I think it's in alphabet books as one of the few nouns in English to begin with Y, and because they can draw it very simply as a small boat with sails.

Of course modern yachts are not sailboats, but I bet if you researched it you'd find use of 'yacht' goes back a good few decades - for example: http://www.alephbet.com/pages/books/36423/object-alphabet-book
