It is said that a boat’s name can reveal quite a bit about the owner’s personality. Do they enjoy fishing? A name like Reel Therapy scrawled across the boat’s transom certainly shows it. Do they have kids in school? Then a name like What College Fund? says it best. Like to sing? In Harmony is a popular choice. Work in the finance industry? Liquid Assets is always popular.
Regardless of one’s lifestyle, family or career, choosing a name for a new boat can be difficult. To help boaters with this task, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) offers a list of over 9,000 boat names given by boaters across the country over the last 20 years. Take a look at BoatUS.com/boatnames and you may be inspired to find the perfect name for your perfect new ride.
Of course, some names are more popular than others, and just in time for summer, here’s the 2016 list of Top Ten Boat Names. They are:
- Happy Ours
- Freedom
- Grace
- Serendipity
- Island Time
- No Regrets
- Liberty
- At Last
- Blue Moon
- Aquaholic
“Happy Ours may be the most popular boat on a Friday night at the marina,” said BoatUS boat graphics manager, Greg Edge. “Names like Freedom and Liberty show boaters’ patriotic side, but they also like their boat names to remind themselves to slow down and relax.”
The BoatUS graphics service offers an online design tool that lets boaters easily create custom graphics for their new boat, with fast turnaround times. All graphics come with a 30-day guarantee that even provides a replacement decal free of charge if the owners muffs up the installation job.
