257 Creative Name Ideas for New Boats and Renaming Old Boats

Naming a boat is a big deal.

Not only does a boat’s name reflect on the owner, but the ceremony of naming (and renaming…but we’ll come back to that) your boat is part of a centuries-long tradition.

If I say, Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria , don’t the names conjure up vivid images of other times, countries, sailors, exploration–in short, a world of naval associations? 

But choosing a name doesn’t have to be all so serious. Naming or renaming a boat is also an excellent opportunity to express yourself and your values. Though some people fondly name their cars, there’s nothing like the freedom to name your boat. Make the most of your choice!

Renaming a Boat

We want to cover the issue of renaming old boats before getting on with our boat name ideas. 

If you’ve inherited a boat or simply want to rename an existing boat, there are a few extra steps to go through. It’s common for boat owners to go through a ceremony before renaming a ship. It’s supposed to ward off Poseidon, the sea-gods, and his wrath. Although it’s totally up to you, we recommend using some of the following rules before renaming a boat.

  • Remove all signs and evidence of the boat’s previous name. 
  • Commence the traditional purging ceremony
  • Rename your boat
  • Recite a short speech to the four winds
  • Enjoy the rest of the champagne with friends and family!

Now that we’ve covered renaming an old boat and gotten some preliminary info out of the way, let’s get started on our list of boat name ideas!

257 Creative Name Ideas For New Boats

We split up the list into a few sections to make it a little easier to navigate or zero in on the kind of name you are already interested in.

Most Popular Yachts Names

Yacht Serenity name display

Naming a yacht is a highly personal experience, and every yachter approaches the task with his or her own superstitions and quirks. Some choose nautical themes, others use symbols of fortune. And some: They just use a pun, like “seas the day.”

Bottom line, no two yachters are alike. Everyone brings their own flair to naming a vessel.

Olympic-winning skipper Sir Ben Ainslie, for example, names every one of his boats RITA. (Even the boats he won Olympic gold sailing.) And Richard Branson named his luxury catamaran “Necker Belle,” choosing to name the yacht after his private Caribbean hideaway.

Many choose to name their yachts after symbols of luck. Guitarist and musician Eric Clapton aptly named his 31-meter Camper & Nicholsons yacht Blue Guitar (as he’s famously strummed away at a baby blue Fender for years.) Actor Johnny Depp found inspiration from his wife and daughter. His yacht Vajoliroja is a mash-up of both their names.

Of course, this isn’t a new trend. Crews and sailors have been coming up with names for their ships for so long, we’re not even sure why the trend began.

La Nina, La Pinta and La Santa Maria – boat names made famous by Christopher Columbus – actually were invented by his crews (and, you’d probably never guess, each name was inspired by a lady of the night).

The tradition isn’t just reserved for naming boats. There’s also plenty of superstition tied to renaming boats as well. The legend goes you have to clear a name change with Poseidon first.

So what makes a yacht names popular? Well, looking at the top names in our yacht database, it’s easy to see a few common trends.

Plenty of boats are named after symbols of good luck. They use nautical inspirations. And many are often inspired by the peaceful of open-sea sailing. (Tranquillity, for instance, is a top boat name.)

Take a look at Boat International’s list of the year’s Top Yacht Names and you’ll see that many of these trends continue. Here are some of the most popular yacht names in 2018:

Yachting offers respite from the modern world, and many yacht owners choose names that conjure up peacefulness. Serenity, though, is by far the most popular. There are more than 300 yachts named Serenity in the U.S. alone. And if you check our database you’ll find more than a few, including this 131.5′ motor yacht available for charter.

You’ll find plenty of names that play off the theme being free (i.e. Escape and Independence are quite popular). But Freedom comes in at No. 1 on Boat International’s list. In fact, more than 250 yachts share the name, including 5 superyachts.

Every day on charter is an adventure, and that’s what makes this Latin phrase for “seize the day” so fitting for yachts. The name seems perfect for this 150-foot luxury charter yacht, Cape Diem II.

