Charter Yachts with a Swimming Pool

Plunging into the deck swimming pool for a refreshing dip is a must during any yacht charter.

Whether a cooling swim after a sundrenched day beckons or the deep blue is a little too intense, your swimming pool will always delight. Intersperse swims with leisurely bronzing on sunpads hugging the pool, and at dusk, request for underwater lights to be turned on and float aglow under a canopy of glimmering stars. It's just you and the open sky.

The 3 best yachts with pools

• August 29, 2023

A swimming pool aboard a luxury yacht is one of the most in-demand amenities, often acting as the social hub on sun-drenched yacht experiences in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

Many of the world’s most luxurious superyachts for charter and sale boast lavish pools with a raft of features, from counter-current jets to glass bottoms, waterfalls, and underwater lights. Some of the most sophisticated pools on yachts even boast depth-adjustable floors, which can be transformed into a dance floor at the flick of a switch.

Read on to discover the best yachts with swimming pools and discover a true taste of the ultimate superyacht lifestyle!

What are the best yachts with pools?

Some of the best yachts with pools include M/Ys MADSUMMER, KISMET, and LADY JORGIA (formerly AHPO).

M/Y MADSUMMER 

Motor yacht MADSUMMER is an exquisite charter yacht with a striking pool on her main deck, offering a central destination for convivial get-togethers with friends and family members. The yacht’s pool is surrounded by generously sized sun pads and high glass bulwarks that offer protection from the elements without interrupting sea views. At 12 meters (3.3ft), the pool is big enough for swimming laps or simply soaking in the sun.

The award-winning 95-meter (311ft) MADSUMMER, is a pedigree superyacht built by Lurssen in 2019. Her swimming pool is just one of many delightful features that make MADSUMMER one of the most sought-after superyachts for charter. She boasts a world-class gym and spa, extensive diving facilities, 10 spacious guest rooms, and an elegant contemporary modern interior by Laura Sessa, offering refined spaces for relaxation, dining, and entertaining.

The 95-meter (312.4ft) Lurssen-built KISMET is a refined yacht with pool that offers limitless levels of luxury. Her striking oval mosaic swimming pool with Jacuzzi is her highlight, located on her foredeck, which commands spectacular sea views. The pool depth is staggered, with a shallow rim around the outer edge, offering a great place to immerse yourself in the water while enjoying the sunshine, cocktail in hand. Capping off the pool area is oversized seating, making the pool area a superb social destination.

Beyond the pool, the award-winning KISMET – considered one of the world’s finest superyachts; features include a superb gym and spa, a voluminous master deck with Jacuzzi, and a one-of-a-kind retractable outdoor fireplace. This luxury yacht is listed for sale exclusively with Moran Yacht & Ship. 

M/Y JORGIA (Formerly AHPO)

Since her launch in 2021, the record-breaking M/Y JORGIA has been the talk of the superyacht industry. This Lurssen custom yacht is one of the world’s largest superyachts at 115 meters (377.2ft), the world’s most expensive charter yacht – priced at 2.6 million Euros per week – and was recently sold by yacht brokerage Moran Yacht & Ship in what is believed to be the largest yacht brokerage deal in history.

As you would expect, her swimming pool, located on the aft deck, is nothing short of impressive. The glass-fronted, eight-meter pool boasts integrated LED lights and privacy walls, except for the aft wall, which is transparent to enable swimmers to enjoy views of the sea. Immediately adjacent to the yacht’s swimming pool is the hot tub. A heat recovery system redirects heat from the ship’s engines and generators keeping the pool at the ideal temperature. So even on a cruise in Antarctica, you can still enjoy this outstanding feature.

If the yacht’s pool doesn’t take your fancy, M/Y JORGIA boasts a wealth of features to keep you entertained, including a spectacular beach club, a full-service spa and beauty salon, a fully equipped gym, a cinema room, a fully commercial helipad, and a garage loaded with the latest tenders and water toys.

5 best small sailboats for sailing around the world

By Author Fiona McGlynn

Posted on Last updated: April 19, 2023

A small sailboat can take you big places

Small sailboats are the ticket to going cruising NOW — not when you retire, save up enough money, or find the “perfect” bluewater cruising boat. In fact, it’s the first principle in Lin and Larry Pardey’s cruising philosophy: “Go small, go simple, go now.”

Small yachts can be affordable, simple, and seaworthy . However, you won’t see many of them in today’s cruising grounds. In three years and 13,000 nautical miles of bluewater cruising, I could count the number of under 30-foot sailboats I’ve seen on one hand (all of them were skippered by people in their 20s and 30s).

Today’s anchorages are full of 40, 50, and 60-foot-plus ocean sailboats, but that’s not to say you can’t sail the world in a small sailboat. Just look at Alessandro di Benedetto who in 2010 broke the record for the smallest boat to sail around the world non-stop in his 21-foot Mini 6.5 .

So long as you don’t mind forgoing a few comforts, you can sail around the world on a small budget .

