MODERATORS
Alcoholic?
They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.
The "-holic" suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from "alcoholic", but it's commonly used now. So the boat's name just means "water addict", there's nothing punny about it.
It's a play on alcoholic
Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze
IMO that's a stretch, they aren't even close to homophones.
