradition dates back hundreds of years. In the olden days, sea vessels were given unique boat names, often inspired by gods, to ensure their protection from bad luck. And even nowadays, when you pick a name for a new ship, the naming ceremony is exact and complex so that no unfortunate event would befall the seafarer on its maiden trip.
If sailing is more of a recreational activity for you, then ship names might be a bit looser with the rites. Anyways, we highly doubt that Boaty McBoatface is a proper name for asking the gods for good luck, though we must agree that it is a rather funny boat name.
In the glorious list below, we have picked the most dad joke-worthy, witty boat names for you to laugh at. While one might not have many such opportunities for naming, and most of them require at least some responsibility, these funny boat names represent the smartest captains of the seven seas. Be sure to check the compilation of the best boat names below!