What makes a good blue water sailboat

While you might not think a small sailboat is up to the task of going long distances, some of the best bluewater sailboats are under 40 feet.

However, if you’re thinking about buying a boat for offshore cruising, there are a few things to know about what makes a small boat offshore capable .

Smaller equals slower

Don’t expect to be sailing at high speeds in a pocket cruiser. Smaller displacement monohulls are always going to be slower than larger displacement monohulls (see the video below to learn why smaller boats are slower). Therefore a smaller cruiser is going to take longer on a given passage, making them more vulnerable to changes in weather.

A few feet can make a big difference over a week-long passage. On the last leg of our Pacific Ocean crossing, our 35-foot sailboat narrowly avoid a storm that our buddy boat, a 28-foot sailboat, couldn’t. Our friend was only a knot slower but it meant he had to heave to for a miserable three days.

Small but sturdy

If a pocket cruiser encounters bad weather, they will be less able to outrun or avoid it. For this reason, many of the blue water sailboats in this list are heavily built and designed to take a beating.

Yacht design has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Today, new boats are designed to be light and fast. The small sailboats in our list are 30-plus year-old designs and were built in a time when weather forecasts were less accurate and harder to come by.

Back in the day, boat were constructed with thicker fiberglass hulls than you see in modern builds. Rigs, keels, rudders, hulls and decks – everything about these small cruising sailboats was designed to stand up to strong winds and big waves. Some of the boats in this post have skeg-hung rudders and most of them are full keel boats.

The pros and cons of pocket cruiser sailboats

Pocket cruiser sailboats present certain advantages and disadvantages.

More affordable

Their smaller size makes them affordable bluewater sailboats. You can often find great deals on pocket cruisers and sometimes you can even get them for free.

You’ll also save money on retrofits and repairs because small cruising sailboats need smaller boat parts (which cost a lot less) . For example, you can get away with smaller sails, ground tackle, winches, and lighter lines than on a bigger boat.

Moorage, haul-outs, and marine services are often billed by foot of boat length . A small sailboat makes traveling the world , far more affordable!

When something major breaks (like an engine) it will be less costly to repair or replace than it would be on a bigger boat.

Less time consuming

Smaller boats tend to have simpler systems which means you’ll spend less time fixing and paying to maintain those systems. For example, most small yachts don’t have showers, watermakers , hot water, and electric anchor windlasses.

On the flip side, you’ll spend more time collecting water (the low-tech way) . On a small sailboat, this means bucket baths, catching fresh water in your sails, and hand-bombing your anchor. Though less convenient, this simplicity can save you years of preparation and saving to go sailing.

Oh, and did I mention that you’ll become a complete water meiser? Conserving water aboard becomes pretty important when you have to blue-jug every drop of it from town back to your boat.

Easier to sail

Lastly, smaller boats can be physically easier to sail , just think of the difference between raising a sail on a 25-foot boat versus a 50-foot boat! You can more easily single-hand or short-hand a small sailboat. For that reason, some of the best solo blue water sailboats are quite petite.

As mentioned above small boats are slow boats and will arrive in port, sometimes days (and even weeks) behind their faster counterparts on long offshore crossings.

Consider this scenario: two boats crossed the Atlantic on a 4,000 nautical mile route. The small boat averaged four miles an hour, while the big boat averaged seven miles an hour. If both started at the same time, the small boat will have completed the crossing two weeks after the larger sailboat!

Less spacious

Living on a boat can be challenging — living on a small sailboat, even more so! Small cruising boats don’t provide much in the way of living space and creature comforts.

Not only will you have to downsize when you move onto a boat  you’ll also have to get pretty creative when it comes to boat storage.

It also makes it more difficult to accommodate crew for long periods which means there are fewer people to share work and night shifts.

If you plan on sailing with your dog , it might put a small boat right out of the question (depending on the size of your four-legged crew member).

Less comfortable

It’s not just the living situation that is less comfortable, the sailing can be pretty uncomfortable too! Pocket cruisers tend to be a far less comfortable ride than larger boats as they are more easily tossed about in big ocean swell.

Here are our 5 favorite small blue water sailboats for sailing around the world

When we sailed across the Pacific these were some of the best small sailboats that we saw. Their owners loved them and we hope you will too!

The boats in this list are under 30 feet. If you’re looking for something slightly larger, you might want to check out our post on the best bluewater sailboats under 40 feet .

Saturday 1st of September 2018

Very useful list, but incomplete - as it would necessarily be, considering the number of seaworthy smaller boats that are around.

In particular, you missed/omitted the Westerly "Centaur" and its follow-on model, the "Griffon". 26 feet LOA, bilge-keelers, weighing something over 6000 pounds, usually fitted with a diesel inboard.

OK, these are British designs, and not that common in the US, but still they do exist, they're built like tanks, and it's rumored that at least one Centaur has circumnavigated.

