Best boat name contest

Got a boat with personality? This year we’re adding a lighthearted twist to race day: the Best Boat Name Contest. Whether your name is clever, ridiculous, pun-filled, or proudly over-the-top, we want to hear it.

How to enter

Entering is easy:

  • Add your boat name during registration in the optional “Boat Name” field

  • One entry per boat. If you’re racing a tandem or team boat, just submit one name for the boat. 

How it’s judged

A small crew of volunteers will pick the winners based on:

  • Creativity

  • Humor

  • Originality

  • Overall “that’s so good I wish I thought of it” factor

The rules

To keep it fun for everyone:

  • Boat names must be family-friendly

  • No hateful, discriminatory, or inappropriate content

  • Organizers reserve the right to exclude entries

  • Judges’ decision is final (we promise to use our powers responsibly)

Prizes and Bragging rights

Winners will be announced on race day. There will be prizes—and, more importantly, eternal glory!
