leisure-craft

Recreational water vehicle

A leisure-craft is a boat or small vessel used for recreation rather than commercial purposes—sailboats, motorboats, yachts, and personal watercraft.

The term appears mainly in regulatory and maritime contexts: The marina accommodates leisure-craft up to forty feet.

Also spelled as two words or without the hyphen.
