pleasure boat

Recreational water craft

A pleasure boat is a watercraft used for recreation rather than commercial purposes—sailing, cruising, fishing for sport, or simply enjoying time on the water.

The term encompasses everything from small sailboats and motorboats to large yachts: They spent the weekend on a pleasure boat in the harbor.
