Definitely the best.

To be fair though, for all we know unsinkable 1 didn’t sink but blew up or something.

Unsinkable II def top of the game.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's the one I don't get.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cirrhosis is what happens to your liver if you drink too much

These are all good but it isn’t even close.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I named my kayak Whoops, but put the letters on it upside down.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This would be even more epic if you do manage to flip it one day

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I have flipped it lmao. Only like twice, but it was fuckin hilarious each time.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It reads Whoops when you flip.

I worked for a marina when I was a ~~child~~ teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named

[–] X@piefed.world 16 points 1 month ago

“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.

They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.

Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.

Years ago in a Devon fishing village

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Once you're done with whatever you hired them for, do you have to declare it managed?

[–] core@leminal.space 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Damage@feddit.it 13 points 1 month ago

Pier pressure Is my favorite

[–] baseball2020@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 month ago

Prawn star was the best I’ve seen

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Woah, I've seen "wood not" and "wood too"! Small world

I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

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:

Had a friend whose dad named his boat The Other Woman.

Relevant Flintstones

(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?
