The name of your boat says a lot about you as a person. It is therefore important that the name suits you. How do you choose the perfect name? We give you some handy tips.
Nature as inspirationMother Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Names of flowers, plants or animals can be a good choice. Or think of natural phenomena, such as an eclipse or the aurora borealis. Plenty of ideas!
Seek adventureWhether you are going on a
boating holiday in the Netherlands, sailing abroad or making day trips, boating means adventure! It is not for nothing that many boats have adventurous names such as Explorer or Horizon. Something for you?
Important womenTraditionally, sailors often named their boats after important women in their lives. Name your boat after your wife, daughter or mother. Or choose a combination of their names. Of course, no one is stopping you if you want to name your boat after an important man in your life either 😉
A touch of humourDo you like a joke? Then maybe a humorous name is for you. But remember, not everyone has the same sense of humour. Therefore, before making your final choice, discuss the name with friends or family.
A final tipWe advise you to keep it short and sweet. This not only sounds best, but is also useful if, for example, you have to communicate with the coastguard in an emergency. In need of inspiration? Then take a look at the range of
