Best boat name ideas – the ultimate free guide.
Our free guide is the ultimate resource to help you think of the best boat name to suit you and your boat perfectly. We have packed it full of different ways to think of a name as well as a huge list of boat name ideas. More than just the top 100 list of the world’s coolest boat name ideas.
It’s a popular superstition that changing your boat name can bring bad luck and make your boating experience something that you would prefer to forget. So what happens when you find your dream boat with a name that you just can’t live with?
You can use any of the boat names in this list if you like or just looking through the list could inspire you to come up with a unique and original name for your boat.
If you are just registering your boat in your state, the same boat names can be used many times. Australian registered vessels on the other hand, have to apply for the boat name, and there can only be one boat with that name. You can get around this by adding II, etc. at the end of the boat name when you register it.
Do you want an excuse for a party and to keep up with the boat naming tradition? Use our free Boat Naming or Boat Renaming Ceremony to Christen your boat with her new name.
One of the most important components of personalising our boat is naming it. In our search for an original and meaningful name we often name our boats to reflect our own personalities – this can be fun and challenging at the same time. This boat name guide can help you think of a unique or funny boat name – or one that may reflect your current circumstances.
Your choice should be one that feels the most comfortable. Make a shortlist, sleep on it and sound out your options to friends and family before making a final decision. Naming your boat requires a degree of imagination as well as consideration about what you intend to do on and with your boat.
When choosing a name, consider the image it creates for others. Some names may offend people, or you might resent it in the future. We once witnessed a mayday call from a boat called “Just Joking”, which made the whole conversation a bit confusing. More importantly, remember that it has to be understood on the radio. You don’t want it to be too long, complicated, and hard to pronounce, or it will be difficult to understand and transmit.
Best Boat Names Lists by Category updated for 2023
Use girls names and combinations to name your boat.
Throughout history, naming your boat after a partner or child has always been a popular practice. Particularly when using a female name. You could stick to the tradition or combine two names to create something new and unique. For example:
MARABEL (Mary and Belle) MIKEVA (Mike and Eva) DONELLA (Donald and Ella)
Or use a combination of two shorter names in full. For example:
KERRYANN MARYJANE JOANNA
These name combinations are only limited by your imagination and the given names of those closest to you.

Name your boat after a Famous Woman or the Love of your Life
For centuries feminine names have been chosen for boats. Traditional wooden ships were adorned with elaborately carved and painted female figureheads, believing that these statues of nude or semi-nude women would calm the rough seas. Feeling a bit superstitious or are you a fan of history and traditions?
Have a look at this list dedicated to women.

Use Meaning to name your boat
Names help us form impressions and curious names help us remember these impressions. Set a mood with your Boat Name that suits your boat and your personality.
You could simply think of a word to describe your craft. If you have a big strong boat that could sit through any storm – something like DAUNTLESS might suit you quite well. If you have more of a little weekend runabout, something like JOYFUL or BOUNCER may just do the trick.

Boat name ideas using your Occupation?
Does what you do for a living make you proud or defines who you are? Consider using your occupation to create your Boat Name. Use words from your profession’s terminology in full, such as COUNSELLOR , or be inspired by words associated with your profession, such as persons, animals, etc.
For example, if you are a singer, you could name your boat NIGHTINGALE . Don’t forget about a bit of wordplay either! Do you fly planes for a living? What about PILOTHOUSE ?

Best boat names using Colours
If the hull of your boat is a very distinct colour, use it in your name for an easy identifier.
BIG RED BLUE LIGHTNING WHITE WINGS BLACK DIAMOND BLUEJACKET SONG SUNG BLUE SILVER LADY BLUE FIRE LADY GREY GOLD RUSH THE BLUE NOTE ORANGE PEEL
ORANGE MELLOW YELLOW EVERGREEN SILVER HAWK BLACK MAGIC RED TOMATO QUICKSILVER TOUCH OF GREY RED PEPPER MOODY BLUES BURNT SIERRA GREEN LIGHT
AQUAMARINE POT ‘O GOLD PURPLE DREAM BLUE STEEL BLACK BEAUTY TICKLED PINK LADY IN RED BLUEBACK SIMPLY RED FIDDLER’S GREEN LEMON TWIST RED ROSE
Perhaps you have a favorite Mineral or Semi-Precious Stone you could name your boat after
The sparkle of precious gemstones, birthstones, and expensive metals inspire some great names for boats as they give a sense of luxury and strength.
You could think of a gemstone in the colour of your hull. Green boat? Call it EMERALD. Or you could pick the birthstone that is associated with your own birthday or with the day your boat will be launched.
CRYSTAL OPAL PLATINUM RUBY EMERALD ONYX
SAPPHIRE AMBER TOPAZ JADE PEARL DIAMOND
ZIRCON GOLD SILVER COPPER TURQUOISE AQUAMARINE
The birthstone for Pisces is Aquamarine, which as the name suggests, has had a long association with the sea, sailors, and mermaids. Ancient folklore has it that the aquamarine stone was worn to protect sailors from drowning.
