Tips and Advice for Trying to Come Up with a Name for a Fishing Boat
There are not a lot of rules and regulations when it comes to giving your fishing boat a name. However, there are a few universally accepted practices (both written and unwritten) that must be followed for the sake of safety, practicality, and ease of communication.
Check out the list of tips and advice you need to know for your fishing boat below:
- Keep your fishing boat name short and sweet. It is such an eyesore to look at an extremely long boat name that had to be painted on the boat with unreasonably small text size. A common practice all around the world, regardless of the shape, size, or purpose of the boat, is to limit the word length to approximately three words (English language). Two words is the most ideal and one word is the most practical (but it would be rather difficult to thinking of a one-word boat name that best represents you).
- Our suggestions for the best fishing boat names are not absolute and everything in this list is subjective. If you happen to not like or fall in love with any of our fishing boat name suggestions listed above, that is completely fine. As a fishing boat owner (or future fishing boat owner), the honor and privilege of giving your boat any name are totally up to you. If you feel like a more personal fishing boat name is more appropriate, or perhaps a word (or string of words) that is not common to fishing boats is more fitting, then please go with that fishing boat name instead.
- Absolutely avoid naming your boat after emergency signals and call signs (see banned boat names). Unlike the pieces of advice mentioned earlier, this one is actually enforced by the regulations of the US Coast Guard. They have provided a provision stating, more or less, that boat names should not be identical or similar in sound to any of the emergency signals or call signs used in sea travel. Names to avoid include (but are not limited to) “Mayday, Mayday,” “Capsized Boat,” and “Fire Alert.”
Conclusion
Picking a fishing boat name is such a fun and exciting process. Unlike airplanes and cars, fishing boats truly require a label so that each can be properly identified during communication and emergency situations.
Take your time, a few days if you must, and make sure to get your name right the first time (as it is allegedly bad luck to change your boat name a second time). We hope these fishing boat names have inspired some great ideas for you.
