- marcandre 3y agoThere's also "embarcation", "barque", and old types of boats like "caravelle", "carafe", "flute", "trirème", all feminine. Not all boat names in french are masculine. Some famous ones that are feminine: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Dauphine_(vaisseau) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Dauphine_(vaisseau) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Hermine_(Nef) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Hermine_(Nef) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cordeli%C3%A8re https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cordeli%C3%A8re
