The coolest superyacht pools in the world

Superyacht swimming pools are a luxury in more ways than one, proving a technological challenge that, when pulled off, elevate a superyacht to even higher standards of splendour. BOAT takes a closer look at the yachts that have risen to the occasion, with designs that feature cinema screens, chandeliers and basketball courts...

The 49.9-metre Grey retains the same classic Paszkowski profile as sisterships Kinda and Olokun , but with several all-important differences – including the addition of the swimming pool. Commissioned in 2021, this Tankoa Yachts build has been customised by her owner to feature a larger-than-usual, glass-sided swimming pool on the foredeck, complete with a high-definition, high-luminosity cinema screen. Flanked by sofa seating, the screen also includes integrated speakers and a surround-sound system courtesy of British-French brand Focal and Naim. 

The 80-metre Tatiana is the sister of Bilgin's bright-red Leona and both yachts have the same striking, bullet-style exterior. At her epicentre is a 110-square-metre, two-level beach club, connected to the main saloon by a dramatic, sweeping staircase. While there’s a pool on both decks, the largest is found on the lower deck. Clocking in at an impressive 8.5 metres long and three metres wide, the pool is surrounded by delicate glass columns, Carrara marble and a backlit, blue agate floor. When the yacht is anchored, the aft door and two side terraces unfold, creating a seamless connection to the ocean. The water from both pools is also recyclable, able to be stored in a heating holding tank.

Lady Jorgia

Lady Jorgia (formerly known as Ahpo ) is a 115-metre, Caribbean-inspired family superyacht. While a lot of her defining features are plainly visible, some sights are reserved only for guests, such as the mosaic-lined, eight-metre long, glass-fronted pool. This pool features integrated LED lighting and privacy walls – not including the aft wall, which was left transparent for ocean views. Below deck and even more exclusive is Lady Jorgia 's complementary spa plunge pool, prettified with a teak-and-teal wave mosaic design, bamboo panes and a leaf-shaped skylight. Both are warmed by the engines and generators’ normal operation, in an efficient heat-recovery system.

The 67-metre Seasense 's exceptionally large pool is actually what got the yacht sold – Cor D. Rover's pool-centric drawing stood out to future owner (and previous owner of three Rivas ) Charles Cohen. At ten metres long, 3.6 metres wide and able to support a staggering 27,000 litres of water, Cohen wanted sunlight to reach every millimetre of his magnum opus . That's why Seasense 's aft deck is so elongated, with the swimming pool actually being part of the hull rather than inserted afterwards (a more typical construction). To give you a better idea of its size, the crew can transform the emptied pool into a basketball court using 22 panels stored in lower deck lockers. A basketball hoop affixes to the deck overhang at the forward end of the pool.

The radical pool designed for 32.6-metre Lady Fleur doubles as storage for an 11-metre RIB tender, with the hydraulic submersible platform transforming into a five-metre-by-two-metre saltwater pool in seconds. Four bespoke rotor arms move the pool in a gentle swaying motion to avoid spilling water when underway, which builder X-Treme Yachts explained is part of a "totally custom-made system" that is "unique in the world". Designed for the owner's grandchildren, the pool contains nearly 19 tonnes of seawater when full and has an adjustable depth, from 0.3 to 1.5 metres.

Inspired by her owner's favourite shade "Monaco Red", the 64-metre Atomic definitely stands out from sisterships Sealion and Roma . This yacht's beating (red) heart is her brilliantly iridescent spa pool, found on the sundeck aft. With a tiered structure and glass bottom, sunlight refracts on the water's surface and sends colourful, coral waves to the dining area directly below. Adjacent to the pool is a split-level lounge space with a gas firepit and a U-shaped bar, surrounded by high-backed custom seating.

A World Superyacht Award winner in the Displacement Motor Yachts category, one of Somnium 's stand-outs is her chic, built-in, 9,000 litre pool. Overlooking the yacht's transom, ample ocean views encourage relaxation, while a counter-current jet provides a light work-out for the more active members on board. The pool floor can be raised flush with the deck and modular furniture placed on top to provide supplementary lounge space. During construction, Feadship had to find space below the pool and its machinery for a beach club and gym, as per the owner's request. The pool tank and its mosaic walls are thus visible from the beach club through a large picture window.

Christina O

The 99.1-metre Christina O 's recent role in Netflix drama The Crown isn't her first brush with the celebrity lifestyle. Delivered in 1943, she was rebuilt by the famous Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate and one of the world's richest men at the time. Under his ownership, Christina O entertained cultural icons Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill and JFK – and has an equally iconic pool to match her history. Found on the aft main deck, this saltwater fantail number is emblazoned with a Greek mythological minotaur mosaic. It is also capable of rising to form a dance floor at the push of a button. 

