12 funny boat names spotted on Pittsburgh’s three rivers
Pun-tastic.
Every summer, boaters flock to Pittsburgh’s three rivers, and there are always a few boat names worth a chuckle.
Naming a water vessel, it seems, is a big deal. It’s an act of tradition and, according to Esurance, it’s a legal requirement. While some boaters go a more traditional route, there are a few jokesters who take their boat name to the next level.
So this year, we set out to the North Shore to find some of the funniest, punniest, lol-worthiest boat names. Here are a dozen that made us laugh.

Pun-tastic.
More puns.
Sponsor this boat, Absolut Vodka.
We can only assume that this boat’s stereo plays only Naughty by Nature.
Not to be confused with “His” Hot Rod House.