Boat Names Using the Phonetic Alphabet
Use your initials in conjunction with the phonetic alphabet, such as:
PAPA KILO ALPHA TANGO ECHO DELTA ALPHA OSCAR MIKE LIMA PAPA
A – Alpha B – Bravo C – Charlie D – Delta E – Echo F – Foxtrot G – Golf
H – Hotel I – India J – Juliet K – Kilo L – Lima M – Mike N – November
O – Oscar P – Papa Q – Quebec R – Romeo S – Sierra T – Tango U – Uniform
V – Victor W – Whiskey X – X-Ray Y – Yankee Z – Zulu
Classic Boat Names
Classical names.
Names from literature, art, classical music and philosophy can say a lot about your personality, heritage, and education. Plus, they make for some nice sounding Boat Names.
Over the centuries, the gods and goddesses of mythology have been used as names for vessels. Before the days of GPS, sailors used the heavens to navigate, and some still do today. Stars, celestial bodies, signs of the Zodiac, constellations, and galaxies make effective Boat Names for new owners. Also, you could use your own star sign or the signs that are associated with the launch date of your boat. Or you could name it after a god to suit the style of your boat.
Boat Names that use Birthplaces or Locations
Do you have an imported boat from a faraway place, a country or city you would like to sail to and one-day call home or a favourite beach with good memories? Use this location to inspire the name of your boat. For example, if you’re Irish you could call her Shamrock.
AUSSIE BATTLER KIWI POMMY BASTARD IRISH MIST LONDON FOG FRENCH MUSTARD CANADA DRY AFRICAN QUEEN FRENCH CONNECTION RING AROUND IRISH TOP END CHARLIE SPANISH FLY RUSSIAN BLUE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS IRISH CREAM
IRISH COFFEE FRENCH KNICKERS DUTCH TREAT TOP END CHARLIE BANANA BENDER SCOTLAND THE BRAVE FRENCH CHAMPAGNE FLYING DUTCHMAN TASMANIAN DEVIL BRITTANICA HIGHLANDER VICTIORIAN BRITZ SAND GROPER VIENNA SNITZEL
QUEENSLANDER SYDNEYSIDER LONG WHITE CLOUD IRISH ROSE CELTIC FLYER SWISS CHOCOLATE SWISS MISS FRENCH KISS BIG APPLE CHINA DOLL SPANISH EYES BORN DOWN UNDER WELSH RABBIT SINGAPORE SLING YANKEE DOODLE
You could select a name from the relevant ethnic background of your location, such as using the indigenous name of your homeport rather than the English version. Does your homeport have an indigenous name? Use that instead of the English version. Or translate a word associated with your boat into the indigenous language of your homeport. For example:
PINDARI – Aborigine for happiness. NANGARA – meaning “dreaming”. KUNGA WONGA – meaning “three canoes” which would be a good name for a Trimaran.
Boat Names from Foreign Languages
Use a short phrase or saying from a foreign language that’s meaningful to you. Whether it’s your personal mantra, a description of your personality or boat, or associated with your vessel’s homeport – anything goes. Just keep in mind that simplicity is the key. Remember how we talked about radio communications at the start of this e-Book? I’m sure we’ve all seen this one a few times CARPE DIEM: Latin – Seize the day.
Long, overly complicated names may get you in trouble later on. A few examples:
QUO VADIS : Latin – Where are you going? CARTE BLANCH : French – a saying meaning “anything goes” CARPE DIEM : Latin – Seize the day VIVA : Spanish – Lively ARCADES AMBO : Latin – Two Rascals L’ALLEGRO : Italian – Merry Man VOLVER : French – To fly FAIT ACCOMPLI : French – Mission accomplished ALTER EGO : Latin – Counterpart, Double VISTA MAR : Spanish – Ocean view TEMPUS : Latin – Time ROOINEK : Afrikaans – Foreigner ESPIRT DE MAR : French – Spirit of the Sea INKA : Japanese – Seal of Approval SIROCCO : Italian – Witches’ Winds RAISON D’ETRE : French – Reason for being/living
MENAGE A TROIS : French – Threesome VENI VIDI VICI : Latin – I came, I saw, I conquered ALOHA : Hawaiian – Love, kindness, affection, goodwill LA MER : French – The Sea BEN TROVATO : Italian – Well-found QUID PRO QUO : Latin – Something for something DOLCE FAR NIENTE : Italian – Sweet Idleness MYSTIC WAHINE : Tahitian – Woman AMIGO : Spanish – Friend MODUS OPERANDI : Latin – The manner in which one works SAYONARA : Japanese – Farewell SALA DE MAR : Spanish – Sea room TEMA MAR : Spanish – Sea theme MIKO : Japanese – Sorceress SUENO : Spanish – To dream PAPILLON : French – Butterfly
Multi-Hulls
Here are some examples of names specifically meant for twin-hull vessels using a play on words and feline terms to create a fun name for Catamarans.
