Motor yacht v. reg yacht

[Dugout DickStone]

So this afternoon, if the weather clears, I have been invited out on a certain fairly successful cat lawyer's motor yacht. 

Thing is, I have only been on a regular yacht, off the coast of fancy places like Nantucket and Newport.  Is there an etiquette difference between being "under sail" and motor powered?  Are my Sperry Topsiders going to do the trick today or do I need to hot foot it over to Halls and get some new togs?

Also, the owner has hired some help to serve drinks while we are underway, including a Nubb grad with a phd.  Do I call him "doctor" when I order my martinis?

TIA

Limestone:

In my experience off the Virginia coast, motor-powered yachting is generally a bit more relaxed than being under sail.  The Topsiders should be fine.  And there's no need to duck as there's no boom swinging about during tacking.

Never address a phd as doctor, unless he also has an md.

Makes sense.  Do I bring my normal bottle of Veuve Clicquot or something diffs?

How about "doc" or "saw-bones"?

I cruised on Lake Ozark Saturday about a million dollar boat.   It was nice.
