Coming up with a good name for your boat can be a really challenging mental exercise. It’s so tough coming up with something original and meaningful.
If faith and religion are a large part of your life, a bible-based boat name could be the perfect choice. After all, your boat name should reflect you and your personality, and there’s no better way to do that than with a biblical boat name or a Christian boat name.
Whilst many boat owners like to use a pun, or something about their career, Christian and religious boat owners all around the country are using biblical boat names.
I’ve put together a list of 30 possible ideas you can use yourself. As far as I know, none of the biblical boat names below are being used currently. You can either take one from this list or use it as inspiration to come up with something of your own.

Christian Boaters Association
You might also be interested in this religious boating organisation called the CBA. The Christian Boater’s Association is a fellowship of Christians interested in boating who seek to reflect their faith in all aspects of boating activities and lifestyles. You can visit their website by clicking this link.
It is multi-denominational in nature, nonsectarian in practice and international in scope. The Christian Bible is its authority and the Holy Spirit is its guide and teacher.
The motto of the Christian Boaters Association is found in Genesis 1:2b (NASB), “…and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.”
The last word…
The death and then resurrection of Jesus Christ are considered the most critical events in Christian theology. These events showed us the Jesus has power over life and death.
I believe that a Christian boat name will give those with faith the belief that he is watching over you and providing a safe passage whilst on the water.
If you have strong faith, display this as your boat name.