You won’t find a literal translation for the Hawaiian word Ohana; it’s more of an idea meaning all of the people that matter to you in your life. And the idea also happens to make a popular boat name, including for this 60-foot charter catamaran .

The popular song by Frank Sinatra (or The Who, depending on who you ask) conjures up a freeing, live-by-your-one rules way of life. And that’s why yachters have been christening their boats with the name for decades.

You’ll see plenty of yachts with Italian inspired names. And it makes sense: Italy is a hub for Mediterranean yachting and shipbuilding. Andiamo – which means “let’s go” – tops the list, taking the fourth spot on Boat International’s list.

A popular theme in yacht naming is fate. Serendipity, for instance, is the name of 146 boats in the U.S. It’s also the name of this 98-foot Westship charter yacht .

Endless Summer

Endless Summer fits nicely with the idea of yachting – always in pursuit of the next adventure, undiscovered beach and incredible experience. Many yachts – 125, to be exact – call themselves Endless Summer, but none as luxurious as this brand new 2017 charter yacht .

Many boats have astronomical-themed names, but Blue Moon is hands down the most popular. Nearly 200 boats have this name in the U.S.

What’s in a (Yacht) Name?

Looking at these popular yacht names, it appears yacht owners share similar naming sensibilities. We have our nautical-inspired names and a few common themes like freedom/escape, adventure, fortune, and peacefulness.

Do’s and Don’ts

Here are some key do’s and don’ts to consider when choosing a name for a boat:

  • Do make it personal: Choose a boat name that reflects your personality, interests, or something meaningful to you.
  • Do consider the boat’s purpose: Think about the primary use of the boat and choose a name that aligns with it.
  • Do keep it short and easy to pronounce: A concise and clear name is memorable and easy for others to understand.
  • Do choose a unique name: Stand out from the crowd by selecting a boat name that is distinctive and not commonly used.
  • Do consider nautical or boating themes: Incorporate elements related to the sea, sailing, or boating to add a touch of nautical charm to the name.
  • Do check for offensive or inappropriate connotations: Ensure the chosen name does not have any unintended negative or offensive associations.
  • Do consider wordplay or clever puns: A witty or clever boat name can make it more memorable and fun.
  • Do check for existing boat names: Research to make sure the name you choose is not already in use to avoid confusion.
  • Don’t choose a generic name: Avoid generic or overused boat names that may blend in with others on the water.
  • Don’t select a name that is difficult to spell or pronounce: Keep it simple and avoid complex or hard-to-pronounce names.
  • Don’t choose a name that is too long: Long names can be challenging to read and remember.
  • Don’t use offensive or controversial language: Stay away from any names that may be offensive, controversial, or inappropriate.
  • Don’t limit yourself to trends: While trendy names may seem appealing at the moment, they can quickly become outdated.
  • Don’t forget to consider future resale: If you plan to sell the boat in the future, choose a name that has broad appeal and is not overly personalized.
  • Don’t rush the decision: Take your time to brainstorm, consider options, and choose a name that you genuinely love.
  • Don’t disregard local regulations: Check if there are any local regulations or restrictions on boat names in your area and ensure your chosen name complies with them.

Naming a boat is an exciting opportunity to give your vessel identity and share it with the world.

Take your time to think about why you own the boat, and choose a name that represents you, your goals, and the style of boating you enjoy most.

Classic Boat Name Ideas

When selecting a perfect name for your vessel, you may consider choosing from the treasure trove of  classic boat name ideas . These names have weathered many a storm and still hold their charm and elegance, resonating with the grace and tradition of seafaring.

  • Sea Queen : This name evokes a sense of majesty and control over the vast ocean.
  • Black Pearl : Popularized by film, it suggests mystery and adventure.
  • Freedom : This name carries the essence of what it means to sail—unbound and unrestrained.

In my search for timeless names, it’s clear that names such as  Odyssey  and  Poseidon  connect to the rich mythology and history of exploration, while names like  Endeavour  [ reflect an adventurous spirit ].

For a touch of regal elegance:

  • Majestic Lady : Portrays a sophisticated and noble vessel.

Names that resonate a peaceful journey:

  • Serenity : Perfect for conveying a tranquil experience at sea.

