Name your jon boat: jon puns like Long Jon Silver and Jon Voyage, tin and flat-bottom jokes such as Tin Lizzie and Flat Bottom Girl, backwater names like Creek Cadillac and Slough Skipper, plus duck blind, catfish, mud motor and hand-me-down names.

About Jon boat names

A jon boat is about as simple as a boat gets: a flat bottom, a squared-off bow, a couple of bench seats and, usually, a hull of riveted or welded aluminum. It floats in a few inches of water, which is why it turns up on farm ponds, creeks, sloughs and marshes, and in front of duck blinds. You will see the name written as jon boat and as johnboat. The short spelling is the one that makes the puns work: Long Jon Silver, Dear Jon, Jon Voyage and Sloop Jon B.

The list is built from the boat itself and the places it goes. There are tin and flat-bottom jokes (Tin Lizzie, The Tin Can, Flat Bottom Girl), small-boat pride (Poor Man's Yacht, The Little Boat That Could) and backwater names such as Creek Cadillac and Slough Skipper. Duck season, catfish and crappie, mud motors and trolling motors each get their own run of names, from Duck Blind Date to Crappie Hour and Mud Motor Mama.

Plenty of jon boats have outlived an owner or two, so there are hand-me-down and patched-hull names too: Grandpa's Boat, Came With the Trailer and Epoxy and Prayers. If jokes are not your style, plain working names such as Workhorse or Old Dependable suit a boat that earns its keep.

How to choose Jon boat names

Say a jon pun out loud before you letter it. The joke only lands when people hear the original phrase at once, the way they do with Jon Voyage, Jon Fishin' and Break of Jon.
Match the name to the boat's job. A duck boat suits Greenhead Express or Decoy Wagon, a catfish rig can be Cat Daddy or Whisker Wagon, and a pond boat that never leaves the farm is a Pond Admiral.
Let the boat's history do the naming. A hull that came down through the family or out of a barn already has its story: Passed Down, Shed Find, Fourth Owner, Thrice Patched.
On a camouflaged hull, letter the name in flat paint a shade or two off the hull color. It reads fine at the ramp and does not shine across the marsh.
Keep it short enough for the space you have. Two or three words fit on a transom or along one flat side: Tin Cup, Mud Hen, Still Floats.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny jon boat names?

Start with the word itself: Long Jon Silver, Dear Jon, Jon Voyage, Jon Fishin' and Jondola. The metal hull gives you Tin Lizzie and Cat on a Hot Tin Boat, and the size of the boat gives you Poor Man's Yacht and Yacht in Training. All of them are on the list.

Is it jon boat or john boat?

Both are in use. Jon boat is the spelling you will see most in boat catalogs, and johnboat, as one word, is common too. The puns here use the short spelling, so Sloop Jon B and Davy Jon's Locker are spelled the way the boat is.

What is a good name for a duck hunting jon boat?

Names from the marsh and the early morning fit best: Duck Blind Date, Flooded Timber Taxi, Legal Light, Decoy Wagon and Whistling Wings. A painted boat can take its name from the paint job, such as Olive Drab or Rattle Can Camo. The duck season names on this list are about the boat, the blind and the weather.

Where does the name go on a jon boat?

The flat sides near the stern and the transom are the usual places, since registration numbers often take the bow. Vinyl letters or a stencil and a can of paint both work on aluminum. A short name such as Tin Star or Mud Pie fits between the ribs without crowding.
