I wondered about this too when I was looking for larger craft. As Wikipedia says (and they're always right ), "There is no standard definition, so the term applies to such vessels that have a cabin with amenities that accommodate overnight use. To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and may have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities." So, based on that, your friend could likely consider his a yacht.I have a friend that refers to his 34 foot as a yacht.
I consider a yacht something I cant afford and is over 60 feet.
