A "mega" prefix to a unit indicates 10^6 or 1,000,000 times that unit.

So I guess that, according to that definition, a megayaht equals 10^6 yachts.

Megayacht means too large to dock anywhere, and too expensive for even millionaires to afford.

Don't know about kiloyachts, but I can design and build all models from milliyacht to microyacht at request.
I'm attaching an example for interested parties. The price is visible too.

P.S.
I'm currently having some problems with engine suppliers, so requests for powermilliyachts will be rejected...

Thank you, I don't know if that open flame is compatible with the high-tech material I'm using for my millihulls...
However, in view of the current environmental problems, I'm currently working on a development of a pedalmilliboat. I feel that it will be a huge commercial success.
