The answer
YACHT
What yacht means
A large, expensive sailing or motorized boat designed for recreation, leisure cruises, or racing, typically owned by wealthy individuals or organizations.
Where the word comes from
From Dutch *jacht*, short for *jachtschip* ("hunting ship"), derived from *jacht* meaning "hunt" or "chase." The Dutch, skilled seafarers and traders, used this term for their swift pursuit vessels in the 1600s. English borrowed the word directly from Dutch maritime vocabulary, initially referring to a light, fast sailing vessel used for chasing pirates or smugglers before it came to mean a pleasure boat.
