Superyacht FLYING FOX

Builder: Lurssen

The 136m (446ft) 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. 

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

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.

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.
