Boat Names

Word Search Puzzle 48

Here's a fun thing to do: Next time you're at a marina, take a stroll down the docks and read the crazy names people give their watercraft. You'll find many of the names are personal, some are apropos, but a few are actually pretty funny and clever.

We thought it would be fun to make word search puzzles out of the best of these names. So we made up a list and got to work. Below you'll find one of those puzzles.

This word search puzzle is themed. It hides the names of 20 boats. Our personal favorite is LIFE'S A BEACH. But note that only 18 of these 20 names are actually listed. So you're on your own to find the 2 unlisted names. A full solution is provided if you get stuck.

By the way, we designed this puzzle to be easily read. Both the puzzle grid and word list are in large 17-point font size. And the puzzle grid, which is 22×20 letters, spans the entire width of the page. This way you won't have to squint.

The puzzle is printer-friendly — like all our free, downloadable puzzles. As long as your computer can open PDF files and your printer is loaded with standard 8.5" × 11" paper, you are all set to start solving.