For obvious reasons, typical trimaran names come with referral to a trio in one form or another. Another popular way of forming trimaran names is to use bird references. To make it a bit more original, think about using the key features of a trimaran (fast, exciting, light) to create a name through puns and sayings.
The cruising lifestyle has long been associated with adventure, discovery, escapism, self-sufficiency, hunter-gatherers, making magic memories and the almost spiritual freedom of being one with the elements; wind, sun and the ocean. The names in this section describe this lifestyle with known sayings and slang, and perhaps the individual circumstances or emotions which lead us to follow that special dream based on the sea. For example “The Good Life.”
Funny Boat Names
Do you just want to make people laugh as they walk by your boat? Then the funny boat name is for you! Create clever puns by merging nautical, fishing and lifestyle-related terms to come up with a unique name to suit you as well as your boat and send people on their way a little happier. Pier Pressure is seen quite often. Here are some of the funniest ever, including funny names for bass boats
Using Speed can be cool
Speed and the sport of racing mean thrills, spills, heat, adrenaline-pumping challenges and excitement.
Going Fishing?
Fishermen, whether fishing for a hobby or a profession, take fishing seriously.
Therefore, the most passionate enthusiast will enjoy almost anything related to their sport, including the naming of their boats.
Dinghies & Small or Cute Crafts
Most dinghies are cunning escape artists. Giving them a name won’t cure them of this annoying habit, but it will make them easier to find and perhaps less likely to be stolen. Use this escapism as an inspiration for your dinghy’s name, make a reference to it’s size, hull material or if you have a particularly strong outboard on the back, make a reference to its speed.
Connecting your mothership to it’s tender by name is guaranteed to attract attention anywhere!
You could use a name for your mother vessel that indicates a larger size such as MAGNITUDE and use a synonym for your dinghy that means the opposite, such as MINITUDE.
Another option, to refer back to a previous idea, is to name the mother vessel after your wife and the tender after your child.

How do you come up with a boat name?
Ultimately, the best way to name your boat is by determining what is most suitable to you and your personality. By using the above techniques as well as our boat name design generator you’re sure to find something perfect.
What’s a good boat name?
Again, this will depend on factors such as your personality, how you’ll be using your boat and the important people in your life. Have a read through our guide above to find some handy tips and tricks to narrow down the possibilities for you.
Can I name my boat anything?
When naming your boat it’s best to keep it short and easy to understand for times when you may need to say it over the radio. If you’re registering your boat name nationwide then you’ll also need to ensure that no other boat already has the same name.

The Cleverest Names for Your Boat from A to Z
My, she sure is yar.
Whether it's for rest and relaxation or fishing and water sports, there are few things better than taking to the high seas. If you're like many others, buying a boat is a long-dreamt-of goal. The decision to purchase a boat is a big one, but picking the name? Now that's a huge decision. Should it be playful or meaningful? Clever or cryptic? The choice is all yours, and it's a choice you probably want to take some time making. From the iconic names of super-yachts to sea-worthy puns, we’ve rounded up the most chic, popular, and all around classic handles. You've got options.
If you want to keep your boat's name short and sweet, a strong name like Abyss or Andiamo ("Let's go") will surely do the trick. Or might we suggest something sillier, like Aquaholic ?
A cleverly crafted phrase like Black Pearl or Bankers Hours makes a statement without having to say too much. If it's more of a booze cruise you seek, Bottoms Up or Bacchus , for the Roman god of wine, are solid choices.
Something to keep in mind when naming your boat– no matter how big or small the name is you choose– is what it will look like on a hat or jacket for you and your crew. Classic names like Calypso or Carpe Diem sound as good as they look.
From Destiny to Dream Weaver there are tons of ways to demonstrate how much your boat means to you through its name.
A funny pun like Fish Tales or Fantasea as a name is sure to make you friends around the marina.
Boats are commonly referred to as 'she' and given feminine names, which many historians originated from the role of goddesses and mothers who were though to protect a ship’s voyage. Y ou can go with a common one, like Gemma, or choose a name with personal significance to safeguard your travels just as well, according to the superstition.
You are sure to have many memories of relaxation and good times on your boat and its name should reflect that. Onboard Happy Hours or Hakuna Matata , spirits are bound to be high.
With a name like Island Time you'll automatically switch to vacation mode when you board your vessel.
Want to feel like royalty? Take a cue from Queen Elizabeth and her yacht Jubilee . The regal name will have you ruling the high seas in no time.
A witty phrase that interchanges "knot" and "not" is great for a light-hearted and jovial boat name–and there's no better time for a nautical pun. Our favorites include Knot Working and Knot on Call, but feel free to let your creative juices flow!
Show off your sense of humor with something like Liquid Asset , or your sunny attitude with License to Chill or Life is Good .
A popular trend for boat names is translating a phrase into another language. Brazilian businessman, Alexandre Grendene Bartelle, used the French pronoun for 'miss' when naming his super-yacht, Madame Kate, while others have used the word Mahalo, which translates to thank you in Hawaiian.
