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:

Definitely the best.

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

Where’s “wet dream”?

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

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

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

That's the one I don't get.

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

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

Unsinkable II def top of the game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It reads Whoops when you flip.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.

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

Pier pressure Is my favorite

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

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

Years ago in a Devon fishing village

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

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

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

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

[–] baseball2020@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

Prawn star was the best I’ve seen

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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.

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

If these are dad jokes, what would a funny name that isn't a "dad joke" be like?
