…Have you ever wondered where the word “yacht” comes from? You might be surprised to find out that it doesn’t mean “luxury boats.”
So, what’s up with the word yacht? Well, it comes from the 16th century Dutch word jaghtschip. That word is actually a combination of two other Dutch words, jachte and schip. So, what do they mean? Well, jachte is the Dutch word for “hunting” and schip is “ship.” So, hunting ship? Yes, exactly. But what’s that? Apparently, it’s how the 16th Century Dutch referred to pirate ships. It makes sense if you think about it. Pirates were on the hunt when they were out to sea, which is completely different from…
…Today’s Yachts and Superyachts
You won’t find any pirates on them. These vessels are used to provide the ultimate luxury boating experience. Whether it’s a commercial or private yacht charter, the average yachting experience typically involves sunny, exotic locales and the finer things in life. That’s the whole point, right? Of course, we don’t need to tell you this. Marine electronics professionals like you know all about the yacht life.
