I saw a post a long time ago about a “Sea plus plus” boat.

    I saw a boat named, "más tequila" and the guy towing the boat was driving way too fast for the weight. He got a flat tire and I kept thinking about how he was going to have menos tequila.

    I assume naming a boat something alcohol related results in more cops checking them out.

    I always loved boat names, and I give names to many of my things, like phones and computers

    "Wood too" and "Wood not" is a missed opportunity for "Wood naut"

    Boats and beach houses. Something about being close to the water must prime the dad joke cortex. Scientists, please investigate.

    Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.

    “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.”

    Should'a been "Wood Knot", or even "Wood Naut".

    If you're not dad naming your boat, you're doing it wrong.

    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.

    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.

    The "-holic" suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from "alcoholic", but it's commonly used now. So the boat's name just means "water addict", there's nothing punny about it.

    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:

    If these are dad jokes, what would a funny name that isn't a "dad joke" be like?

    I'm not sure it's possible to humorously name a boat without getting punny in the dad way.

    Unless it's a yacht or some other super expensive kind, then you can do villainous puns in stead like naming it what less egotistical people could have spent the money on, I guess 🤷

    "College Fund" would be an example of BOTH simultaneously IMO

    I guess you could also give it a Gen Alpha slang name that someone old enough to be a dad is too old to understand.

    Like, call the boat "Low Key Salty". Simultaneously a play on words and Gen Alpha slang. Best if used for an ocean-going boat docked in the Florida keys.