Choosing such a classic name for your boat will certainly bestow a sense of permanence and legacy, anchoring your maritime adventures in a lineage of maritime tradition. Remember, a boat’s name isn’t merely a label; it’s a declaration of what she represents to you and the waters she navigates.

Creative Boat Name Ideas

When I’m brainstorming boat names, I aim for a mix of whimsy, relevance, and individuality. Here’s a breakdown of creative names segmented by the vibe they exude.

Adventure-Seeking Names:

  • Voyage Vanguard
  • Mariner’s Mirage
  • Questline Skipper

These names evoke a sense of exploration. I believe a boat is not just a vessel; it’s a gateway to adventures unknown.

Luxury and Elegance:

  • Opulent Odyssey
  • Majestic Marina
  • Sovereign Seas

For a more lavish touch, these names are chosen to reflect the sophistication of a high-end yacht navigating the blue expanses.

Humorous and Witty:

  • Knot on Call
  • Seas the Day
  • Nautical But Nice

A boat name with a pun reflects a laid-back and fun atmosphere. It’s a conversation starter at the marina and showcases my lighter side.

Inspired by Nature:

  • Ocean Whisper
  • Coral Caravel
  • Zephyr’s Quest

These names pay homage to the elements and creatures of the sea. I select them to signify my respect for the marine environment I’m traversing.

Classics with a Twist:

  • Sea Siren Redux
  • Enduring Empress
  • Eternal Voyager 2.0

I choose these for a traditional feel with a modern edge. These names stand the test of time while still feeling fresh.

When I compile boat names, I balance between the essence of my boat and a reflection of my personal narrative. Each selected name carries a story ready to be unfurled on the vast canvas of the sea.

Luxury Yacht Name Ideas

When I brainstorm luxury yacht names, I think of refinement, elegance, and the spirit of maritime adventure. Selecting an appropriate name for a yacht can reflect the owner’s personality or aspirations. Here are some ideas that might inspire:

Classical Allure :

  • Odyssey  – paying homage to the epic voyages of Greek legend.
  • Aurora  – inspired by the Roman goddess of dawn, signifying new beginnings.

Oceanic Majesty :

  • Sovereign Seas  – denotes a commanding presence over the waters.
  • Empyrean Wave  – evokes a sense of the heavenly or sublime in the vast ocean.

Modern Opulence :

  • Eclipse  – suggests a yacht of such distinction it overshadows others.
  • Quantum  – signifies modernity and cutting-edge technology.

Personal Touch :

  • Mystique  – a name that can reflect the owner’s enigmatic presence.
  • Serendipity  – for those who chance upon great and fortunate discoveries.

Bold Adventure :

  • Voyager  – perfect for a yacht built to explore distant shores.
  • Destiny’s Horizon  – a name that speaks to the future and what lies beyond.

Each name has its own character and hint of narrative. If I’m choosing a name for a luxury yacht, I’d consider how it will resonate with guests and the legacy I intend for the yacht. Remember, a yacht’s name often becomes its identity and a reflection of the adventures it will undertake.

Fishing Boat Name Ideas

When choosing a name for my fishing boat, I consider factors like personal interests, humor, and the character of my boating experiences. A great name can be a conversation starter and reflect my personality or attitude towards fishing.

Classic Names

  • Serenity Fisher

  • Angler’s Quest

These timeless names honor the tradition of fishing and have a certain gravitas that speaks to my dedication to the sport.

Humor is always a good angle—I love a good pun, and these names are sure to get a chuckle at the docks.

Inspired by my zest for fishing adventures, these names evoke the excitement and exploration inherent in the pursuit of the next big catch.

Inspirational Boat Name Ideas

yachts with names

Choosing an inspirational name for your boat sets a tone of positivity and motivation for every journey it undertakes. I’ve compiled a list of ideas that might resonate with mariners looking for that perfect moniker that not only reflects their aspirations but also serves as a beacon of inspiration.

