Yachts are water vessels that are used for recreational purposes. Yachts are very popular for spending vacations and there are various types of yachts that one may decide to spend his/her holidays on. Basically yachts are categorized in two parts: Sailing yachts and Motor yachts. Both sailing and motor yachts have their classifications. Thus, it may be inferred that there are innumerous types of yachts available in the market from which you may select one. Sailing yachts may be categorized as:

Day sailing yachts: These are small normally and when measured come to be less than 20 ft in length. The day sailing yachts are also known as dinghies. These dinghies consist of a dagger board and a retractable keel. However, day sailing yachts do not hold a cabin. This is because they are not meant for overnight journeys.

Weekender yachts: As the name suggests, the weekender yachts are usually used for weekend holidays or maximum of a short journey of 2-3 days.  These yachts consist of twin keels or you may even find lifting keels in these. These are 30 ft in measurement and can even sit upright when there is no water. When these yachts are designed in a smaller size, they are called pocket cruisers.

Cruising yachts: Measuring 25 to 45 ft, cruise yachts are the most popular of all when it comes to commercial purposes. These yachts offer complete comfort in terms of interiors, lightings and everything else you may imagine for on board comfort and that is why they are more complex in their design. Cruising yachts are commonly used for family holidays and consequently have many cabins. Normally you may find 3 cabins which are double berthed, a saloon having a gallery, shower room and toilet.

Luxury sailing yachts: In fair deal of time, there has been some really good development in the luxury sailing yachts. Today, the meaning of luxury can be clearly seen in these vessels with almost every feature denoting class and superiority of technology is there in these yachts. Be it state of the art equipments that work based on computer or most enthralling services like a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, television with satellite connection. Everything is taken care of in a luxury sailing yacht. And with a dimension as big as 82 ft minimum, its very much possible as well!!! The biggest luxury yacht is 130 ft long and is a comprehensive package of luxury. You can even rent luxury boats for holidays. The rent is definitely exorbitant but nothing like spending some good time together.

Racing yachts: Racing yachts is a very popular variety of yachts. Especially in the areas with big water bodies, the racing yachts can be prominently seen. There is definitely not much comfort for the crew members in racing yachts but as they say, one has to sacrifice something to get something else. The amount of speed you get in racing yachts is again outstanding. The crew members differ from race to race. Some races may have a crew of 15 while others may have a crew of 30, just double. While there are some races that one has to compete single handed also. That reduces the crew members to 1 only.