Reference the past with names like North Star (which sailors historically used as guidance on long voyages) or Neptune’s Glory , alluding to the Roman god of the sea. Maybe you'd prefer to opt for something a little more zen, like Nirvana , Namaste , No Worries , or No Regrets .
When in doubt, a short and strong word goes very far– Ohana , Oasis , Orion , Obsession , Osprey , and Odyssey are all powerful options for your boat’s name.
You know what they say: money talks. People love to use financial terms for their yacht names. Principal Interest is just one of many different monetary puns that you could use.
Attaching a special meaning to your boat is one of the best things about being able to name it. A name like Querencia, which refers to a place where a person feels authentically like themselves, is a great way to ensure your boat's name is sentimental.
No one would be able to turn down an afternoon aboard the Rum Runner, as it sounds like a guaranteed good time.
For a classic and timeless name, there are a great deal of sea phrases to choose such as Sea Spirit or Second Wind . Names that play on words, such as Sea Senora or Seas the Day are quality names, too. T he options are as wide as the horizon.
Another route is to give your boat a name with a double entendre. Playful picks like The Good Life, Therapy, or Time Out are fun and don't take themselves too seriously. If you're Margaritaville-bound, we particularly like The Salt Shaker .

Types of Powerboats: 33 Types And Their Uses
If you’re new to the world of boating get ready for a surprise. There are far more kinds of boats than most people are aware of out on the water, and that includes powerboats, speed boats, motorboats or whatever you might want to call them.
For many people, “powerboat” is a kind of catchall term. Once upon a time people referred to boats in very basic terms. A rowboat had oars, a dinghy was a little boat, a sailboat had a sail and a motor boat has outboard motors and that was as detailed as most people got. But there are many different forms a powerboat can take and many different uses for them. So let’s take a look, alphabetically, at a list that may not be exhaustive but should cover nearly every kind of powerboat you’ll want to know about.
Aft-Cabin Boats
Aft-cabin boats have a room at the stern of the boat from which they get their name. An inboard engine is located at the center and you can access the helm with a set of stairs. These boats are used for cruising, especially if you plan to spend a few nights at sea.
A bass boat is used for freshwater fishing in lakes and rivers. That doesn’t have to just be bass fishing. Usually these are between 14’ and 23’. They have a shallow draft and a flat deck as well as a low freeboard. You’ll often find a bass boat with a pretty powerful outboard motor and also trolling motors.
A bay boat , as the name implies, are designed for use in places like bays and coastal waters. That means shallow water, typically. Expect a fiberglass hull, a length between 18’ and 24’ and a low freeboard center console. They have a low profile overall and usually offer good speed.
Like the name suggests, you can ride in the bow of a bowrider . The bow end is opened up to allow for extra seating in front of the helm. Expect a bowrider to be a modest length, between 17’ and 30’. The hull is V-shaped to allow for a smooth ride cutting through coastal or inland waters. With room for up to 8 people, these are good boats for family cruising or fishing.
Cabin Cruisers
This is a boat that, like the aft-cabin, plays a little fast and loose with strict definitions. If you can sleep on a boat, it’s a cabin cruiser. Now that doesn’t mean napping on a canoe or anything, but if the boat has specific accommodations meant for sleeping, no matter what other kind of boat it may be, it is also now a cabin cruiser. So it could also be a catamaran, a yacht, a flybridge, or any number of other vessels. But it would still also be a cabin cruiser. More specifically, though, a cabin cruiser will likely have a v-shaped hull, comfortable amenities for multiple passengers, and a secure drive shaft mechanism.
Catamarans are dual hull boats which gives them exceptional stability. Some catamarans also offer sails in addition to motors. They can give you better fuel economy and speed than monohull boats as well. Most catamarans are between 25’ and 40’. Though they have a lot of perks, they can also be pretty expensive compared to other boats.
Center Console
Just like the name suggests, a center console boat will have the helm controls located on a center console in the middle of the boat. The open hull design means you can walk all around the center console which is great for fishing, especially offshore. The motor is usually an outboard and length can range anywhere from a relatively small 13’ all the way to over 40’.
You’ll see these called cigarette boats and, more properly, go-fast boats. They’re long and narrow and built for speed as the “go-fast” name implies. These are performance boats so if you’re not into racing you’re not likely to come across one.
Convertible Boat
Convertible boats are big boats, starting at a minimum of 35’. They feature an open cabin and a flybridge and are ideal for offshore fishing and cruising. Fishing is done from the aft deck which should be a decent size for several anglers.
Smaller than a convertible, a cruiser can still be a good size of 21’ up to 45’. You’ll find a cabin up in the bow of the boat along with a galley and a head. There is enough room to make for a comfortable night’s stay.
Cuddy Cabin Boats
Cuddy cabins are usually between 22’ and 30’ and feature a storage cabin which is where the name comes from. They may have a small berth or even a head as well, but not what you’d call a proper sleeping cabin for extended nights on the water. These are great for coastal cruising and maybe a weekend getaway.