This is a helpful list, thank you. I don't think most people would consider a 28' boat a pocket cruiser, though!

9 Spectacular Superyacht Swimming Pools, From Glass-Bottomed to Infinity Designs

These swimming pools are for more than just lounging. some are standalone water sculptures, others are glass ceilings to decks below. all are integral to each yacht's exterior design., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

• Share This Article

It all began in 1910 with RMS Olympic , the first ship to have an onboard heated swimming pool. Its famous sistership, RMS Titanic , followed a year later with a deep saltwater heated pool on the middle deck. Reserved for the exclusive use of first-class passengers, the pool formed part of the ocean liner’s Turkish bath complex. Male and female passengers were not allowed to bathe at the same time.

Fast forward 100 years and the appeal of an onboard swimming pool has not waned. In fact, it’s become a prerequisite for many yacht owners. In 2000, the 303-foot Tatoosh exploded the concept of swimming pools aboard yachts, thanks to a large contra-flow pool with a lifting floor. Then came Octopus three years later with its massive, glass-bottomed raised pool, followed by Alfa Nero ’ s aft deck infinity raised pool with a glass waterfall.

Swimming-pool water features are now a standalone trend. When designer Igor Lobanov designed Jubilee (now named Kaos ) he used a waterfall as an architectural divider to separate the pool from the alfresco dining area. At night, the pool lights up, adding another dimension to the yacht’s evening ambience.

Today, with the advent of beach clubs and multiple spa features that create the ultimate Zen lifestyle, superyacht swimming pools are rapidly multiplying, says yacht designer Theodoros Fotiadis. “Owners want more than one pool on their yacht, as the convenience of swimming in a heated pool is more appealing than the reality of swimming lengths in the ocean,” he tells Robb Report . “Owners also want to be able to both socialize with guests and relax in private, all while never having to leave their yacht, so having more than one pool or hot tub makes a lot of sense.”

While the size of a pool is usually dictated by the length and volume of the yacht, it seems swimming pools are where owners are willing to sacrifice other features. From main deck pools that steal coveted real estate from interior lounges to sun-deck pools that require structural engineering, the growing desire to give more outdoor deck space to aquatic amenities shows how serious the pool game has become.

Here are nine of the most spectacular pools on the water right now.

‘Plvs Vltra’

When the owner of 243-foot Plvs Vltra submitted his design brief, he made sure a large swimming pool on the main deck aft was top of his list. The pool is big enough to entertain the entire family, has counter-current jets for lap swimming and is surrounded by oversized sunpads and a cocktail bar. It’s visible from the owner’s deck and leads down to the amidships spa that incorporates a second mosaiced spa pool with sea views, a massage area, a steam room, a bar, and a sauna. When the time comes for calmer water action, a Jacuzzi on the sun deck answers the call.

‘M’Brace’ (ex-Elandess)

The 246-foot M’Brace is defined by a “sea terrace” sun deck where the owners can spend the entire day. Its centerpiece is a pool measuring 8 by 26 feet, filled with 22 tons of fresh water warmed via waste-heat recovery. A glass wall at one end is where the adults view the grandchildren splashing about from a large seating area, dining table, or cocktail bar. The glass bottom doubles as a skylight that casts dappled sunlight on the circular central staircase. As simple as it sounds to install a pool on the top deck, Abeking & Rasmussen had to use hidden beams to distribute the weight of the pool to the outer edges of the yacht’s superstructure and down to the hull.

‘Kensho’

The first sight that greets guests when they step aboard 246-foot Kensho is a vast lower deck infinity pool, complete with a cutaway glass side. When looking out to sea, the edge of the pool appears to bleed into the ocean, producing stunning sea-level views. When viewed from the dock, the pool seems to continue deep into the yacht’s interior. The shape of the pool is styled after a manta ray, while the walls and stairs on the pool deck look as though they’ve been carved by the sea. The pool forms one part of the beach club and complements the yacht’s green-blue metallic exterior paint job, chosen to blend in with the aquatic surroundings.

‘Eva.4Eva’

Eva.4eva is one of only a handful of yachts to have a pool located forward, rather than aft, where guests can soak in peace. Typically reserved for storing tenders or adorned with sun lounges, the foredeck aboard the 141-foot Mangusta Oceano 43 converts into a quiet, private retreat with a glass-edged infinity pool and sunpads hidden from view. It leaves the boat’s exterior aft deck free for guests to make the most of the ocean views with glass balustrades, turquoise soft furnishings and a drop-down swim platform at the stern. When it’s time to step the pool party vibe up a notch, a built-in light system brings it to life at night.

‘Christina O’

The 325-foot classic motor yacht Christina O , famously once owned by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, is often cited for its innovative design features, including a dining room that seats 42 people and a cocktail bar that entertained the likes of Marilyn Monroe and President John F. Kennedy. One of its most forward-thinking amenities is the swimming pool on the aft main deck that features a decorative mosaiced floor. Filled with saltwater and depicting a scene from Greek mythology, the floor can be raised and lowered at the push of a button, converting into an elaborate dancefloor for revelry that lingers long into the night.

