The yacht, as a concept for recreational boating, dates back to the 17th century. The first recorded use of the term "yacht" was in 1660 in the Netherlands, referring to light, fast vessels used for chasing pirates. Over time, the design and purpose of yachts evolved, leading to the modern recreational yachts we see today.

Where was Robert Yacht when he invented yachts?

Nobody named Yacht invented the term, it comes from the Dutch StatenJacht- state Yacht actually something akin to a patrol craft used by the Coast Guard- for patrolling coastal waters. Jacht- Dutch spellilng is related to German Jagd- to Hunt- and in a sense the English slang Jag! From a chasing or hunting patrol vessel to a sportive one with the eye on speed- hence Racing Yacht it is a logical etymology.
