I own a couple of inflatables, a tiny foldable, car trunk capable dinghy with an 4 hp motor, and a mid sized trailerable RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat). The dinghy is named cuinmeri (phonetic spelling of Queen Mary in Spanish) and the RIHB is called patchwork, because of all the patches it had before I retubed it. And yes, I'm a near boomer (early Xer) dad.
Patchwork before retubing:
Unsinkable 2 got me
To be fair though, for all we know unsinkable 1 didn’t sink but blew up or something.
It hit an iceberg.
Definitely the best.
I named my kayak Whoops, but put the letters on it upside down.
This would be even more epic if you do manage to flip it one day
I have flipped it lmao. Only like twice, but it was fuckin hilarious each time.
Myoobs ? I'm lost
It reads Whoops when you flip.
ahaaa ! I get it ! cheers
If you're not dad naming your boat, you're doing it wrong.
Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.
That's the one I don't get.
*Cirrhosis of the liver

My Dad's sailboat was Passing Wind
wakey wakey
From Dexter
Where’s “wet dream”?
Prawn star was the best I’ve seen
Unsinkable II def top of the game.
One dude had "Hail Seaser".
Had a friend whose dad named his boat The Other Woman.
If these are dad jokes, what would a funny name that isn't a "dad joke" be like?

I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).
“Damn, so the Unsinkable sank, eh? That sucks.”
“Not at all, she’s moored at the pier as we speak. I just wanted another one.”
“Oh. I thought there was a grim joke there.”
“Yeah, most people do, which itself is kind of a joke. Shrimp cocktail?”
“Can’t. Allergic to shellfish.”
“Damn, that sucks.”
They're all great except the last one. The "Cirrhosis" one went over my head but I looked it up, it's excellent. The last one, "aqua holic", isn't a dad joke unless I'm missing something.
Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.
Alcoholic?
They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.

I worked for a marina when I was a ~~child~~ teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named
C:[ESC]
I can't decide whether the pencil-pusher who reviews boat naming paperwork has a great job or a terrible one. Should track their workplace injury stats and study the effects of frequent high-intensity eyerolling.
Vocal strain from constant light chuckling. The job title is called Chucklehead.
Pier pressure Is my favorite
Should'a been "Wood Knot", or even "Wood Naut".