‘Seasense’

Even the name of the 220-foot Benetti Seasense alludes to its owners love of all things water. Designed by Cor D. Rover, a 33-foot pool sits at the heart of the yacht. “It started with a pool that you can walk around and spend the day around rather than putting people in a lower-​deck beach club,” Rover tells Robb Report . The breadth of the pool area is emphasized by teak decking that runs athwartships and is complemented by teak louvers that provide shade along the sides of the aft deck. Large sliding doors divide the pool, dining and lounge areas into two or, if preferred, three spaces. When emptied, the pool converts into a basketball court using 22 panels stored in lower deck lockers.

‘Luna’

It’s only right that one of the world’s largest expedition yachts should have one of the biggest pools ever found on a superyacht. The 66-foot-long pool on the 377-foot Luna brings wow factor to a supersized open aft deck. Surrounded by large sunpads and partly shaded by the deck above, the pool dominates the stern area of the yacht creating a dedicated lido at sea. Dining areas and additional shaded seating areas are complemented by steps that lead down to the water’s edge, giving guests the choice between pool laps and sea swims.

‘Tatiana’

Spanning a total area of 1,184 square feet and considered one of the best superyacht beach clubs in the world, the 263-ft. Tatiana ’s multi-level recreational offering features two pools—one above the other—and is directly connected to the main salon via a dramatic underlit staircase. That means you can swim in the enclosed 30-foot-long freshwater pool or in the glass-bottomed second pool on the main deck. When the yacht is at anchor, fold-out terraces on both sides give access to the ultimate saltwater pool—the ocean.

Project X ’s glass-encased, hexagon-shaped swimming pool is one of the more dramatic on the water, with a practical side. Clad in silver Xs—the symbol that features prominently across the 288-footer by Golden Yachts—its glass sides were conceived to allow the adults to keep an eye on the children when playing, as well as bringing additional light into the beach club below. The bottom of the pool sits suspended in the center of the open-plan space, yet is accessed from the main deck aft. The pool also features a waterfall that adds drama to what is already a cool-looking water feature.

Yachts with Helipad

Charter yachts are known for offer the best in first-class travel. Wake up each morning in your own private stateroom, and take in the sunrise over the Mediterranean, Caribbean or Adriatic, while a member of the crew brings you a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Doesn’t get better than that, right? Not to mention, superyachts are laden with amenities, from water toys, to immaculate interiors, and sun-soaked decks, perfect for relaxing. Yet, there’s one feature that’s available on only a select group of charter yachts: Helicopter pads .

A yacht with a helicopter deck opens up a world of travel possibilities. Arrive on your yacht at sea, take a stunning helicopter tour of a nearby wildlife refuge or glacier, or skip the tender on your way to the airport – those are all possibilities aboard a yacht with a helipad.

Super Yachts with Helicopter Pads

Technically, superyachts are fully crewed boats that measure 24 meters or longer (that’s just about 75 feet). That definition doesn’t reflect the times. Superyachts have gotten larger and more opulent than ever, with designers pushing the bounds of what’s possible.

Naturally, yachts with helicopter decks tend to be larger – north of 200 feet. These larger-than-life yachts are some of the most exclusive charter superyachts with helipad access:

The beautiful Solandge is one of the most unique yachts on the market today. Her interior, for example, the work of Rodriguez Interiors and Dolker & Voges, features countless design surprises. The main salon is a stunner. It’s decked out with amethyst walls, gold leaf ceilings, a Bechstein piano and Schonbeck chandeliers with hanging amethyst rose quartz crystals. Yet, the centerpiece is an art glass sculpture, “The Tree of Life,” that stretches 50 feet high and is bedazzled by 1,000+ points of light.

Outside, Solandge shows her sheer size. She boasts a sexy beach club, a gold and white bar, a spa pool and a dance floor, among other opulent luxuries. Of course, you’ll find the helipad outdoors, too, as well as a sprawling sun deck and lounge. The yacht is maintained by a crew of 29 and can accommodate 12 guests in eight large cabins.

Originally built by Icon in 1974, Legend underwent its most recent refit in 2016. The ship isn’t a traditional motor yacht. Rather, she’s a fully certified Class 1 ice-breaking ship, and more recently has been turned into a luxury explorer yacht.

Legend is definitely one-of-a-kind. Inside and out, she offers the best in luxury yachting. The ship accommodates up to 26 guests – in total luxury – in her 13 staterooms. There’s a master suite, two VIP suites, as well as 10 different staterooms.

The yacht is built for exploration. In addition to her commercial helipad, Legend features her very own submarine. Plus, adding to the undeniable allure is a gym, Balinese spa and sauna, a Jacuzzi, a movie theater, and a swimming pool. Legend is maintenance by a crew of 19, as well as a 10-member expedition crew, including doctors, ice pilots, expedition leaders and naturalists.

