yachties
Recreational sea voyagers
Yachties are people who sail or own yachts, especially as a lifestyle rather than occasional recreation.
The term suggests enthusiasts who embrace sailing culture—the social scene, the gear, the jargon: The harbor bar fills with yachties every summer.
It can carry a hint of gentle mockery, implying privilege or exclusivity.
