It derives from the Dutch word jacht, meaning 'hunt'. In Jacobean times, the Dutch Coastguard used to use lightweight, fast sailing vessels to apprehend pirates, smugglers and blockade-runners, so 'yacht' is an English corruption of the word.
When Charles II used such a vessel to make his triumphant return to England in 1660 at the Restoration, the term came to be used for vessels used to carry important personages.
