Boat Names!

Choosing the right name for your vessel is a rite of passage for any boat owner. It’s the finishing touch that gives your boat a personality and makes it truly yours. At Suncoast Boat Haulers, we’ve seen thousands of names pass through our transit logs from the timelessly elegant to the hilariously creative.

4. Tips for Naming Your Boat

Before you apply the vinyl lettering to your hull, keep these practical tips from the Suncoast Boat Haulersteam in mind:

  1. Test the VHF Radio Check: Say the name three times fast. Is it easy to understand? If you ever have to call the Coast Guard, you want a name that is clear and easy to spell phonetically.
  2. Keep it Brief: Longer names are more expensive to print and can be harder to fit on a smaller transom.
  3. Check the "Vibe": If you have a sleek, fast offshore racer, a name like "Slow Turtle" might be funny, but a name like "Velocity" or "Afterburner" fits the aesthetic better.
  4. Consider the Superstition: Tradition says it’s bad luck to rename a boat without a proper "purging and renaming" ceremony. If you're renaming your vessel, make sure to follow the maritime rituals!

Already Named Your Boat? Let’s Move It!

Once you’ve settled on the perfect name, you need a transport company that will treat your vessel with the respect that name implies. Whether it’s the Sea Breezeor Usain Boat, Suncoast Boat Haulers provides expert, air-ride transport for boats of all sizes.
