Not all of us are lucky enough to own a boat. Those luxurious beauties might be fun, but boy are they expensive. Theyโ€™re a big investment for more reason than one.

People who own boats take a lot of pride in them. That goes for everything from their names to their upkeep. Naming a boat is seen as a big responsibility. Itโ€™s considered bad luck to change the name of a boat (plus, itโ€™s a nightmare when it comes to paperwork). So, suffice it to say, itโ€™s not a decision to make lightly. In some instances, it takes people years to choose a name.

Back in the day, most boat owners went with a grandiose name. They might call their boat โ€œMajestyโ€ or โ€œThe Paradise.โ€ But these days, thereโ€™s a trend with boat names: naming them something, well, fun.

Most of the time, this involves some sort of nautical pun, which shouldnโ€™t come as a surprise. A lot of people who can afford to buy boats are getting up in years โ€” and theyโ€™re often male. So, it makes sense theyโ€™d appreciate a good dad joke.

Enjoy these 75 pictures of boats with hilarious namesโ€ฆand keep an eye out the next time youโ€™re at the beach.
