I think my real question is, when is it a ship and not a yacht?

I think it is an issue of "use" and size.  If you took something like a modern cruise ship and repurposed it as a yacht, that is made it a private vessel, no commercial carriage of passengers, etc., then I think while it would be a "ship", it would also be a "yacht".
