How can you distinguish boat, ship and a yacht?

| Boat You can fit a boat inside a ship, but not a ship inside a boat. Boats are usually small specialized vessels. | Yacht Vessel used mainly for pleasure and entertainment | Ship Relatively large size, and for commercial use |
Yet, the word “yacht” derives from the Dutch word “jacht”, which means chase or hunt. In fact jachtships were pirate-ships. Then, who knows maybe Somalian pirates indeed chase ships with pleasure:)