NAIA was built by Freire Shipyard in 2011, and she offers an abundance of space for relaxing and entertaining. Spread across four decks, the yacht has six guest suites and a master suite, the latter of which takes up the entire “penthouse” level and includes a private deck. A central spiral staircase connects all of the decks, and the master suite is accessible through an elevator that goes as low as the sundeck.

As for the common areas, NAIA has plenty of areas for guests to choose from, including a cinema room. The main saloon is both inviting and intimate, with ultra-comfortable plush couches and a chic contemporary décor. A dining table can seat up to eight people, and is surrounded by a smaller sitting area, a small bar and plenty of artwork. Outside, charter guests onboard will find casual seating and bar areas, al fresco dining, another bar, a Jacuzzi, and plenty of places to sunbathe.

Built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2016, Cloudbreak is a truly world-class expedition yacht. The exterior design of Cloudbreak is the work of Espen Oeino, and the Scandinavian-inspired interior design was completed by Paris-based Christian Liaigre. After undergoing four years of development, this custom-built mega yacht is finally on the market, and it offers a world of adventure.

In addition to her helipad, the yacht has a fully stocked garage of water toys, including scuba equipment, jet skis, and numerous kayaks, paddle boards and kite surfing rigs. Inside, though, the yacht is a show stopper. With accommodations for up to 12 guests, as well as amenities like a spa with sauna, swimming pool and beach club, Cloudbreak is designed for relaxing excursions.

Enigma XK was first built by Richards Shipbuilders in 1987, and last refit in 2013. Previously named Norna, this yacht is the work of Vitruvius and Philippe Briand, who completed its interior and exterior design, respectively.

The sleek interior is marked by cream and white tones, light woods, lit flooring, and a glamorous aesthetic. There is a full-scale wellness and fitness center onsite, and this boat was named “Best Yacht Conversion” winner of The World Superyachts Award in 2014. Perfect for adventuring through ice-filled waters, Enigma XK offers plenty of toys for exploring, including a 9-meter Limo tender, an R.I.B. tender, a rescue tender, two Zodiac tenders, multiple wave runners, SCUBA diving and snorkeling equipment, a dive compressor, water skis, a wake board, tow toys, inflatable pontoons and more.

SuRi was built by Halter Marine/Yacht Escort Ships International in 1978, and later refit in 2016. An ideal yacht for travel with family and friends, SuRi is the brainchild of its owner. Its décor is both comfortable and contemporary, with expansive cabins and elegant living areas. Plus, the yacht boasts a fitness center, a massage room, and even a “Windows to the Sea” section of the yacht, where travelers can get a glimpse of all of the colorful fish swimming around them.

Outside, guests can dine al fresco on the sun deck, relax in the Jacuzzi, sunbathe, or enjoy a sunset cocktail in front of a backdrop of amazing views. If you’re a more adventurous charter guest, the water toys onboard SuRi won’t disappoint. In addition to the helipad, there are bikes, snorkel equipment, surfboards, kayaks, fishing gear, diving equipment and even a 35-foot Stan-Craft mahogany speedster. On SuRi, the choices are endless.

Built in 2018 by Golden Yachts, O’Ptasia is a stunning superyacht that features a wide array of world-class amenities. The yacht features a high-end contemporary aesthetic inside, including sleek and spacious salons and expertly appointed guest staterooms. She accommodates up to 12 in 11 rooms, including a master suite, VIP stateroom, as well as a variety of double and twin cabins.

Her exterior is a masterpiece of nautical engineering. Featuring expansive decks, including a sizable beach club and breezy sun deck, the yacht is a floating five-star hotel. You’ll find all of the amenities onboard: A spa, an outdoor bar, sun deck Jacuzzi and much more.

The ice-classed explorer yacht Planet Nine was built in 2018 by Italian shipyard Admiral Yachts. Built for explorations in the far corners of the world, no expense was spared on her construction. Inside, the yacht is the epitome of opulence.

Designed by London-based Milnaric, Henry and Zervudachi (MHZ), the superyacht has a full range of luxury amenities: Modern staterooms, including a master suite that takes an entire deck, a panoramic observation deck, and an immaculate dining area.

Yet, the ship is certainly designed for exploration. Outside, the yacht’s most recognizable feature is the helipad, which features a garage just below. Additionally, you’ll find everything on board for a high-seas adventure, including two 32-foot tenders, 120-inch cinema, steam room, sauna and a spacious beach club.

Charter Yachts with Helicopters

Looking for something a bit more compact? It’s true that a 200+ foot yacht isn’t for everyone. Fortunately, if you’d like to charter a helicopter-equipped yacht, there are plenty of options in the 130- to 200-foot range. Here are a few of our favorites:

With sleek exterior styling and a timeless interior, Skyfall offers the best in Caribbean yachting. The yacht was built in 2010, but underwent a complete refit in 2015. Today, she’s gorgeous inside and out.

