Take silly pics on yacht to be ingratiating (11)

I believe the answer is:

sycophantic

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

'be ingratiating' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'take silly pics on yacht' is the wordplay.
'pics on yacht' anagrams to 'SYCOPHANTIC'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sycophantic that I've seen before include "Fawning" , "Obsequious" , "Servile - like a crawler" , "Crawling" , "Flattering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
