CustomBoatNames is one of several boating-themed websites in the New England-based Nautical Sites Network, with the flagship being the ten-year-old FirstBoat.com. I started Custom Boat Names in 2003 to make it fun and easy for boaters to name their boats.
But the groundwork for this business really began more than 30 years earlier. Growing up on the Connecticut shoreline, summertime meant boating time. Whether fishing or just hanging around the beach or the docks, spotting the names on the backs of boats was something I always enjoyed.

The gentle ride through the harbor was always made more interesting by reading boat names as we slowly passed by.
I remember feeling a sense of pride when spotting a Connecticut hailing port while traveling, even if just across Long Island Sound to Port Jefferson or Greenport, New York.
I recall how curious I was to see all the boat names I never saw before! And it was exciting to see the various ports they called home, listed under each name. Imagining how far they traveled, whether up from the Bahamas or down from Maine.
I hope you find Custom Boat Names is helpful in naming your boat. Please drop me a line and let me know what you think!
And if you decide to buy your vinyl boat lettering here, or if you visit any of the websites in the Nautical Sites Network, thank you in advance for your business.
Sincerely,
Andrew Canepari
