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
Boats and beach houses. Something about being close to the water must prime the dad joke cortex. Scientists, please investigate.
Unsinkable 2 got me
Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.
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
Myoobs ? I'm lost
“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.”

Years ago in a Devon fishing village
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.
Woah, I've seen "wood not" and "wood too"! Small world
I worked for a marina when I was a child teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named

First boat from Canada ?
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.
Alcoholic?
They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.
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.
Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze
It's a play on alcoholic
It would have been a play if it was named in the 1960's.
Where's the C-Word?
The best ones ive seen in person have to do with divorce
But cirrhosis of the river is hilarious
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:

(Sorry about the shitty video quality; it's the only copy I've ever been able to find.)
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.
My dad's friend had a boat named the "Oy Vey"
what does it mean ?
