Chats about Fourth of July cruises (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yachts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cruises' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'chats about fourth of july' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fourth of july' becomes 'y' (4th letter of 'july').
'chats' mixed up with 'y' can make 'YACHTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yachts that I've seen before include "Pleasure crafts" , "Vessels for cruises?" , "Craft for 6 dn" , "Sand or sea vessels" , "Sailing boats" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