Her interior features an “urban contemporary” aesthetic, with notes of Buddhist Zen, and you’ll notice when you step on board. Featuring an array of unique materials, including petrified tree trunks as well as a Tiger’s Eye bar in the sky lounge, the yacht is designed for entertaining (with space for up to 12 guests).

Outside, Skyfall offers plenty of deck space. Her sun deck features a splash pool, and there’s space for alfresco dining on the aft deck, a beautiful skylounge, and a panoramic balcony.

Tommy is a luxury motor yacht built by Benetti in 1995. It underwent its last refit in 2014 and boasts an interior and exterior design by Terence Disdale and Stefano Natucci, respectively. This yacht is large enough to host a cocktail party for up to 100 guests.

The interior of Tommy is both elegant and classic, with cream and burnt orange tones, and light wood cabinets and paneling throughout. The main salon is large and comfortable and comes with plush sofas and impeccable décor. There is a formal dining area, as well as a club-style sky lounge with a games table and a flat screen TV.

Outside, guests will find spots for alfresco dining, a sun deck, multiple bar areas, a central spa pool, multiple sunbeds, and of course, the helipad. From the swim platform, guests have access to countless water toys, including: a 5.8-meter Novurania Tender, a 5.8-meter Novurania Tender, two two-person Kawasaki Wave runners, water skis, a wakeboard, tows and plenty of snorkeling gear. Tommy can accommodate up to 12 guests.

True North offers the ultimate oasis of luxury for your Australia or Southeast Asian expedition. The yacht, which was built in 2005, is fully equipped for explorations. She features six tenders, as well as her own Eurocopter EC 130 helicopter.

On-board, the experience is incredible. True North features a spacious layout, with accommodations for up to 36 guests. The yacht includes 18 rooms, including 10 double cabins and 8 twins, and she’s designed for fun exploring the Great Barrier Reef. You’ll find a variety of water toys and equipment including: Dive compression, dive equipment, a jet ski, and plenty of fishing gear.

Built in 2006, Tango is a luxury superyacht that charters primarily in Australia. With accommodations for up to 8 guests, Tango offers complete comfort on the open seas. The yacht features a deck Jacuzzi, as well as beautiful sun deck.

Looking to enjoy the waters? Tango offers a full array of water toys including a jet ski, paddleboard, kayaks, fishing equipment and snorkel gear. She’s also equipped with two tenders, and of course, the helipad.

Smallest Yacht with Helicopter Pad

An on-board helipad traditionally means a spacious yacht. Yet, there are a number of boats that accommodation copters, but have a smaller footprint. If you’re headed out with a small group, but want the luxury of a helipad, these yachts are perfect:

They say big things come in small packages, and that’s certainly true of Flying Fish. This yacht – built in 1991 and refit in 2010 – offers the perfect platform for small-ground adventures. She sleeps up to 8 in four rooms, including a stunning master suite. And her interior features a chic, upscale décor and plenty of deck space for entertaining.

Plus, the yacht’s wide array of toys including scuba equipment, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment and sea kayaks. She’s equipped with a fully certified helipad – perfect for a low-key Barrier Reef excursion.

Charter A Yacht With A Jacuzzi Spa

Chartering a yacht with a Jacuzzi spa can offer the ultimate experience on the water, even to the most discerning charterers. Feeling the water jets massage your muscles while overlooking the bow of the yacht and the ocean beyond is the ideal full-body and mind therapy. Getting lost in the warmth of the water and leaving stress behind you can be one of the most cathartic experiences on a yacht.

Sailing Yachts

Sailing yachts commonly feature Jacuzzi’s, either on deck or below, where the tender garage doubles as the hot tub. Deck space can be limiting for such a luxury aboard a sailing yacht, but the yacht designers of today are creative, and have found ways to make it work. Lounging in the warm bubbly water of a sailing yacht with a Jacuzzi, with the wind whispering on your face is an invigorating experience.

Mega Yachts & Superyachts

With more deck space than sailing yachts, larger mega yachts often feature Jacuzzi’s that are raised on deck to offer 360-views of the ocean. Some mega yacht designers are crafty with their work, and can combine a Jacuzzi and bar on deck. This makes it more of a social gathering spot than just a place to unwind; this kind of set-up will likely be the main area where guests relax and socialize.

Because of their sheer size, gigayachts can have up to 6 decks, offering a lot more space to work with. Depending on personal choice, a Jacuzzi here may accommodate up to 12 guests, allowing the entire charter party to socialize together. These oversized spa tubs may also double as a pool. A yacht with a pool may seem extravagant , but then again, we are talking about yachts well over 300’ (91m). Some gigayachts feature a lap pool, where users can adjust resistance on an artificial current, resulting in a rigorous workout.

Beyond The Deck

Yachts offer endless luxuries and unimaginable experiences. In addition to a yacht with a Jacuzzi, some of the most popular yachts today might feature a Triton submarine , with which you can dive as far as a mile underwater and watch the fish glow from the comfort of your seat. What is your idea of the ultimate yacht amenity?

