Boat Names
Famous Boat Names: Stories, Pics
What did Tiger Woods name his boat?
I mean, his
yacht! Well, CBS mentioned on their Tiger Woods interview in March of 2006 that his yacht's name is "Privacy". Personally, it would have made more sense if he spelled it more nautically, i.e.,
PRIVA-SEA, but unfortunately Tiger did not call me and ask my advice (although, maybe he browsed this site to get some tips for new boaters!) The 155-foot yacht cost Woods $20 Million, but since he paid full price and asked for secrecy in the transaction, and the manufacturer used his purchase to promote their brand, Woods is suing the yacht builder for more than twice what he paid for the boat (according to
the smoking gun)! Wouldn't it be nice to spend a bunch of money on a boat and be able to keep the boat
and get over a 200% return on your investment?!
What was the boat name in Jaws (the movie and book)?
Quint (played by actor Robert Shaw) was the captain of a boat named ORCA. The ship he served on in WWII was the USS Indianapolis. I believe the boat that Richard Dreyfus originally showed up on was the Aurora.
What was the name of the boat on Gilligan's Island?
I think you already knew this, didn't you? It was the
SS Minnow, of course.
What was the name of Popeye's boat?
It was, of course,
The Olive.
