This review is from: Boat Naming Made Simple: The Complete Book 3rd edtion (Boating Made Simple.) (Paperback)

Charming book with not only ideas for naming your boat but the history and amusing stories about those names. Even has boat naming and renaming ceremonies. If you have a nameless boat, you need this book!

This review is from: Boat Naming Made Simple: The Complete Book 3rd edtion (Boating Made Simple.) (Paperback)

This book is useful because of the variety of information - the "boat naming rituals", and how to apply a boat name to your boat. Separate fishing and powerboat categories are helpful, but not to windsticks (sailboats). But if you're looking for pure ideas for boat names, your best bet might be the 35,000 randomly generated boat names available for nothing on the website for firstboat.
