I'm not an expert, but I think that even yachts are also categorized as being either a "boat" or a "ship", depending on the length of the vessel. To be considered a yacht, I believe a boat has to be at least 30 feet in length, but don't quote me on that. :) I think that to be a yacht, as a ship, it would be around 200 feet in length.
I heard a hilarious answer that I think might be accurate too...
The difference is who washes it, if you do all the maintenance it's a boat, if you pay for it to be done by a crew it's a Yatch
That's probably more accurate than what I wrote, LOL!
