The realm of motorboats is vast and includes highly varied types. Some have rigid hulls, with or without cabins. There also are inflatable and semi-rigid craft. The term yacht is preferred for luxury models over 15 meters in length.
Size, configuration, equipment and motor type constitute the determining factors for a motorboat's use, which can range from daily recreation to blue-water cruising and professional applications.
A boat's category is determined by its configuration. Motorboats include day cruisers, open boats, walkarounds, runabouts, cabin cruisers and launches from 9.5 to 15 meters. Other types are inflatables, tenders, runabouts, bass boats and deck boats. They also can be differentiated by their navigational equipment. Additional types include professional craft, sport fishing boats, lifesaving, blue-water and river craft