Solving the problem of adding pools in yachts

Unlike on the land, where creatives can create a suite of fountains to dance and sway on command, incorporating a even simple water features such as a small fountain or a waterfall aboard a yacht brings with it many challenges to consider.

Because a yacht is designed to move through water, the opportunity to easily defy the laws of physics is lost. 'The moment you start rocking the boat,' says designer Evan K. Marshall, 'everything is thrown off.'

Problems with pools

Historically, the biggest consideration was how to manage water on the boat.

The movement of the boat itself creates a wave momentum in on-board pools that can become difficult to contain, even in the calmest of cruising conditions.

For this reason, the easiest solution was to use the pool only when the yacht was docked or at anchor, with all guests ordered out so that the pool could be emptied or drained to half capacity before the yacht got underway. While this remains a common practice, most pools are now also designed with deep surrounding sumps that capture wayward water and return it via a circulator pump and/or a holding tank that stores the warm water between uses.

Today the issue is not only about the 'wow' factor, but about incorporating the amenities an owner might enjoy on land into his yacht.

'When a boat grows [in length], the owner wants a bigger pool,' says Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. 'The pool is never big enough, especially for swimmers. We would like to make a 10 metre pool, but most of the time you can only do one of seven to eight metres.'

The typical solution is to create an infinity pool with a swim-against current feature.

Location is critical a large pool on an upper deck creates a weight issue that can interfere with the boat's stability and centre of gravity. For this reason most pools are placed on a lower deck near the stern. However, here you must consider the shape of the hull. While an owner might request a depth of around five feet, a fast semi-displacement hull, for example, would mandate that the depth stay in the three to four foot range.

The bigger the pool, the more water it will require, which adds weight to the vessel, and thus becomes a factor for the engines.

'We are careful with cutting-edge designs,' says Laupman, whose firm is currently working on a 73m boat for which a large pool is an important feature.

He agrees that there are more considerations than meet the eye. 'Most designers have to determine whether the pool should be located on the aft deck so that it is indoor/outdoor, or covered on the lower deck so guests can jump from the platform into the water. Then it becomes how to combine this design with saunas, gyms, seating areas, side hatches and whatever else might be required for the beach club.'

On the 73m project_ Omega, _the beach club floor was designed to be flush with the hatch that extends at the stern. The pool water is on the same level as the floor, which required some tricks with height due to the boat's shallow draft.

'You can only do this with a big boat, such as a Lürssen or CRN. Most of the time it is not possible; you need to climb three steps to reach the swim platform, which compromises the indoor/outdoor relationship. It's not really state-of-the-art work,' Laupman says, 'but you must do your homework.'

Interior water features

Designer Pascale Reymond of Reymond Langton Design likes to make a water feature an interior focal point, combining water movement with carved stone art pieces or contemporary ornamental glass, coupled with dynamic lighting, reflective surfaces and textures.

'Not only do waterjets or waterfalls add entertainment,' she says, 'moving water can mask any unnatural sounds to maintain a sense of tranquillity.'

In each of their foyer waterfall projects aboard large yachts, Reymond Langton have carefully engineered their designs to ensure the water flows smoothly in the intended direction.

This is an important consideration, confirms Jonathan Quinn Barnett, who has designed several interior waterfalls unfortunately for use aboard yachts too private to be published.

'Water doesn't always behave the way you want it to,' he says. 'It can take on a life of its own.'

Barnett advises consulting with an engineering group early on if you envision a specific water feature to ensure that the desired effect can be achieved.

'[An interior waterfall] is hardly going to be like standing next to a natural waterfall,' he points out. 'If you don't get that effect, is it worth doing?'

In 1994, Barnett created a 7m waterfall aboard a 73m vessel that fell the length of three decks.

'I used Plexiglas shields and angled the water back to minimize the splashing. By adding subtle texture to the wall,' he details, 'you can put some life back into the water as it falls vertically because it's falling down an uneven surface. Adding light creates a greater visual effect.

'With an interior waterfall, it is critical that you pitch the surface ever so slightly at the vertical,' he advises.

When the water is angled back at two degrees, it will attach itself to the surface and stay there. The water falls to a catch basin and returns to the top via a circulator pump.

On a 91m yacht, Barnett designed a bathtub that filled from a waterfall eight feet above.

'I incorporated LED lights recessed into the marble that illuminated the water as it cascaded down the surface,' he says. 'The marble also needed to be heated the same system as under-floor heating so that the water did not get chilled as it travelled from the ceiling.'

Oceano pushing boundaries

No builder has been more forward thinking in its 60m+ design concepts than Oceanco, who has assembled a consultative set of designers around the globe to provide intriguing designs, most of which exhibit water features that elicit a 'wow'.

