Boat Names That Will Leave You Laughing

Here’s an interesting fact: every boat – every single boat – must have a unique name. From simple fishing boats to immense cruise liners, if they’re registered, the name is unique. This leads us to a lot of strange, unexpected, and, yes, funny names.

Plenty of clever people sail the seven seas, which has led to plenty of names that will stick in your mind even after you’re finished with the article. Some will make you groan with obvious puns, and some are a little more thinky, though once you puzzle out the wordplay you’ll get yet another chuckle.

Please headbang responsibly. Wear a lifejacket, and don’t get your heavy metal hair caught in any moving parts. It kind of looks like this name was taped on using electrical tape or duct tape, but that’s actually a pretty good approximation of the Slayer logo, just edited the smallest bit. It almost takes a moment to see that it’s actually a homophone of “sailor.”

Turn that dial all the way to eleven, and hope that the liquid all around you is actually water when you take this ship out to sea and start to blast your favorite band.
