yacht
Billionaire's pleasure craft
A yacht is a boat used for pleasure rather than commerce or fishing.
The term typically implies something larger and more luxurious than a simple sailboat or motorboat: They spent the summer on a yacht in the Mediterranean.
Yacht can function as a verb meaning to sail or cruise in one, though this use is uncommon.
The word carries connotations of wealth and leisure.
