A yacht is a sailing boat. A boat is a vessel of a streamlined shape that moves through water.
The size only changes a sail boat going from dinghy if small and yacht if a bit bigger.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a yacht is a large usually motor-driven craft used for pleasure cruising and a boat is a small vessel for travel on water. This topic is very subjective because according to some the size of a vessel matters and according to others it does not. Below are several descriptions for your interpretation:
The size issue begins with those who feel that any vessel above 30’ is a yacht, while others believe that any vessel over 40’ is a yacht and still others believe that any vessel over 65’ is a yacht. Anyone who owns a vessel in the 30’ to 65’ range should realize that if they want to call their vessel a yacht, there are others making the same claim including manufacturers. The consensus seems to be that any vessel between 65’ and 150’ is a yacht. Vessels larger than 150’ would be considered a ship, while others may refer to them as a mega or super yacht.
A yacht is any private vessel used for pleasure but designed for crossing large bodies of water. A boat is any form of vessel designed to operate on a small body of water. In conclusion to this great debate, the major differences between a yacht and a boat exist largely in the eye of the beholder.

Not all boats are yachts. A trawler, for example is not a yacht. And all boats over 21 feet in length are ships, except for submarines which are always boats.

You can put a boat on a yacht, but not the other way 'round.

A yacht is a boat. However, it is more of a luxury boat. It's kind of the Mercedes Benz of the sea.

A boat is what you fish in, a yacht, is what people with too much money, vacation in.
