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

My Dad's sailboat was Passing Wind
Where’s “wet dream”?
Unsinkable II def top of the game.
Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.
These are all good but it isn’t even close.
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
I have flipped it lmao. Only like twice, but it was fuckin hilarious each time.
I worked for a marina when I was a ~~child~~ teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named

“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.
Alcoholic?
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
Once you're done with whatever you hired them for, do you have to declare it managed?
If you're not dad naming your boat, you're doing it wrong.
Pier pressure Is my favorite
Prawn star was the best I’ve seen
Should'a been "Wood Knot", or even "Wood Naut".
I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).
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.

From Dexter
First boat from Canada ?
No, that's his brother's cobbler shop.
One dude had "Hail Seaser".
wakey wakey
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:
The best ones ive seen in person have to do with divorce
But cirrhosis of the river is hilarious

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