Top 10 Boat Names For 2019

Each year the Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) tallies the most popular boat names in the nation and releases its list of the Top 10 Boat Names for the year. It’s a fun tradition that dates back a quarter of a century, in the spirit of famed fashion critic Mr. Blackwell’s annual Best Dressed lists.

If you’re looking for a catchy name for your brand-new boat, you might just find some inspiration here. The 2019 list of Top 10 Boat Names includes:

1. Aquaholic

After a four-year absence from the Top 10 list, this popular boat name returns. Its appeal is in its intoxicating wordplay about overdoing too much time on the water. This kind of imbibing, however, won’t give you a hangover – except maybe on a Monday morning when you have to go back to work!

2. Pearl

Sometimes a shortening of the name of the fictional ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, folks who put Pearl on the transom likely know that their luxurious vessel has an understated luster.

3. Forever Young

While boating isn’t exactly like the Fountain of Youth, many boaters say the feeling of boating, sailing or fishing keeps them feeling young. A perfect name for maintaining a stress-free boating life.

4. Second Chance

This boat owner has likely had an opportunity for a do-over – be it with boating or a life challenge related to health, career or matrimony. It’s a reminder to take advantage of the chance to start over.

5. Squid Pro Quo

It’s clear this name appeals to anglers who appreciates Latin, or at least perhaps understand that life is a game of give-and-take.

6. More Cowbell

A 2000 Saturday Night Live comedy skit featuring Will Farrell and Christopher Walken pokes fun at taking things too far. Perhaps this boat is a little over the top as well.

7. Pegasus

A winged horse from Greek mythology that was capable of creating water springs just by striking his hoof into the earth. This boat name that connects earth and sky is commonly found on both sailboat and powerboat transoms.

8. Feelin’ Nauti

Who says you can’t be amorous while boating?

9. Why Knot?

These owners appreciate nautical wordplay and realize sometimes you just have to jump into things without over analyzing it.

10. High Maintenance

This term, sometimes used to reference a boat owner’s spouse, can also indicate that this vessel also requires much time, money or effort. A good choice for a high-performance boat.
