In modern use the term designates
two rather different classes of watercraft, sailing and power boats. Yachts are different from
working ships mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of
the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as
luxury, or recreational vessels. Later the term came to encompass motor boats
for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.

A yacht is a recreational boat or ship. The term originated from the Dutch Jacht meaning "hunt". It was originally defined as a light
fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other
transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. After
its selection by Charles II of
England as the vessel to Britain
from Holland for his restoration, it came to be used to mean a vessel used to
convey important persons.