A deck boat is usually identified by its squared bow and boxy shape. They have a lot of deck space which is where the name comes from. These are not designed for speed but they are designed for group outings and can accommodate more people than many boats of a similar length. If you’re looking for a party or excursion boat, or even one for swimming and water sports, these are good choices.
A dinghy is a small boat best suited for just one or two people. A dinghy would reach 12’ in length at the maximum and will likely be considerably smaller. Many dinghies are not powered at all but they can be operated by small outboard engines. They can be inflatable or hard-sided boats and are often carried by larger vessels as emergency use boats.
Down East Cruiser
Sometimes called lobster boats these are actually designed based on east coast lobster boats. They feature a narrow entryway, comfortable accommodations and a lower helm station. Some may have fly bridges as well. The cabin should have a few berths and a dining area.
Dual Console
Like the name suggests, you have a pair of consoles and dashboards on a dual console . There will be a passageway between them to allow movement to the bow area. These are usually 16’ to 30’.
Express Boat
As you might guess, an express boat, or express fisherman, is designed with speed in mind. The cabin will be to the front and below the helm. These are great for offshore fishing, especially if you’re not interested in the slow cruising from place to place and want to get to your destination quickly.
Fishing Boat
Another entry that plays a little fast and loose with what exactly it means. A lot of boats can be fishing boats , after all. But typically, a fishing boat is going to have a trolling motor, reliable maneuvering, live wells and space for holding fishing rods. There may be a host of other features but those are the things you need in order to consider it a true fishing boat.
Flats boats are designed with shallow waters in mind. A long length and a very shallow draft make these good for waters other boats couldn’t handle. When things get very precarious and you can’t use your motor you’ll also have a push pole for navigation. A flats boat will likely not exceed 18’.
Houseboats can take a number of forms but most of us know one to see one as they often look like RVs on the water. Sizes can vary greatly from a smaller 25’ to 30’ all the way up to around 150’. Typically squared off at the ends and featuring a barge like hull, these have full amenities. Multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen and additional living spaces make these true houses on the water. These are best suited for calm, inland waters. They can be used for cruising, fishing and water sports but often are moored in a permanent location.
Inflatable Boat
These are good beginning boats for use in inland waters. They feature an inflatable hull though the floor is usually something rigid which could be anything from aluminum to wood. Buoyancy is provided by the outer tube of the boat which is filled with air and protected by a sturdy material that is resistant to tearing but is still less durable than something like fiberglass or aluminum. An outboard motor fixed to the transom provides power. Various boats like pontoon boats and dinghies may also be inflatable boats.
A jet boat is not, strictly speaking, a motorboat like many of these others but it is still a powerboat. The jet part of the name refers to the propulsion system which sucks into the jet propulsion unit and then forced out again with greater speed and force. There are no propellers involved. Any boat that uses a jet propulsion system is therefore a jet boat. Jet boats can attain high speeds and can also handle shallow waters more easily than motor boats.
A jon boat is a great basic or starter boat. Made of aluminum or sometimes fiberglass they have a flat bottom and are best used in shallower waters. They’re ideal for a fishing trip for one or two people and don’t have a lot of bells and whistles. They’re also pretty easy to handle and relatively inexpensive. If you have little experience with boating but want to try your hand at it on a lake or pond, especially for fishing, this is potentially something you’ll want to take a look at.
I don’t own a megayacht and probably never will but they still exist. To qualify as a megayacht it needs to be at least 200’ in length and can get up to 500’. These things aren’t sold at your local marina, they’re custom made for millionaires and billionaires. The 533-foot Eclipse megayacht features 24 guest cabins, two swimming pools and a missile-detection system.
Pilothouse Boat
A pilothouse boat obviously has the actual pilothouse as a prominent feature. This will be a fully enclosed structure which makes them ideal for use on rough seas. Because the pilot house is enclosed even in the worse storms the helmsman remains relatively safe and dry. A lot of commercial fishing type vessels have enclosed pilot houses but they are also well suited for cruising. At a length up to 35’ you can expect a cabin and a berth. Inboard, outboard or stern drive motors are all possibilities for a pilothouse boat.
Pontoon Boat
Pontoon boats use a pontoon system to stay afloat. Large aluminum or inflatable pontoons are the source of buoyancy and act as a foundation for the rest of the boat. Most pontoon boats feature these large, air-filled tubes on either side of the boat. Some models include a third pontoon in the center and may be referred to as a tritoon boat. Pontoon boats usually have a large deck surface and are great for fishing or as a family boat. Speed is not their strong suit but you can expect to get up to 30 mph in a modern pontoon.
Personal watercraft, sometimes abbreviated as PWC are also colloquially known as jet skis. Jet ski is actually a name brand much like Kleenex is a name brand of tissue but it shows the market dominance of that particular brand that many people will call any personal watercraft a jet ski. These vessels are best suited for one or two people maximum. They are often far cheaper than larger powerboats but obviously offer less versatility. Like jet boats, a personal watercraft uses jet propulsion so there is no propeller. They are recreational vehicles and are often used just for fun and racing in coastal or inland waters.
