I have been doing some more research about this matter. It seems, that buying a yacht can get pretty costy, but renting one (called "yacht charter") is a possibility for me .
Another thing - there are alot of types of yachts. Catamarans, motor yachts - small,medium, and large yachts. Cruises in BVI (British virgin islands) , Caribbean and Chroatia are one of the most famous, but there are lots of other charters.
Catamaran is generally a boat/ship, that is made of two hulls, joined by frame (or any other structure). Catamarans can be both engine and sail powered.
Motor yachts.. Well those are regular yachts with motors :) "Regular" is a tough word - because most of them are suitable for regular life,while luxury yachts have pools, cinemas,Jacuzzi spa,helicopter landing pads and much more. I think this is too much for me, but it is nice to know, that there are things like that in the wild.
Yachts speed is measure in knots , and they are about up to 26knots, which is about 28 miles per hour, or about 40kph (kilometers per hour), but this of course depends on amount and power of engines.
There are also so called "megayachts". These babies are gigantic yachts (those surely have helicopter landing pads),with all the luxury included - some have waterfalls inside. The largest yacht in year 2009 was yacht "Dubai" , built and sold to United Arab Emirates prince.

Be surprised, there are also fishing yachts. Deep see fishing for fun seems to be widely spread hobby. Special chairs, comfortable position - and voila - you have some rare fishes on your hook. If you are interested in this - search the web a bit more on th topic, you will find alot.
Maybe I will have this kind of leisure - must be extremelly relaxing.
