I work in the oil field and see different classes of ships every day and would think this would be a good idea. I work on a crew vessel that holds a light to moderate load especailly crews going and coming. The idea comes to me that I think the industrial skill level is too low. Level one and you can get a farely nice size hauler of your choice. I think crew boats and Mini supply vessels and Work Boats aka supply vessels should be introduced as well as the yacht. Industrial skill level 1 gets you a crew vessel, level 2 gets you mini supply vessel and level 3 gets you a hauler as we know it. Each cargo hold should slightly increase 20%-30% between vessels. Thus giving the game bit more of an edge as far as supply vessels are concerned.
As far as your yacht theory thats not a bad idea(a lil funny) but not bad. Something a bit bigger than a shuttle.

No use for it in this game.
I don't agree. Why must it have use for this game.
I like the idea for the possibility to buy a luxury yacht. Not for a special purpose, but just for fun. Flying incredible fast to escape pirates with a very heavy shield, and a nice speedy model. Colors are white or gold or shiny silver.
With a little cargobay so you can take some small stuff.

Maybe there could be even some missions where a yacht is required:
- Picking up some VIPS in a ship suiting them...
- Yacht serving as negotiation place between NPC fractions in some missions.
- Tourist Holidays: shipping them around between 5, 10 or 15 locations.
- etc. ...

But even just for flying around, a yacht would be great! I hope, CCP will follow up this idea.

Fun Idea. Shouldn't be too complicated - simply add it as a frigate class ship. Always nice to have a new ship to look at. Of course, why not just use one of the current fast frigates and fit it with a mwd for practical purposes. And you even have high slots for weapons.
A unique ship that's not exactly necessary may not make sense from the stand-point of development time.

nice idears folks
i like the elite shuttle/ cruiser sized/ BC cruiser sized based suggestions & really like how Erim said it:
Originally by: Erim Solfara
A personal transport, elite shuttle?
HP; = shuttle
Sig; < shuttle
Agility and speed; > shuttle
Cargo; 0m^3
Fitting; 0-2-2 (2) (Hi-Me-Lo (Rigs))
Price; 500k
A Private Yacht, a small cruiser sized ship (something like an Augoror)
HP; = cruiser
Sig; = cruiser
Agility and speed; = destroyerish
Cargo; 20-40m^3 perhaps
Fitting; 0-3-3 (2) (Hi-Me-Lo (Rigs))
Price; 5 Mil
A Corporate Yacht, (large cruiser/battlecruiser sized)
HP; = bruiser/cruiser
Sig; = bruiser/cruiser
Agility and speed; = bruiser
Cargo; 100m^3 perhaps
Fitting; 0-3-3 (3) (Hi-Me-Lo (Rigs))
Price; Upwards of 15 Mil
.
.
.
All should have an inherent warp core stability (+1, to discourage long range solo pirates)
.
.
.
and the top two could allow this 'guest' facility to bring people along with you, if and when it's introduced.
also - and not sure if this was suggested already as i skipped the middle pages (thread is long guys - its up to CCP now)
i think theses ships in addition to inherant +1 warp cors stab should get a natural web resistance - level based of course eaqual to about 50% at lv5 - e.g. they are difficult to slow down and stop
id like to see the blockade runners also get some resistance to webs (10-15km back to a JG/ to edge of bubble is a long way at 12m/s)
oh and also if crew is ever implemented (something i really would like to see btw) the bigger yatchs could play a use full role in moving crew - of course a transport ship would have to also be made that would move crew more efficently - maybe yatch transport could be the most secure way to move elite crew ??

In response to the yacht discussion, I would like to see more ship classes as well. It would go a long way to make the game more realistic to have even more diversity. It seems to me, that the devs are concentrating too much on ship types that are more powerful and more expensive, rather than intermingling new ship types that are just more specific to a task. I would like to see more time spent on this than creating 10 different yachts per race, but the yacht has a place in Eve as long as someone wants to buy one.

Yacht = Cool.
Fitting Yacht = sketchy.
How about Yacht's with a 0-0-0 Platform and 1 Rig slot.
Call them Personal Transports, and make one that adds a point, one that adds agility, etc.
Ferry = Frigate Size Transport, 50m3 cargo.
Yacht = Cruiser Size Transport, 300m3 cargo.
Steven Cobert's Big Expensive Yacht = Carrier Size Transport, 1400 Gigameters^3 cargo. (Just kidding)

<- has concepts for yatcs drawn up for caldari amarr and minmatar.
Other than that i wouldnt mind seeing them as oversized shuttles. about 1 mil a pop, 50m3 and alot more hp and slightly slower turn and max speeds with no slots, that probably be the only difference for the civillian version, corperate versions could feature slots and rigs.

I like the idea of a Tech 2 shuttle. Call them... "Runabouts".
They could have double the warp velocity of a regular shuttle, a built-in 1 point stab, and 4 slots.

You're in a pod... what luxury do you need? There's already mechanical tentacle action and plenty of TV...
You could use a large class of vessel, say "cruise liner" sized, that can have it's own station walk with amenities (would be great for inviting friends) and customizable interior. Still, I want my yacht to be decked in solid platinum and encrusted with sapphires... and custom rims, cant forget them spinners.

