The boat naming tradition dates back hundreds of years. In the olden days, sea vessels were named after 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 in asking the gods for good luck, though we must agree that it is a rather funny name.
In the glorious list below we have picked the most dad joke worthy, punny and funny 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 boat names represent the wittiest captains of the seven seas. Be sure to check the compilation of best boat names below!
