A yacht, from Dutch Jacht meaning hunt, pronounced [iat] (ya't), 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 of choice for his return to Britain from the Netherlands for his restoration, it came to be used to convey important persons. Later, the word came to designate a wider range of vessels, almost always in private use (i.e. not used for commercial carriage of cargo or passengers), propelled by sail, power, or both, and used for pleasure cruising or racing. A yacht is a recreational boat. It designates two rather different classes of watercraft, sailing and power yachts. Yachts are differentiated from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose. It was not until the ascendancy of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury items. However, since the level of luxury on larger yachts has seen an increasing trend, the use of the word yacht to mean any sailing vessel has been diminishing and is more and more limited to racing yachts or cruising yachts. Yacht lengths generally start at 32–35 feet (10–11 m) and go up to hundreds of feet. A mega yacht generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) above 100' or 34 m and a super yacht generally refers to any yacht over 200' or 70 m. This size is small in relation to typical cruise liners and oil tankers. It's very simple to rent a sailboat or to organize a sailing trip on the Dnipro river in Kiev. Yachts  cruise any day of the week southwards by the river and go ashore  either to the riverside restaurant for a dinner or on some of the picturesque islands for a picnic and spend our relaxing day there cooking ourselves. On the board we have all necessary kitchen utensils, barbecue and cooking facilities. We have many constant guests on our yachts, including representatives of embassies, local and foreign companies, businessmen and sailing friends. Experienced, pleasant and helpful crew will serve and help guests on board and on shore.
