Definitely the best.

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

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

It hit an iceberg.

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

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

That's the one I don't get.

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

Unsinkable II def top of the game.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

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

“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.”

I worked for a marina when I was a ~~child~~ teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named

Years ago in a Devon fishing village

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

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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 4 weeks ago (6 children)
[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 weeks ago

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

Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.

Pier pressure Is my favorite

Prawn star was the best I’ve seen

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] core@leminal.space 13 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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.

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:

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

Relevant Flintstones

My dad's friend had a boat named the "Oy Vey"
