Which is why I did not say "brablo" Private owership of ANY size boat, even a dinghy, is a "great" thing that would impress others.

The objection I have about this is that a yacht is not necessarily
private in terms of possession, but it's private in terms of usage. A
cruise ship holds many passengers which are brought together by a
cruise ship agency, and many of those passengers most likely don't
know each other. A yacht may be owned by a yacht charter business, and
many are; but it's mostly chartered by families or group of friends,
or maybe even by coworkers; so it's more likely privately *used*.
And yes, that's my uncertainty about sivni; it has "private" on its
definition, but it seemed to be more about confidentiality althought I
was not sure.
