yacht

/jɑt/

nounyacht

Remember: it’s a fancy boat with a fancy spelling—only the “y” and “t” really sound: y…t (yachT).

Yes, it's yacht. The tricky part is the silent letters: in “yacht,” the “ch” is silent, so it’s pronounced like “yot.”

Definition

  1. nouna medium-sized boat used for pleasure or racing, often with sails or a motor

Examples

  • They rented a yacht for a weekend trip along the coast.
