Naming your boat is one of those things that seems simple—until you sit down and try to do it. Whether you’re registering it or just want something clean on the transom, the right name should reflect a bit of who you are and how you spend your time on the water.
Where to Start When Naming Your Boat
If you’re not sure where to begin, here are a few solid ways to find inspiration:
- Personal Connection – Think about your own story or the people who are always with you on the boat. That alone can lead to something meaningful.
- Subtle Wordplay – A clever twist can go a long way, especially if it ties into your background or sense of humor.
- Your Time on the Water – Whether you fish, cruise, or spend weekends on the dock, the way you use your boat might point you toward the right name.
- Shared Experiences – Inside jokes, common reactions, or even how others see you on the water can shape a name that feels authentic.
Why We Chose Sea’n Double
We named our boat Sea’n Double because I have a twin, and we’re almost always out there together. We’ve heard all the double-take comments over the years, and the name just made sense—it’s simple, personal, and gets a smile from people who catch it.
Make It Your Own
The best boat names usually come from somewhere personal—not forced, not overthought. Just something that fits. Once you’ve landed on the right name, the next step is making it look the part.
At Vessel Visuals, we help turn boat names into clean designs, transom-ready graphics, and gear that reflects your style. If you’re ready to bring yours to life:
