"presidential yacht"? I mean, he's a president, not a king, what does he need a yacht for?

Same reasons Hoover did, maybe? Or Truman, or Eisenhauer, or Kennedy, or Johnson, or Nixon? Or Carter (until that old Navy man sold it, having had all the boating he wanted while in the service).

Or even FDR?

Oh, wait. He was King, so it was okay for him to have one.
