This is a great name for a pirate-themed boat. It’s also perfect if you happen to have a pet parrot that you take with you on your sailing adventures.

Captain Hook

Another great pirate-themed option, this one is perfect for boats that are named after iconic literary characters. You might stay away from this if you have a merchant ship.

Sea Dog

This is a cool name for any type of vessel, but it’s especially fitting for boats that are used for fishing or other water-related activities. 

Coral Reef