  • Liberty : This name denotes freedom and the sense of independence that comes with the maritime lifestyle. It’s a reminder of the open seas and the autonomy they represent.
  • Dreamcatcher : For those who see their vessel as a vessel of ambition and pursuit, this name captures the essence of chasing and fulfilling dreams upon the waves.
  • Horizons : A suggestion of the endless possibilities that lie beyond the bow of the boat, encouraging explorers to venture into the unknown.
  • Starboard Dream : A creative twist that might appeal to those looking for a nautical touch in their inspirational name.
  • Voyage of Vision : Suggesting every trip is part of a larger quest or dream.

Remember, these names can often hold personal significance, so I recommend choosing one that not only appeals to you aesthetically but also aligns with your own values or life experiences. Whether it’s an homage to nature, a reflection of personal liberty, or a playful twist on words, your boat’s name can be a source of inspiration for every voyage you embark on.

Naming Ceremony

Renaming your boat is an important milestone, and it deserves a proper ceremony to celebrate the occasion. Here are some tips for planning a memorable naming ceremony for your vessel.

Traditions and Superstitions

Naming boats has been a tradition for centuries, dating back to ancient times when sailors believed that boats had souls. According to legend, vessels are recorded by name in the Ledger of the Deep and are known to Neptune or Poseidon, who is the god of the sea.

So, if you wish to change the name of our boat, the first thing you must do is purge its name from the Ledger of the Deep and from Poseidon's memory.

Today, boat names are still an important part of the boating culture, and many boaters take pride in choosing a name that reflects their love of the sea.

One popular tradition is to pour champagne or other libations on the bow of the boat to appease the gods and ensure safe voyages.

Another tradition is to invite friends and family to witness the ceremony and participate in the festivities.

Planning Your Ceremony

When planning your boat naming ceremony, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, choose a date and time that works for you and your guests. Consider the weather, tides, wind, and other factors that may affect the ceremony.

Next, decide on the location for the ceremony. Many boaters choose to hold the ceremony at the marina or yacht club where the boat dock is. Others prefer to hold the ceremony on the water, either at anchor or underway.

Finally, think about the elements you want to include in the ceremony. Will you recite a poem or prayer? Will you have a special guest or speaker? Will you unveil a new nameplate or other decoration for the boat?

Whatever you choose, make sure the ceremony reflects your personality and the spirit of your boat. This is a special occasion, and it should be celebrated in a way that is meaningful to you and your guests.

1. Reflect Your Brand Identity: Your company's name should reflect the essence of your business. Consider the type of boats you'll offer, your target market, and your company's values. Whether you're focused on luxury yachts, fishing boats, or eco-friendly tours, your name should capture the essence of your brand.

2. Keep It Memorable: A memorable name is key to building brand recognition. Think of names that are easy to remember and pronounce. Avoid overly complicated or lengthy names that may confuse potential customers.

3. Create Visual Appeal: Imagine your company's name on signage, business cards, and your website. Visualize how it will look in different fonts and styles. A name that's visually appealing and versatile is a valuable asset.

4. Nautical Inspiration: Draw inspiration from nautical terms, imagery, and concepts. Words like "wave," "tide," "anchor," "mariner," or "captain" can evoke a strong connection to the marine industry.

5. Geographic Influence: Consider incorporating the location or region where your boat company is based or where you'll primarily operate. This can create a sense of authenticity and local appeal.

6. Test the Name: Before finalizing your decision, say the name out loud to assess its phonetic appeal. Share it with friends, family, or potential customers to gather feedback.

7. Research Competitors: Research your competitors to ensure your company name stands out. Avoid names that are too similar to established businesses in your industry.

8. Check Domain Availability: Securing an online presence is vital - no matter where your business operates. Check if the domain name for your company's website is available on a site like Namecheap . Consistency in branding across all platforms is essential.

9. Legal Considerations: Check trademark databases to ensure your chosen name is not already registered by another business. It's important to avoid legal disputes down the road.

10. Consider Longevity: Think about your company's long-term goals. While a trendy name may be appealing now, it may not age well. Choose a name that has lasting appeal.

11. Seek Inspiration: Read books, watch documentaries, and explore nautical history for inspiration. You might find a unique name that resonates with your vision.