Rigid Inflatable Boat
This is a slight tweak to the idea of the inflatable boat mentioned earlier. Rigid inflatable boats, or RIBs, is kind of a combination of both an inflatable and a rigid boat. A rigid fiberglass or aluminum hull like you’d find on a traditional boat, is surrounded by inflatable tubes to increase buoyancy. Because of the combination of materials these are stronger and faster than normal inflatables and can carry a greater amount of weight. They also come in longer lengths than traditional inflatables.
This is another type of boat that is a sort of vaguely defined vessel and several other types of boats can qualify as a runabout. Typically this refers to a small vessel, so think under 25’. They’re powered by an outboard or sterndrive and can work as a fishing boat, a sport boat, or just a cruiser. If it’s small and fast, it could be called a runabout.
Sedan Bridge Boat
A sedan bridge boat would be considered a yacht by most people at first glance. They’re designed for cruising and have accommodations that make longer stays at sea comfortable. The cockpit is easily accessed and is high enough above the water, near the level of the boat’s aft deck to provide exceptional visibility. It’s not a boat intended for great speed but comfort during longer trips.
Ski Boat (Wakeboard Boat)
A ski and wakeboard boat is designed with water sports in mind. That means speed is the name of the game to allow for water skiing and wakeboarding. The design of a ski boat actually allows you to adjust the wake you produce. Ballast can be added so you make a larger wake and the person you’re towing can perform more tricks as a result.
With a flat bottom, a skiff and a jon boat are often hard to tell apart. A skiff usually has a more pointed bow, though it may be a little more rounded. They have a shallow draft and are well suited for navigating shallow waters as a result. They don’t feature too many bells and whistles and steering is typically managed at a center console.
A superyacht is between a regular yacht and a megayacht, which means between 100 feet and 200 feet. The most expensive yacht in the world is a superyacht called the History Eclipse which cost a baffling $1.5 billion and includes missile launchers, two helipads and its own mini-sub.
Strictly speaking, a yacht is another vessel that can be loosely defined. Under 100 feet, any cruising vessel that can accommodate overnight stays could potentially qualify as a yacht. Of course, most of us would associate the term with a high end vessel that features a number of luxuries as well.
Is It Feet in Length That Changes the Definition Between Boats?
You’ll notice for a lot of these boats that the difference seems to be little more than size. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the three yachts I’ve listed. A “normal” yacht hits 100 feet, while a super yacht gets up to 200 feet and a megayacht can reach 500 feet. If you get much longer than that you may be dealing with a cruise ship.
A lot of regulations regarding boats are determined by their length. This also affects insurance so it’s true, the length of a boat has a lot of importance in factoring what kind of boat it is, where it can be used, who can pilot it and what it will cost you.
The Bottom Line
Like I said before, this is not even an exhaustive list despite how many entries there are. New boats are being designed all the time and some terms cross over from one kind of boat to another in terms of definition. You can get anything from a multipurpose boat suitable for fishing or the ultimate family boat which is best suited to inland lakes. But this should serve as a good primer to start you off and help you identify whatever powered boats you’re seeing out there on the water. As always, stay safe and have fun.
My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

Top 10 powerboat racing icons that helped make boating what it is today
- Top stories
Hugo Peel explores the top ten power-boating events, people and inventions that have influenced today’s sportsboats...
Powerboat racing may seem a world away from the type of cruising most of us do but the sportsboats we enjoy today wouldn’t be half as good as they are without the racers, designers and builders whose heroic efforts helped shape them.
Auto-boat racing, as it was originally known, traces its history back to the late 19th century and for a brief period was even an Olympic sport, with races staged off the Isle of Wight in 1908. However, it wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that the sport exploded in popularity as developments in engineering, materials, speed, safety and propulsion really took off.
Racing was the anvil on which these promising technologies were forged. So what are the ten most significant events, inventions and people that have contributed to today’s impressive levels of performance, safety and utility?
While many of these names and events may be unfamiliar now, they are the stuff of legend to all who recall the glory days of British powerboat racing.
1. The Cowes-Torquay-Cowes offshore powerboat race
Many people regard offshore powerboat racing as the ultimate challenge for craft and crew. Arguably the most challenging race of all and certainly one of the oldest is the legendary Cowes-Torquay competition.
Initiated in 1961 by Daily Express newspaper magnate and keen yachtsman, Sir Max Aitken, who foresaw it would help grow the UK marine industry, it bred a string of British and international heroes and brands. This 200-mile race, now known as the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes, and its coveted Harmsworth Trophy, intermittently awarded since 1903, is still the one all top powerboat racers yearn to win.
The marathon Round Britain Powerboat Race started and finished off Portsmouth
2. The marathon Round Britain Powerboat Race
If a 200-mile race sounds challenging, the 1,500-mile endurance marathon that is the Round Britain Race is on an altogether different scale, yet it proved so appealing that it has been run three times over four decades.
