New York Yacht was the name of a building on Fifth Avenue, in New York City. This building, described as a "...gray old beaux...", along with the Metropolitan and the Union League, housed an yacht club. This was where wealthy New Yorkers who owned yachts, a type of recreational sea vessel, gathered to socialize in the early 20th century.

In The Big Good-Bye, this was one of the attractions on this avenue that drew the attention of the master criminal Silent Forrester as he was being chauffeured to the hotel Plaza. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")

The pages seen in the episode were actually from the detective novel, The Listening Man, by author John A. Moroso. This novel was published in 1924. Information on New York Yacht was from page 138.
