Yachts in Traveller have always been somewhat of an enigma to me. By the
design rules, it is very difficult to have a ship that is anywhere close
to what we consider a luxury yacht today, especially if you what it to
have any amount of range (J-drive) or subordinate craft.  I figured I'd
post a video about Planet Nine, an ice rated yacht that's ~74m long and
has a helicopter, several large tenders, some small tenders, and a ton
of amenities.

Given the level of luxury that the owners would be used to living in,
and that they'd be cooped up on the yacht for at least a week, most
likely closer to 8-10 days, I don't see yachts, as they are shown in
canon designs, being that popular.
