pocket yacht or pocket cruiser

Explanation:
Weekender Yachts are designed to undertake short journeys, rarely lasting more than 2 or 3 days. They usually have only a simple cabin, often consisting of a single "saloon" with bedspace for two to three people. Clever use of ergonomics allows space in the saloon for a galley (kitchen), seating, and navigation equipment. There is limited space for stores of water and food. The smallest of this type, generally called pocket yachts or pocket cruisers, and trailer sailers can be transported on special trailers. The cabin is usually set into the deck and sinks below it like a tub or barrel which is then provided with a superstructure for cover. The Dutch term "middenkuip" reflects the sunken aspect of this as a tub or a bowl located in the middle of the deck.
