The original dictionary definition is a boat with a sail on it. This has changed over the years, usually with a luxury feeling now..

Wow... After reading these answers, I am compelled to offer my own answer.
I have never heard the term "luxury boat". So...
Not all yachts are luxury boats. Not all luxury boats are yachts, but some do overlap. I have been aboard both motor yachts and sailing yachts that were certainly luxurious.
I have been aboard dinghys that are luxurious.
I don't think loa (length), or price, would be a defining factor for a luxury boat.
However, one answer above states any boat less than 30' valued over 1 million is luxury. That certainly limits it. I have yet to see a 30' or less boat worth half that.

Any boat, be it inexpensive or luxury, might be a yacht. In this day and age, a yacht is determined mostly by the pride in ownership it displays. I have seen old wooden boats that were only 20 feet long but were restored beautifully, some actually varnished to the bottom of their keel; vessels truely worthy of the title yacht.

Simple really, those of us here can't afford either. A yacht is a luxury boat if you can afford a crew so you do nothing but look at your trophy wife and your girlfriend on the back deck and they are both fine with it.

If watercraft has loa above 30 ft, than its yacht, otherwise its a boat. But in USA people usually use word yachts even their loa is less than 30 ft. Luxury boat is a watercraft usually less than 30 ft and with the price above 1 mln $ 8)

I have always classed "Yachts" as being a "Documented Vessel in the luxury class"

Just about anything over thirty feet long could be considered a Yatch. Does it have a galley and Head? Generator Air conditioning?
