Boat owners can be very creative with the names of their boats.

With Catalacs and Catamarans, references to our feline pets are common. Searching for boat names contaning cat, puss or purr gives a lot of results.

Of course with two hulls, names mentioning double, twin are also common.

There are also some hilarious references to the cost of boats

• COSTA FORTUNE (We all know that)
• TWIN BILL and DOUBLE BILL (Pay two, get one.)
• LAC OF KASH (Credits for the spelling...)
• DANCSEY DE BANC (Double dutch ?)
• PENNYWISE-H (Now that makes sense)

Some clever, intricate, twisted or obscure references yield names like:

• JAVA II DEDE or CATCHMO (Your ears will choose.)
• 11 TROMBONNE (But why ?)
• GRAF SPREE (Show me your cannons!)
• SECRET SQUIRREL (We know who you are...)
• CAT AWEIGH (What happened to the boat?)
• MCCAVITY and PULPITIS (A dentist secret society?)
• ANAL ANAK BOEWAJANA (Try saying that on the VHF...)
• CAT NAMED SLOOPY (Do you have a dog-house?)
• LAST GOODBUY (How much exactly ?)
• DEJA VU and DEJA DEJA VU (Regrets on seeing your preferred name already used or just the next boat?)
• FLUSTERED FREAD (No clue...)
• BERTHA and DOUBLE BERTHA (Where did quarter Bertha go?)
• TWO WIDE (Marina fees inspired?)

Same names for differents boats ?

Some names seems to have a special appeal, to the extent they were used to christen different hulls.

Or is it the same owner who bought different boats over time ?
