megayacht
Floating luxury palace
A megayacht is an exceptionally large private yacht, typically over 200 feet long.
The term distinguishes vessels requiring professional crews and substantial infrastructure from ordinary luxury yachts.
Megayachts serve as floating status symbols for billionaires and occasionally appear in news coverage of extreme wealth: The oligarch's megayacht was seized in the sanctions.