The first BP-sponsored race in 1969 comprised ten stages over 1,459 miles and was won by Timo Mäkinen, a champion Finnish rally-driver in Avenger Too propelled by triple Mercury outboards – he averaged 37mph.
The 1984 race was sponsored by Everest double glazing and attracted famous names, including Italian racer/designer Fabio Buzzi driving White Iveco , a single-step GRP monohull with four 600bhp Iveco diesels. Against him was fellow Italian Renato della Valle in Ego Lamborghini , an aluminium-hull craft powered by two ear-splitting 800hp, race-tuned V12 Lamborghinis.

Victory went to Buzzi who, after the 157-mile Dundee-Whitby leg, during which White Iveco averaged a staggering 69 knots, dismissed it with shrug saying: ‘In Italy, this is just a cruising boat.’
The race was revived in 2008 attracting a field of 47 raceboats old and new, including a number of production RIBs and sportsboats from companies like Scorpion , Goldfish and Scanner. The favourites included Fabio Buzzi again in his classic four-engined Red FPT , and Austrian casino millionaire Hannes Bohinc in another Buzzi-designed monohull Wettpunkt .
This time the overall winner was a Greek entry Blue FPT navigated by Britain’s Dag Pike, who at 75 years old, was the event’s oldest competitor. Many of the production boats also did remarkably well, showing just how far they have come in recent years.
Steve Curtis MBE is powerboat racing royalty
3. Powerboat racer Steve Curtis
If the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes is the benchmark, surely the top driver must be found among its winners? Home-grown contenders must include Tommy Sopwith, a winner in 1961, 1968 and 1970 and the Gardner brothers, Charles and Jimmy, who clocked up victories in 1964 with their Bertram 31 Surfrider , and again in 1967 in the iconic Sonny Levi-designed Surfury .
On the worldwide stage, Italy’s Renato Della Valle won four Cowes Torquay Cowes races in a row from 1982 to 1985. Hannes Bohinc collected the trophies in 1995 and 2003 and another German, Markus Hendricks, whose boat sank on the 2008 Round Britain, took a re-engined 34-year-old monohull, Cinzano , to victory in 2009 and 2011.
They are all brilliant in their way but how could this category ignore the UK’s Steve Curtis MBE, owner of Cougar Marine, with no fewer than eight Class One powerboat racing world championships in fearsome 175mph catamarans? Curtis’s 2016 victory in the roughest ever Cowes Torquay Cowes race, in a 30-year-old aluminium boat sealed his place in the history books.
4. Lady Violet Aitken – the first lady of fast
The field of legendary female powerboat racers may be smaller but is no less worthy for it with three principal candidates – two titled British ladies and an American grandmother.
From the USA, Betty Cook – focussed, smart, and tough – arrived with her 36ft Cigarette Kaama and blew away the opposition in the 1978 Cowes Torquay Cowes race. She went on to secure two world championships.
The British aristocracy provides the eccentric and brave Countess of Arran, who fielded fast if unconventional designs of three-pointers like Highland Fling among others. She was described by The Guardian in her obituary as ‘beautiful, vivacious, funny, fun and entrancing’.
But our top female driver is Lady Violet Aitken, wife of Cowes-Torquay founder Sir Max Aitken and Ladies’ Trophy winner on several occasions. Racing is still in the blood as her daughter Laura and granddaughter Lucci are both keen powerboat racers.
Buzzi’s legendary status stems from 40 years of work in the marine industry
5. Powerboat designer Fabio Buzzi
The late Fabio Buzzi is a legend, both behind the helm and at the drawing board. In more than 40 years of activity, his company FB Design has won a staggering 52 world championships; seven Harmsworth Trophies; two Round Britains; and set no less than 56 world speed records in both European and American classes.
Buzzi designed the boat that has won more races than any other powerboat in history, the quadruple-engined, be-winged 44ft Cesa/Gancia dei Gancia . Today, the descendants of these monohull designs are found in service with government and military agencies all around the world, as well as leisure craft like the Sunseeker XS2000 and Hawk 38 .
But the competition is hard-fought. Sonny Levi’s delta-shaped race-boats A’Speranziella , Merry-go-Round , Alto Volante , and Surfury leave lasting memories by their sheer performance and poise. And their legacy, the Levi Corsair, is still made today.
The UK’s Don Shead also runs Buzzi close having designed ten Cowes-Torquay winners and the 1984 Round Britain race winner. The early Sunseeker ranges also came from his drawing board.
Peter Thornycroft and Alan Burnard merit attention as designers of the iconic Nelson and Fairey hulls respectively, many of which are still in service today. But the sheer scale of Fabio’s achievements trumps them all.
The Mercury V8 took powerboating to another level
6. The Mercury V8 engine
Early racers only had American petrol V8s for choice, mainly Ford Dearborn Interceptors, tweaked to deliver big torque and 300-400bhp. There were also a few marinised Jaguar straight-six engines, which consumed oil at a terrifying rate and were fragile. Then Carl Kiekhaefer, head of US outboard giant Mercury, refined numerous Mercury Racing V8s and Lamborghini V12s providing up to 850bhp and things took off. Literally.