12. Be Descriptive: Your company name should give potential customers a sense of what you offer. Incorporate descriptive words like "adventures," "tours," "yachts," or "charters."

13. Involve Others: Don't hesitate to involve your team or trusted advisors in the decision-making process. Fresh perspectives can lead to innovative name ideas.

14. Stay Open to Creativity: Be open to creativity and brainstorming sessions. Sometimes, the best names emerge when you let your imagination run free.

15. Embrace Your Passion: Let your passion for the marine industry shine through your company's name. A name that reflects your enthusiasm can be contagious and attract like-minded customers.

16. Align with Your Mission: If your boat company has a strong mission or values, consider how your name can align with those principles. It can create a deeper connection with customers who share your values.

Remember that your boat company's name is more than just words; it's the first impression you'll make on potential customers.

With these tips, you can navigate the process of choosing a name that encapsulates your vision, resonates with customers, and motivates you to set sail on your entrepreneurial journey.

Sailing: Emirates Team New Zealand officially launch new boat Taihoro for 2024 America's Cup defence

Emirates Team New Zealand's new AC75 is rolled out. Credits: Image - Emirates Team New Zealand, video - Newshub

Emirates Team New Zealand have officially launched their boat for this year's America's Cup, a brand new AC75 foiling monohull named Taihoro.  

The boat was blessed and named at a ceremony at the team's Auckland base on Thursday afternoon as Team NZ's secret weapon to regaining the America's Cup was revealed.    

After a 10-month long build, Team NZ skipper Peter Burling couldn't be happier with the vessel.

"All our tools have led us to this point so far, but we're under no illusions we've got a hard push from here right to the Cup to stay ahead of our competitors."   

The name Taihoro, given by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, was inspired by Taihoro-Nukurangi, and translates to 'move swiftly as the sea between both sky and earth'.  

"Taihoro-Nukurangi [Tai] being the marine space, [Horo] meaning to be fast, be swift, [Nuku] being the land, [Rangi] being the sky," said Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei's Kingi Makoare.

More from Newshub

Even after six campaigns, Team NZ designer Dan Bernasconi says it's hard to know how they'll compare on the water, with many teams yet to showcase their boat and foil designs.

"I think when you look at, the other competitor's boats you can sort of see they've gone through the same questions as we have and come out with slightly different answer," said Bernasconi.  

But he's cautiously optimistic.  

"I certainly hope it's the fastest."

Swiss team Alinghi were the first to launch their boat in early April while Luna Rossa revealed their Italian-inspired masterpiece on Tuesday as the race to be the best in Barcelona takes shape.

The mystery of Amelia Earhart may soon be solved if the plane-shaped mass discovered in the Pacific Ocean late last year turns out to be her long-lost Lockheed 10-E Electra.

Tony Romeo and his Deep Sea Vision team — which captured the sonar image of the familiar-looking object during a December expedition to find her plane — are planning a second trip to what they believe could be Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan’s watery grave.

Last week, The Post examined what condition the infamous aircraft could be in after nearly nine decades at 15,000 feet in the Pacific Ocean and what the surviving damage could tell us about how the pair spent their final moments.

Getting to the wreck, however, presents its own cache of questions.

An undated picture taken in the 1930' s shows American female aviator Amelia Earhart at the controls of her plane.

What will recovery of Amelia Earhart’s plane look like?”

Retrieving the wreckage will be a long and arduous — and expensive — mission.

The depth where her plane is purported to be has been integral to preserving the suspected aircraft — but will prove to be a detriment to recovery expeditions.

At nearly 3 miles undersea — more than 3,000 feet deeper than the Titanic — the intense pressure makes it risky to send people to investigate the scene, leading the Deep Sea Vision team to look toward utilizing remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to carry most of the load.

Ocean engineering expert M. Reza Alam pointed out that it will likely take multiple ROVs to work in painstakingly accurate tandem to lift the massive plane off the ocean floor.

Because the infamous Lockheed 10-E Electra will be in some stage of decay, the machines will need to work slowly to move it to ensure no pieces are accidentally ripped apart.

