yacht owner

Wealthy seafaring hobbyist

A yacht owner is someone who owns a yacht—a large recreational boat used for pleasure cruising or racing.

The term often carries connotations of extreme wealth, since yachts require substantial purchase prices and ongoing maintenance costs.

The yacht owners gathered at the marina for the regatta.

In casual usage, calling someone a yacht owner may imply they're out of touch with ordinary concerns.
