136m (446ft) superyacht FLYING FOX

Builder: Lurssen 

Delivered: 2019

Superyacht FLYING FOX is the world's largest charter yacht to date, so it should come as no surprise that she also features one of the most impressive swimming pools: a sprawling 12m spectacular that stretches out across her main deck aft.

It enjoys an elevated position overlooking the swim platform — which is more than 22.5m wide no less. From here, charter guests can take advantage of incredible views and the convenient direct connection to the beach club below.  

Glittering mosaic tiles contrast against cream sun pads flanking the space, and provide ample seating for guests to relax while soaking up the sun. A TV screen is positioned forward for guests to indulge in all-day entertainment. 

And as the sun sets over the horizon light gently illuminates the pool: an idyllic backdrop for a waterside aperitif or an evening dip aglow. 

71m (233ft) superyacht TITANIA

Builder: Lurssen

Delivered: 2006 

Motor yacht TITANIA is another Lürssen-built superyacht of an immaculate pedigree with a majestic pool. She provides a premier cruising experience, especially for entertaining as the vessel features a 4.5m upper deck pool replete with a swim-up bar. This luxury yacht is an ideal charter pick for guests keen to have poolside celebrations — she's made for them.

Coupled with her sea-level beach club offering a sauna, bar, as well as a veritable flotilla of toys, superyacht TITANIA ensures a blissful vacation that is completely harmonious with the open waters.

84m (274ft) superyacht SAVANNAH

Builder: Feadship

Delivered: 2015

Award-winning superyacht SAVANNAH (the world's first hybrid superyacht) is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, and this includes her spectacular 9m long pool which extends along the main deck aft. Steps on both sides of the pool create a seamless transition to the swimming platform.

It's certainly the focal point from dawn to dusk. By day, when the sun hits the water, the tiles shimmer in shades of deep blue, rich turquoise and soft cerulean, mimicking the ripple of the ocean. When night falls, it's the perfect setting for champagne soirées under a blanket of stars, when the pool is gloriously illuminated.

81m (167ft) superyacht ALFA NERO

Builder: Oceanco

Delivered: 2007

Iconic motor yacht ALFA NERO has won many accolades for her novel approach to superyacht living, and she continues to turn heads on the open waters. She boasts a much-celebrated infinity pool with a glass aft complete with a convertible platform. This impressive feat of engineering means her pool has myriad functions: it can be raised slightly to offer safer swimming for children, become an open space for a dining area,  turn into a dazzling dancefloor or even act as a helicopter landing pad. 

Flanked by sunbeds capturing sunlight from every angle, a wet bar and capacious al-fresco dining areas, sleek superyacht ALFA NERO ticks all the boxes for glamorous gatherings.

99m (325ft) superyacht CHRISTINA O

Builder: Canadian Vickers

Delivered: 1943 (Refit: 2017)

Classic motor yacht CHRISTINA O single-handedly crafted the superyacht playbook as a floating pleasure palace for her previous owners, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy.  Today, her exterior styling and timeless interiors act as a nostalgic vignette to the golden era of yachting.

The vessel is home to the world-famous Onassis swimming pool, engraved with a faithful copy of a mosaic mural depicting a Minoan bull that originally appeared at the ancient palace of Knossos in Greece. The pool can be raised flush to the deck to transform into a functional space or turn into a dance floor for guests to shimmy the night away.

52m (170ft) motor yacht LADY LENA

Builder: Sanlorenzo 

Delivered: 2020

A triumph of dynamic design, luxury yacht LADY LENA aims to impress with spacious social areas, light-drenched interiors and precise attention to Art Nouveau styling. The finest embodiment of this is her large glass-bottomed pool (in typical Sanlorenzo fashion) when gently suffuses a beautiful turquoise light onto the beach club below. In tandem, there are also fold-down terraces at either side of the beam where sunpads, deck chairs, and tables can be placed to create a social seating space.

Builder: Icon Yachts

What do we love about superyacht OKTO? She's a visually striking delight from bow to stern. Her aft deck infinity pool is a sight to behold: offering eyepoppingly pretty 360-degree views. It can be both a salt or freshwater pool, but whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you will be able to swim in the utmost comfort and in total tranquility.

93m (305ft) superyacht LADY S

Builder: Feadship

Delivered: 2019

Superyacht LADY S is the epitome of modern minimalism, and this theme elegantly extends to her aft deck glass-bottom swimming pool. 

The pool's design has been optimized to ensure the entire charter party can enjoy the space to the fullest. She boasts separate shaded and sunning areas for those desiring bronzing opportunities and a social hub. And should they so wish, guests can try out the waterfall shower head floating above the centre of the pool with various pressures and features. 

The pool area also provides an excellent connection to the beach club on the main deck below. Together, they fuse into one cohesive haven onboard, thanks to a pair of staircases that lead into the area below.
