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.
We know that Later the term came to encompass large motor boats for primarily private pleasure purposes as well. Yacht lengths normally range from 10 meters (33 ft) up to dozens of meters (hundreds of feet). A luxury craft smaller than 12 meters (39 ft) is more commonly called a cabin cruiser or simply a cruiser. So Obviously the bigger and more expensive a boat is, the better her chances of being considered a yacht.
Tom,one of the charter from Med waves Ltd. Who is driving O’mega Yacht said me that..
