Short Boat Captions for Instagram
Good vibes on the high and low tides
Boat hair, don’t care
Whatever floats your boat
I like big boats and I cannot lie
Where there’s a wave, there’s a way
Worry less, paddle more
Ocean air, salty hair
Giving in to the pier pressure
Long weekends and living the boat life
Escaping all that ordinary that’s back on shore
Floating into the weekend
Messy buns and boat days
Take time to coast
This weekend was knot too bad
Just a fish out of water
Some people are boat people. I am one of those people.
Things are going quite swell
Summer is never oh-fish-ially over
Not salty about this situation
Find your flow, and row, row, row
The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever
Life is better on the boat
Hooked on that summer feeling
It’s aboat time we all made it out on the water
Where there’s a wave, there’s a way
The boat is calling. I must go.
Weekend forecast: 100% chance of boating
You had me at boat
On cruise mode
Gone boating
Some would say that I’m an aqua-holic
Home is where the anchor drops
Good vibes on the high and low tides
Ahoy, matey
Take time to coast
Be an anchor in a world of waves
Sunsets and boats
It’s a-boat time we got to the lake
Eat. Sleep. Boat. Repeat.
You bring the boat and I’ll bring the bubbles
Boat waves, sun rays, ain’t nothing like lake days
Floatin’ along
Boat, lake, sunset, perfect
Life is best with a lake and a boat
Keep calm and boat on
Home is where the boat is docked
Live. Love. Boat. Lake.
Lake life = Go boating, Nap often, Enjoy every sunset
I don’t need therapy, I just need my boat and a lake
I’m outdoorsy, I like to drink on boats
Time wasted on a boat is time well wasted
Isn’t life just better on a boat?
If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it
This week I don’t give a ship
Oh buoy, I’m not ready for summer to be over yet
You can’t be crabby when you’re on a boat
Good vibes happen on the tides
Water you looking at?
Let’s just cruise and see where the waves go
Ocean air, salty hair
Happy as a clam
The water may be salt, but this is the sweetest life
Good vibes happen on the tides

Funny Short Boat Captions
Felt cute. Might go seas the day.
I like big buoys and I cannot lie
My milkshake brings all the buoys to the yard
I got 99 problems, but the boat aint one
Having a reel good time with my besties
Let’s get nauti
You can’t be crabby when you’re on a boat
I live for taking the sea-nic route
It’s aboat time we all made it out on the water
Oh buoy, I’m not ready for summer to be over yet
Partying like a lob-star
You’re gonna need a bigger boat
Shipfaced
I live for taking the sea-nic route
You keep me from getting lost at sea
Mermaid to be in the sea
You, me and the sea
Heading straight to the horizon
Forever in need of some vitamin sea
It’s going to be a long time with no sea
Seas the day
Summertime spritz on the sea
It’s going to be a long time with no sea
Never enough vitamin sea puns to last me through the summer
Some grow roots, but I put down anchors far into the sea
Allow yourself to be liberated by the water.
The voice of the sea speaks to the soul.
Today, I decided to make waves.
A quiet soul is like tranquil water.
Happiness is finally leaving the shore
Water was able to teach lessons that no one else could.
So, ‘water’ you waiting for?!?
So much water, such little time
Water is the name of my therapist.
I’m sorry, but this boat is knot for sail
Let’s sail away into forever
Let the sea set you free
Let your dreams set sail
I cannot not sail
Come sail away with me
Literally sailing into the sunset
Let’s sail away into forever
Shopping is fun and all, but this is my favorite kind of sail
A rough day at sea is better than any day in the office
Decided to let my dreams set sail
Something beautiful is on the horizon
May your anchor be tight, your cork be loose, your rum be spice, and your compass be true
Calm seas never made skilled sailors
I left my heart in so many ports
If your ship doesn’t come in, sail out to meet it
Let’s sea the world together
Having yachts of fun?
What happens on the yacht stays on the yacht
I love you a yacht
Oh ship, it’s a sea day
Having yachts of fun with you
Yeah buoy, we’re on a yacht!
Always yachts of fun with this crew
Definitely not salty about this view
Yachts of fun
If time is a river then I want to be on this boat for all of it
Finding out what’s around the river bend
River floating
Floating under the bridges
Paddling my boat down the river
Loving life with a boat and a never ending river
Keeping it reel on the river
River boating is my therapy
Take me to the river
Keep calm and paddle on
Live, laugh, raft
We steer the boat, we don’t alter the river
