Yacht
A yacht /ˈjɒt/ is a recreational boat or ship. The term originates from the Dutch word jacht "hunt", and was originally defined as a light fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. After its selection by Charles II of England as the vessel to carry him to England from the Netherlands for his restoration in 1660, it came to be used to mean a vessel used to convey important persons.
Modern use of the term designates two different classes of watercraft, sailing and power boats. Yachts differ from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury, or recreational vessels. Later the term came to encompass motor boats for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.
Yacht lengths generally range from 10 metres (33 ft) up to dozens of meters (hundreds of feet). A luxury craft smaller than 12 metres (39 ft) is more commonly called a cabin cruiser or simply a cruiser. A superyacht generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) above 24 m (79 ft) and a megayacht generally refers to any yacht over 50 metres (164 ft). This size is small in relation to typical cruise liners and oil tankers.

History
Early history
Bechtolt chose the name Yacht in reference to Y.A.C.H.T., an alternative school in Portland, Oregon. Bechtolt told Spin, "It stands for Young Americans Challenging High Technology. It refers to an education program that was held in Portland, Oregon. I was enrolled when I was 16, back in 1996."
2002–2008
Yacht was Bechtolt's solo project from 2002 to 2008. During this period, he released three albums, Super Warren MMIV, Mega and I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real, on record labels in the Pacific Northwest area.

Beam Me Up
by: YachtHigh above the clouds somewhere The cold of space spreads thin We endeavor to look out But they are looking in
No man is an island and no planet is in turn And in six million years we'll stand together and watch it burn
The future is a poem 'Cause it doesn't yet exist We don't know if we reach out To tentacle or fist
No man is an island and no planet is in turn And in six million years we'll stand together and watch it burn Watch it burn, watch it burn! burn! burn! burn! burn! burn! burn! burn!
B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up
There are nights that I burn out I drink deep from my cup I look all around me And think, "Oh god, beam me up!"
No man is an island and no planet is in turn And in six million years we'll stand together and watch it burn
B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up B-b-b-beam me up
