Recreational_boat

A pleasure craft (or pleasure boat) is a boat used for personal recreational or sometimes sporting purpose. Typically such watercraft are motorized and are used for holidays, for example on a river or canal. Pleasure craft are normally kept at a marina. They are not necessarily designed for speed. They may include accommodation for use while moored to the bank.

In Great Britain, many narrowboats were converted into pleasure craft from their previous use for cargo transport on canals, and today the same hull style is commonly used for new pleasure craft using the canal system.
