When we talk about a yacht, it is a kind of a recreational boat at large. The term Yacht was given by the Dutch Jacht meaning "hunt". It can also be defined as a fast sailing vessel which was originally used by the Dutch navy in order to pursue pirate all around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. Soon after when it was selected by Charles II of England as the vessel of choice in order to return from Holland to Britain for his restoration, it came up as a vessel to convey important people from all around the globe.
In today’s time the term is used to designate two different sorts of classes of watercraft and powerboats. 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. In later stages the term was used to encompass motor boats for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.
All the terms relating to luxury yacht, such as, “Superyacht” and "Large Yacht" refers to very expensive, privately owned yachts which ...
... are professionally crewed. These sorts of Super and Luxury yachts can be either sailing or play the role of a motor yacht.
The term Luxury yacht appeared at the beginning of the 20th century when wealthy individuals constructed large private yachts for personal pleasure. Some of the known names in the luxury yacht market are the Cox & King yachts, M/Y (motor yacht) Christina O and M/Y Savarona. Early luxury sailing yachts include Americas Cup classic J class racers like S/Y (sailing yacht) Endeavour and Sir Thomas Lipton's S/Y Shamrock. Many early luxury sailing yacht events at Newport, Rhode Island, during the Gilded Age were hosted by The New York Yacht Club.
