It's not docked. It's either flying by or stationary near it but definately NOT docked.
But if you choose not to believe me.. I have a picture of me levitating a basketball.

Will I be able to take people who have not purchased JTL on my ship or not?

Hey TH, can we put vendors in ships? I think that would be cool for the bar when I open up my buisness.
Yes, you can put furniture and anything else you could place in a player structure on the ground.
You can only launch one multiplayer ship at a time though and you can only have "stuff" in one multiplayer ship at a time. So If you are flying around in your YT-1300 and want to land and Head out on the Yacht, you will have to empty the first vehicle of all it's items. Otherwise players would load up both ships and it would lead to a lot of dead database space.
What! That really stinks! I want to have my luxury space-limo decorated, and my YT! Wouldn't it make sense to put an item limit on multi-passenger ships? Come on! It's bad enough that you can't upgrade the yacht....

Actually, I'm quite confused about the vendors. First, TH, you said that we COULD put vendors in our ships, however, a few posts later, you said we COULDN'T. My question is which is it? Also, the question of whether or not the yacht will have a hyperdrive is still left to be answered - as well as at what level a player will be able to fly the yacht. Thanks for the great feature and I look forward to breaking my yacht in at the end of the month!

First off, I thought it stunk that our Veteran reward for playing SWG for 6months or more was a non-combat starship useable only in the expansion that you have to purchase. That shows you exactly where their thinking is (we're drones and will purchase the add-on without fail). Strike one. Now we find out that we can only furnish one multi-person ship at a time. You have to clear out one of whatever you put in it in order to furnish the other. Strike two. Oh, and this ship counts as one of your 3 ships that you can have in your datapad at any point in time. Strike 3, you're out. Great Veteran reward for those of us that have stuck with this game for a long time. Feel like I got the stinkeye. This ship may get flown once before it's deleted. Thank you SOE, your gratitude for the $275 I've given you over the last year and a few months is greatly appreciated...

Why is it everytime I get excited about something that just might make this game interesting again
I get disappoint? The Lady Luck with NO weapons...Lando would have ditched her in a second.
A Naboo Speeder with NO weapons as was promised too???? How many times must you mislead your
customers. You nerfed me again may the wrath of Yoda be with you.
This thing goes directly in the trash where it belongs.

it should be invenerable until you upgrade it with weapons. after you put some guns on it, its suddely attackable. it would be a big target though, arm it at your own risk. i think this would make everyone happy, the ones who wanna cruise around invenerable and the ones who wanna man the turrents and attack.

Can we at least mod stuff like engines andboost engines on the yacht? And on a solution to how to make the yacht more useful and keep to your little rule on item storage on MP ships, how about... Making the yacht an exception to the rule? It would keep people from using all their mp vessels just for storage and make the yacht that much more useful.

I intend to consider myself a serious JTL player, and I intend to use it. It's a very simple concept you don't seem to understand: NOT EVERYONE IS INTENDING TO PLAY FOR COMBAT. My main guy is an Entertainer/Medic with no combat skills. I intend to go Privateer Pilot for the Medium Hutt Figther because I like ships that look cool, like this. If people want to fight, they can get a fighter, as it's a lot easier than solo playing the YT-1300.
Lastly: "noob ship"? Let's examine the facts. 1) This is only available to players who have subscribed for 6 months. 2) It cannot be destroyed, or even attacked. 3) Most noobs are going to be flying YT-1300s as soon they can get them, according to the many "what ship do you want" threads.
Your assumption that everyone who is a "serious player" is some sort of combat-obsessed tank-brain like yourself is laughable.

Frankly, this makes no sense. Let me see if I understand.
If I have a yacht and a YT-1300, and I deck out the yacht, the YT won't launch. That makes the yacht useless. Since it's non-combat, players WILL want furniture in it. If it's a database issue, let us launch one ship empty. As it is, no veteran will want to put anything in their yachts, ever.