“The remains have a fragile state,” Alam told The Post.

“They are properly broken in pieces. They have corroded parts that are susceptible to more damage during recovery attempts, so it must be handled with extreme care,” he continued, adding that marine organisms have also taken over the plane, transforming it into a living vessel.

AMELIA EARHART's Lockheed Electra 10E Special, NR16020 Airplane, Honolulu Airport, Hawaii in 1937.

The technicians operating the ROVs would also need to keep the contents of the cabin in mind — particularly the delicate handwritten notes and maps that the Deep Sea Vision team hopes have survived nearly nine decades underwater, but could tear at the slightest sloshing.

Although the machines will be equipped with cameras, each would need an almost 3-mile-long cable to connect to the ship above to transmit any form of wireless communication, including Wi-Fi and GPS.

The logistical challenges don’t even touch the possibility of environmental-related or weather-related problems that could arise on the mission, which Alam estimates will take several days to complete.

With many ROVs costing upward of $200,000 per day, the recovery crew could be shelling out a couple of million dollars at a minimum to resurrect the iconic aircraft.

The Deep Sea Vision team has not decided whether or not it would send humans down to the site, which could pose the risk of an  implosion as seen with the Titan submersible disaster  last year.

“A lot of challenges are there: pressure, depth, underwater wireless communication, environmental conditions, strong currents, rough seas, unpredictable weather storms. These all make the recovery operations difficult and dangerous,” said Alam, the American Bureau of Shipping chair for ocean engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

Where would Earhart’s plane go?

Once fully recovered from the ocean’s depths, Earhart’s plane would go through several heavy rounds of probing.

The federal National Transportation Safety Board would lead the investigative charge into the crash — but only after a positive identification of the wreckage.

The government’s role would be obligatory whether or not the plane was recovered from international or US waters because it was registered to an American.

Several other stakeholders could come out of the woodwork to get their hands on Earhart’s infamous plane, including Purdue University, the Illinois institution where she worked as a career counselor and adviser to the Department of Aeronautics from 1935 until her 1937 disappearance.

The university — which helped fund the red Vega plane Earhart flew on her historic 1932 journey across the Atlantic and US — was in talks to retain her aircraft for exhibition purposes before she vanished and has since discussed potentially displaying the Electra 10-E airplane, if recovered, at the under-construction Amelia Earhart Terminal at the Purdue University Airport.

While the plane’s future is far from certain, Romeo would like to see it embark on a “traveling expedition” across the country, with a stop in her hometown of Atchison, Kansas, and a final resting place at the National Air and Space Museum — right next to her red Vega plane.

According to Romeo, that dream is shared by her surviving family.

“I see them, as I think the family does, too, as fallen soldiers in a war and we’re bringing them home. Any argument that says we should leave them down there — I actually think that’s disrespectful,” Romeo said.

“If we find their grave site — bring them back home. I think she’d want that. I don’t think she wants to be sitting at the Pacific ,” he continued.

“Eventually the plane is going to disintegrate. In a couple hundred years, the plane will be gone.”

What’s next for Earhart’s plane?

Unfortunately, it will be a few more years before the public can set their eyes on Earhart’s long-lost plane — if the mass seen in the sonar images is indeed her aircraft.

Deep Sea Vision is still mapping out its plans for its second visit to the site, where it will deploy ROVs to get a closer look and — hopefully — confirm it’s Earhart’s plane.

Only then could the crew plan their third mission, which would involve the steps for recovery.

“As you can imagine, getting these expeditions together is, logistically, quite a challenge. You’ve got people, you’ve got equipment, there’s very few ships actually available in that area of the central Pacific, believe it or not,” Romeo said.

The second voyage is tentatively planned for early 2025, with an optimistic possibility it can begin at the end of 2024.

That doesn’t mean Romeo and his team might not sneak another trip in before then to visit the potential crash zone — the location of which they have kept top-secret since the discovery.

“We’ve talked about going back secretly and looking at things. I wouldn’t confirm or deny that, but I would say that we have talked about that possibility,” he teased.
