I'm currently in the process of acquiring a ship, and I was wondering if there's really any difference between them? Other than the Bizzare or Respectable bonus?

Can't speak about other ships, but I LOVE the process of acquiring the yacht. Sure, it's a luck check and you may lose quite a bit, but I get to win with a freaking TENHO hand in mahjong. And I love the FL translation of that. Heaven's Mandate! Do you realise how RARE that is in RL? You practically have to cheat in order to get that! And it's only HEAVEN if you are the dealer! (It's Earth otherwise)
As far as I remember, even Mahjong God Akagi didn't get this.

The Clipper is fairly painless to acquire if you spend some time as an Enforcer and collect your weekly rewards, so depending on how soon you want to go to zee, this could be a good option.

I can't comment on the difficulty of getting a yacht, but I can say that it isn't really that useful once you're out to zee. It stops one menace card from being a problem and gives a nice boost to one card in the zee of voices, but generally it won't help you get to your destination any quicker.
On the other hand, zailing doesn't take THAT much time and the zee menaces aren't that nasty to deal with as long you're sensible, so the +2 rep is actually pretty nice.
The best single bonus you can have for zee travel is a five-card lodging at home.

When you're actually zailing, the clipper seems to be the best to have. When you're in London, the Yacht seems to be the best to have. The Zub helps a little bit either way.