The 87.5m Waterfall concept does just that. Envisioned by Andy Moore of Moore Yacht Design, the design has two versions: one with a large pool and the second with a smaller pool to allow for more lounging areas. Central to the design are waterfalls intended to mimic the 'unadulterated power and splendour of natural waterfalls'. On the version with the larger pool, the waterfall appears to originate from within the main superstructure and fall into the forward end of the pool.

'Implementing the design so that the function supports the aesthetics is a complex matter,' says Moore. To keep the water off the deck, the main body is aimed into a large, deep drop-off. From there the volume is reduced as it cascades under a bridge and through the aft superstructure. Each water level is designed so that the cascades will not fall onto the deck, steps or transom when the yacht moves.

'One cubic metre of water weighs a ton, so there are certainly some important stability considerations to take into account at the planning stage of any significant water feature aboard a yacht,' notes Moore. 'For this design, I have worked closely with the naval architecture and design department at Oceanco, which currently have engineering studies underway.'

While the likes of Jon Bannenberg and Tim Heywood have successfully executed designs with water that flowed down between masts or pools that filled with waterfalls, some scepticism remains.

'When you're at sea,' says Barnett, 'playing with too much water on deck runs the risk of being gimmicky. You have to be extremely careful to ensure you achieve the desired effect especially for the cost, maintenance and logistics required to run water down, through or under decks.'

But exploration and development into the area of on-board water features remains strong.

'We are exploring a design where water originates at the top deck and falls to the stern and into the water,' says Stefan van Cleef of technology specialist van Berge Henegouwen. In this design, the water maintains its course even when there is movement.

'The higher it gets, the more different the route of the water droplets,' says van Cleef, 'but so far the biggest problem has been to curb the sound when such a feature is placed in the interior. We are exploring other areas and ways around it.'

Yacht design often takes its inspiration from other industries, and with water features it only makes sense that we explore what has been achieved in the cruise ship sector. The 360m Oasis of the Seas features a water-based theatrical space at the boat's stern with a deep pool and nozzles capable of shooting streams of water up to 20 metres into the air.

Designer Martin Francis acted as a consultant on the Oasis project and is well versed in both worlds of private yachts and cruise ships.

'Cruise ships don't move much relative to yachts, so incorporating a fountain can be pretty straightforward. It depends on how big the fountain is and, provided the wind direction, water can be pumped up.'

Water logistics

California-based Fluidity Design Consultants were brought in to advise on this particular aspect of Oasis's water feature.

'With a ship's motion, there is no way to guarantee a level,' says Fluidity's vice president Tom Yankelitis, 'so this eliminated certain types of effects we could achieve. When you're pumping water through a nozzle, you're only relying on pressure so it doesn't matter what angle the boat is at because the water will perform at a relatively consistent manner in that device.'

Fluidity Design presented a range of nozzles that were more resistant to ship motion and wind that could turn on or off, shoot water up in the air and in an arc across the pool. Nozzles incorporated into a bridge above the pool allowed for a rain effect.

'Even with these particular nozzles, we still had to do things in the space to mitigate wind and the wave action in the pool,' says Yankelitis.

During the design process, engineers had to reconfigure a two- to three-metre wide lift down the centre of the pool to be strengthened for lateral motion to attenuate the wave action and lessen the lateral force.

Studies also determined that the space's location at the aft end of the ship would have wind blowing from the rear back in, so sails were devised to protect the water effects. In the end, the architects ended up conceding that the first four rows of spectators might be splashed upon.

Will we soon see choreographed fountains swaying on the stern?

'Anything is possible with money and a bulldozer,' says Barnett. Beware, however, as even aboard Oasis of the Seas one of the challenges was scaling down the power consumption required by the spray nozzles. 'A modest fountain with a dozen vertical nozzles spraying six feet high would require about four times the power of a 20 by 15 foot unheated swimming pool,' says Yankelitis.

If you can fit a pool big enough, Martin Francis has designed and pioneered a system of wave attenuation implemented aboard the 80m _Golden Odyssey _to combat that age-old issue.

'The system is designed to take the momentum out of the wave,' Francis explains. Based on the interring anti-heeling system of interconnecting water tanks used to stabilize ships, water flows from one tank to another in a controlled way designed to dampen roll. The wave is captured at the pool's edge in a holding tank and released back into the pool as the ship rolls. This takes the top off the wave and is 'very effective,' says Francis.

Incorporating a water feature isn't a complex problem, states Barnett. 'Once you work through the logistics of it, you can get some fantastic effects. There may be some compromises to be made, however.'

Eduard Gray of Gray Yacht Design is ready to push that envelope.

'As a designer I work with engineers who try to interpret my design into real-world solutions,' he says. 'This way, I am allowed a degree of freedom for innovative thinking before being brought back to earth with the constraints of regulations and physical limitations.'

His latest design, the 100m Sovereign, features an infinity pool with a glass-topped helicopter landing pad. Regulations aside, how do guests disembark from the aircraft with out having to swim? But that is what engineers are for.
