What's the reason behind your boat name?


Last Update: 2/05 4:38 pm
There are thousands if not more very unique boat names, all with a story.  That's part of the fun of naming your boat - the story behind it all. 

This past week, Boat US announced that the name "Bail Out" made the Annual List of Top Ten Boat Names.  With the release of the annual Top Ten List of Most Popular Boat Names by Boat Owners Association of The United States (Boat U.S.), one name to the list stands out.

"Bail Out, the number five pick, clearly speaks volumes about what's on boaters' minds," said BoatU.S. President Nancy Michelman. "With today's economic uncertainty, naming a boat Bail Out could indicate that boating is a survival mechanism for the family that will keep them afloat," she added, "Bail Out is definitely a newcomer and  one of with a twist on the modern era. We like it!"

The list is assembled each year by the Boat U.S. Boat Graphics service which offers a free library of over 8,500 boat names and also allows boaters to easily select, custom design and preview boat names online - without having to pay up front.