I love that whole Yacht discussion!
Representative shuttles. Tourist vessel (missions, good idea!). CEO-to-peace-treaty-signature-transport. Unuseful, but not quite as little as that with a few slots and little cargo to smuggle that little nothing. Warp core stability is a nice feature.
They must be expensive, in different sizes and BEAUTIFUL.

Firstly, love the ideas here! But I really do wish I could read faster.. so hard to catch up with all the ideas!
Anyway, from what I've read so far I love the ideas of:
Multiple player passengers, being able to board these yachts for entertainment purposes. I really hope the ambulation can make some of these ideas a reality.

haven't read the whole thread, but i could imagine this:
Civilian Yacht added under the shuttle tab, not race specific, just 1 ship.
- faster warp speed (8au), slightly more velocity, increased sig, increased shields compared to shuttles
- same cargohold (5 - 10m¦)
- expensive, like lets say ~ 500.000 ISK building costs
A fast, luxurious Shuttel for the rich travelers

my ideal travel ship.
all i would want is say 1 built in point of stab.
and too be sure it's not used too tackle a +999% cpu too warp jam, target painters, webs.

Since beginning to play this on my friends account a few years ago, I've always wanted to see something along these lines. Very good idea.
Although, i'd prefer SPORTIER model, something like riding about in a Lamborghini as opposed to a pleasure boat. Say, extremely high speeds (i'd like to see base speed in excess of 1km/s), 3au warp (not meant to be transport, meant to be a show-off ride), just enough fitting slots and cpu/powergrid for a t2 afterburner and a couple t2 overdrives/mwds, just enough cap to keep them going for good periods of time. It must be shiny. 
In fact, as a possible method of introducing the idea of custom paint, this could work well as a starting point...
Charge BC prices (or higher for faster ones) for a custom-painted hotrod.
size? don't care. Small is fine, Thorax-ish is fine. Doesn't matter.
no cargo, no drone bay. just a fast, fast little "downtown cruise" machine, something to zip around the big BSs like a blur.

I started this thread with a posting of just a simple idea. But now, after so many weeks, even months, when looking to this my thread, I see all these responses and recognize, that this idea really moves the minds!
It is very exciting for me, to read all your ideas, objections, improvements and wishes. And all what is attached to this.
It seems to me, that the yacht has pretty good chances to come into life, due the high amount of feedback!

Yachts should be cruiser-sized vessels with two high slots, although they can only fit civilian mods. With in-ship ambulation and room for up to 12 players (12 escape pods), the yacht would be useful for, as an example, sneaking an entire fleet of 12 players to their combat ships in another station.
More important would be its ability to fit the Ship Scanner Disruptor, a passive high-slot device with 9999999999 powergrid, but a 100% reduction in PG usage on a yacht. By dramatically lowering the chance that CONCORD scans for and finds illicit goods, this module could quite possibly make the yacht useful for transporting slaves, militants, and even pilots with low security status with impunity.

Here's how it works.
Give EVE space some spacial phenomenon, something pretty to look at. NPC tourists want to see the phenomenon and pay for a tour. Tours are done on Yachts piloted by licensed pilots. They get paid for transporting passengers through certain areas, stopping for brief moments so the passengers can take pictures. Once tourists are returned safely the pilot gets paid.
Voila, a whole new trade in EVE.

Not really a new trade, just transport and return. But I like the idea of using your ship for these missions, regardless of the existence of luxury vessels. However, I believe this can be alleviated by giving each vessel a "luxury rating", i.e. of spartan to luxurious, that affects the amount of ISK and/or LP you recieve (think: repeat customers). Where the Yacht class would come in is for people who want to make more money with a higher luxury rating. Instead of battling it out with turrets, you battle it out using 3 slot modules like drone butlers, tethered shuttles, and restaurants/ballrooms/ facilities et. all. Heck, you can get a special version of these missions where you take your yacht to get rated by professional slackers I mean connoisseurs.
A great evolution from the yacht class would be a Luxury Cruise Liner, the size of a freighter.
A good dynamic for said evolution would be a sort of "influx factor" where (so long as you pilot the vessel) you will gain a steady stream of ISK as you journey from sightseeing point to sightseeing point. You'd basically be a nomad for the sights of EVE and more dangerous forays would gain you more ISK from customers (and the more customers on your ships, the more money? (Cargo space = Food/Luxury item/Tourist Storage?)The motivation for taking down a Cruise Liner would be for, say, their expensive equipment and maybe tourist robbery where the tourists in your ship generate ISK upon capture... or something...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You say you're nasty pirates, stealing, scheming, babblish whackers, from what I've seen I tell you, you're not pirates you're just slackers!

Yes, this is not even a new idea, but good to see, that sooo many different players come to the same ideas. I mentioned the cruise liner and sightseeing idea before, and to be honest, there were also many others before me who mentioned such.
I also mentioned that yachts should be of various sizes, inside this thread or inside another. True words! This thread achieved already a very high reading rate. let's see, if (maybe much more: when) CCP adds the this new branch of ship class: Small yacht classes, medium ones, and the yacht capital is a cruise liner.
More feedbacks and more ideas very welcome!
