I rarely use "the wife". My domestic operative sounds better and this sofa is quite comfortable, once "one" gets used to it!

Boat and by name, depending upon whom I am conversing with at the time.

It’s “The boat”, as in telling the missus I’m just popping out to the boat. She’s a yacht when I’m describing her to anyone and I usually prefix her name with “yacht” when calling a marina or coastguard.

There was a boat in my yard called The Office.
Handy for phone calls. "Sorry I can't make the meeting, I'm in the office all week"

Depends who you're talking to.
A group of us all race dinghies as well as owning yachts.
So the dinghies are referred to by class, or even sail number, which the yachts are 'your yacht' or 'the Sigma' or whatever, sometimes 'your big boat' with a touch of irony because they're all fairly small and we've all done a fair bit on bigger boats.
So many people in our clubs own more than one 'boat' you often have to be specific.
