Fidgeting Writer. So much fidgeting writer you'll be fidgeting by the end of it and want to choke the little b_____d.

*nervous cough*
After seeing the trouble that other people went, I paid the Fate to get the yacht . . . the grinding seems incredibly extensive.

Getting a ship is one of the most expansive grinds in the game, rewarding you for clever thinking and a good knowledge of London’s possibilities. I recommend thinking hard about where you can get things, as only Comprehensive Bribes have no good source.

Is it wrong of me to say I ditched my Clipper for the Yacht, not because it is a Yacht but because I can play Mahjong?

Also, maybe this wasn't a selling point for anyone else, but:
[spoiler]While sailing, you have a nice source of Secluded Addresses and stockings from throwing old-timey sea-going ragers. In addition to the above, there's one troubles card you can simply bypass by pulling a "let them eat cake"-style feast. Finally, one of the Sea of Voices cards allows your Yacht to get rather "intimate" with another ship. The Yacht is the embodiment of the hedonistic, upper-crust luxury life.[/spoiler]

Sometimes, luck likes to give out yachts for cheap to random people  .
Oh, but dont worry, I'll have to replace it with a zubmarine when I go NORTH.

I've gotten a yacht twice.
I got an unearthly amount of Prisoner's Honey from Unfinished Business in Veilgarden (and the last option under Life of the Mind in Court when I wanted Making Waves as well) and up-converted it. Then bought the Bribes in the Bazaar Side-Streets. It worked out to about 3,300 Prisoner's Honey and 66 actions per Bribe.
Although in practice I pretty much used the slower way to up-convert Romantic Notions to Visions of the Surface, because I got several Bribes on rare successes, which in this context is really awesome and really makes up for the extra actions.
Never touched the Fidgeting Writer because I couldn't handle the luck checks.
I got Favours by up-converting Stolen Kisses, some of which I gained through the rare success getting honey in Veilgarden, and the rest through Affair of the Box (plus some through grinding Tales of Terror in the Flit, side-converting to Compromising Documents, then up-converting from there, which gets you quite a wodge of Making Waves).
Got Cellars of Wine through the Box grind too (up-converting Absinthe) and occasionally via the Velocipede Squad loop in Ladybones when I wanted to grind Dangerous instead of Shadowy, repeatedly reading the Riot Act (up-converting Broken Giant).
Deep Amber I got through the AFAIK best grind for that sort of thing, raising fires working for Jasper and Frank in Mahogany Hall.

This really depends on how many resources you have and how interested you are in owning it. If you already have at least a couple Favors and Cellars (preferably more) and a lot of amber, then you can go for it. Having Comprehensive Bribes would be great, but they are rare, so you'll likely need to use Fidgeting Writer to get them. Then prepare for grinding. If you don't have these, then I'd advice to choose steamer and then go do other stuff. You will get more of the necessary materials along the way, so you'll have to grind less.

Hey, topicstarter here. My a bit over week-old yacht is my first ship.It wasn't that hard but i got lucky and won it in 2nd try. Still, i prepared loot enough for 5 tries. Spent it quickly on club membership and amber for echos to buy a nice Tub hat

Because I'm grinding Searing Enigmas via Fidgeting Writer, an Author, and have persistently attempted to gamble at the Palace in search of Wry Functionary increases (haven't had any luck with that), I had the supplies lying around to try this.
For a laugh, I ditched my steamer and had a go at gambling my entire stock of wine and bribes. Skill check low-risk, so I used an Insight and a Smile.
I'm quite, quite mad, obviously, but so's the RNG.