To this market came car racing engineers Ilmor in the 1990s with a tuned Dodge Viper V10 engine, pushing out a reliable 700-800bhp. The Italians, at the behest of Fabio Buzzi, developed the 16-litre 1,000hp Seatek diesel for ultra-marathon events, providing unparalleled torque with (relatively) light weight and reliability.
A special mention for the maddest motors must go to Tommy Sopwith, who put a pair of helicopter turbines into a 44ft Don Shead hull delivering over 1500bhp and Domenico Achilli, who ‘glued’ two Subaru flat-four rally car engines together, and split our eardrums while winning the 1990 Cowes Torquay Cowes race.
But for sheer consistency and the countless number of ever-faster, smoother, more reliable production engines its powerboat racing successes have spawned, Mercury and its big displacement V8s have to take the crown.
Offering horizontal thrust and reduced drag, the sterndrive greatly increased the speed and efficiency of both race and pleasure craft
7. The sterndrive unit
Early shaft-driven race-boats normally placed engines amidships with straight shafts to the propellers. Then the vee-drive option enabled engines to be moved astern for better weight distribution but, in both cases, the angle of thrust was still pushing the hull ‘uphill’.
With the arrival of the sterndrive came horizontal thrust to harness the growing power of engines, and hugely reduced hydrodynamic drag by doing away with separate rudders, shafts and P-brackets. This greatly increased both speed and efficiency while the ability to trim the angle of thrust also enabled drivers to adjust the boat’s trim to suit differing sea conditions.
Surface-drives from Arneson and Trimax reduced drag even further but at the cost of low speed manoeuvrability and we mustn’t overlook the impact of the outboard engine on both race and leisure sportsboats.
However, for sheer versatility, the impact it has had on both powerboat racing and leisure craft, and its ability to work equally well with both petrol and diesel engines, the sterndrive has to take it.
Hunt’s deep-vee design proved a powerboat game-changer
8. Racing hull designer Ray Hunt
The most successful hull builders embraced the fast-developing world of engineering and materials as well as developments in design. Cold-molded mahogany plywood gave way to GRP, which in turn surrendered to carbon-fibre reinforced by Kevlar.
However, it’s hard to think of a bigger leap in hull design than Ray Hunt’s deep-vee concept, demonstrating an immediate and staggering superiority over previous hard and rounded chines. Nothing underpins this assertion better than Dick Bertram’s 1961 Miami-Nassau victory in his prototype Moppie – finishing a whole day ahead of the third-placed boat.
The likes of Levi, Shead and Bertram all helped refine the concept but the winner has to be Ray Hunt who, along with Dick Bertram’s investment and encouragement, became the grandfather of today’s sportsboats.

9. Speed record breaker Peter Dredge
World Water Speed records set by the likes of Donald Campbell’s Bluebird and Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic Challenger II are momentous achievements in their fields but their designs have bred few, if any, current sportsboats. Offshore powerboat racing records may not be as well publicised but are arguably far more relevant.
The average speed records of historic races like the Cowes Torquay Cowes race are a perfect demonstration of the improvements made in powertrains, hull design and strength. The first race in 1961 was won by a 24ft wooden Christina averaging 24.5mph. It took another two years to break 40mph, and a further four to exceed 50mph. In 1969 the record tumbled again with an average speed of over 60mph.
A gap of six years then ensued before the record climbed over 70mph and a further 13 years for technology to reach an average exceeding 80mph. A very calm race in 1990 saw the Italians hit over 90mph average – and then we waited 25 years before that speed was finally exceeded in 2015.
So until that record is beaten, preferably with a speed of more than 100mph, our winner is the current record holder Peter Dredge who propelled the awesome 1,500bhp, 44ft Vector Martini to victory at a remarkable average speed of 94.5mph.
Dag Pike, the brains behind so many great powerboat victories
10. National treasure Dag Pike
No top ten list could be complete without mention of those quiet but significant contributors to the sport of offshore powerboat racing. Among those names must be Class-3 racer, commentator, sport historian and MBY ’s longest-serving contributor Ray Bulman, who passed away last year .
The racer, organiser, enthusiast and flamboyant, chain-smoking Tim Powell also has to be in the running. Other characters like Commander Petroni of Italy’s Tornado Racing Team and Tommy Sopwith’s regular crew Charles de Selincourt, who guided him to victory in several Cowes Torquay Cowes races also deserve mentions.
But my National Treasure award goes to Dag Pike; writer, raconteur and navigator extraordinaire who has been the brains behind countless race wins for dozens of different drivers. Having been shipwrecked eight times himself but also having rescued more than eight people in his long career offshore, he has in his own words ‘balanced the books’.
The last word
As with any top ten list it can never be comprehensive and will always be open to differences of opinion but that’s not the point of this article. We simply invite you to ponder that, whatever boat you drive and whatever propels it, its performance and seaworthiness possesses at least some of the DNA of the many great raceboats, designers, engineers and technologies, forged in the heat of offshore battle.
