As the weather warms and melting snow fills western Colorado and eastern Utah lakes and rivers, people start choosing wet over white. We have great places for canoes and kayaks, pontoons and powerboats, cabin cruisers and houseboats. Boat names may be as broad, but typically reflect the owner's personality.

BoatUS assembled a list of this year's the most popular boat names. Greg Edge, of BoatUS Boat Graphics explains some of the reasons people pick certain names for their boat.

We’ve had indicators that a boater who names their boat Second Wind may have rebounded from a misfortune such as divorce, health or other major issue, while someone who names their boat Island Girl or Island Time may enjoy a more carefree spirit and need an escape from everyday life.. boats with names like Happy Hours may be the most popular boats on Friday night at the marina or Saturday afternoon raft-up – their more outgoing owners celebrating with family and friends.”

Here's the list of this year's most popular boat names:

  1. Serenity
  2. Second Wind
  3. Island Girl
  4. Freedom
  5. Pura-Vida (full of life or this is living)
  6. Andiamo (let's go or we go.. onward, forward, etc.)
  7. Island Time
  8. Irish Wake
  9. Happy Hours
  10. Seas the Day