Built for the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the 126.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Octopus is indulgently decked-out with every conceivable amenity. Alongside her two helicopters and submarine, the heated, seven-metre freshwater swimming pool is considered Octopus ' greatest asset. The pool has a glass bottom that rises to create an on-water dance floor. In the immediate area, you'll find a bar, pizza oven and former music studio, whose isolation booth makes the perfect place for a DJ.

This Benetti build boasts an expansive wellness area, the jewel of which is a 30-square-metre, counter-flow swimming pool, kitted out with underwater speakers and an adjustable bottom. Luminosity's pool is clad in mirror-polished stainless steel, reflecting its surroundings and blurring the boundary between pool and seascape. The space above is punctuated with a custom chandelier inspired by a diamond. "When you look at the water and the sun is shining, it looks like millions of diamonds," said designer Zaniz. An accompanying four-degree plunge pool is decorated with on-theme visual cues, such as mirror-backed acrylic "ice-cubes" and an acrylic ice cube accessory, seen above. 

M'brace

The swimming pool on 74.5-metre M'brace (ex. Elandess ) has a futuristic look befitting her technological design. Eight metres by 2.5 metres and able to hold 22 tonnes of fresh water, hidden beams below the pool distribute its substantial weight to the outer edges of the superstructure and down to the hull. Thanks to two 280-millimetre diameter pipes, the pool can also be emptied in only three minutes. The sundeck swimming pool skylight allows natural light to filter to a circular staircase below deck, glinting off mother-of-flecks in a plaster surrounded by DKT Artworks.

Designed with economy and efficiency in mind, the 75-metre Kenshō has an aft deck that does it all: social seating, dining, a party space and (of course) a pool area, located on the lower deck for "mesmerising views at the same level as the ocean”. A complementary spa pool features a cut-away glass side and a large sunbed, with a shape styled after a manta ray. Inspired by the natural forces of Arizona's Antelope Canyon, the aft walls and the stairs on the pool deck look as if they were carved by the sea.

Built by Oceanco , this 90-metre, shark-inspired superyacht features two spectacular swimming pools. Pictured above is DAR's 1.6-metre-deep bridge deck pool, surrounded by bright-white sun pads and fed by a cascade of waterfalls that begin on the upper deck. It has been raised to make it safer for small children. Hidden on the owner's deck, however, is a completely private spa pool, flanked by one-way windows that reveal the world to the owners, but not the owners to the world.

Some of the best luxury yachts with pools

Published 26 July 2023

There’s nothing like relaxing by the pool. Enjoy spending time with the ones you love on deck during a luxury yacht charter.

Those who have never chartered a yacht before would be forgiven for questioning the need for a pool on a yacht, after all, the endless ocean is just a step away. But the ability to take a cooling freshwater dip night or day, whether at anchor or underway, has become so alluring that many yachts choose to have at least one pool on board, if not more, in addition to a hot tub or jacuzzi. In fact, when yachts exceed 100m in length, few would be seen without one. 

Why charter a yacht with a pool .

The ability to cool off at a moment’s notice without leaving the on board social dynamic places swimming pools high up on most charter guests’ wish list. Then there’s the spontaneity aspect that a superyacht pool brings, especially when on a long ocean passage and the request to drop anchor at a moment’s notice is not well received by anyone. For many, the ability to maintain a fitness schedule while away is a high-ranking requisite, which is why when length is limited, contra flow jets prove a welcome addition. On a family charter, pools are often the hub of the boat, with the children or grandchildren enjoying a splash multiple times a day, every day. And when the opportunity arises, a glass-bottom pool, waterfall, infinity edge or swim up bar make for incredible design features. 

Yachts for charter: swimming pool highlights 

The advantages of chartering a yacht with a pool are threefold, and the imaginative lengths that owners, designers and shipyards now go to – from rising pool floors to create a flush dancefloor to glass-encased pools that throw dappled light on the guests below – are enough to make the pools themselves a star of the charter show.  

NORTH STAR 

The exterior spaces aboard NORTH STAR are designed with guests’ outdoor enjoyment in mind, with spacious deck spaces offering both shade and sun and a stunning lower deck beach club. But it’s on the sun deck where most of the action takes place, with a large swimming pool with built-in seating and surrounded by sun beds for ultimate relaxation. The sun deck also includes a bar, making cocktails in or by the pool a must, with sunset views and a yawning horizon all around. 

SILVER ANGEL 

Offering the best of Made in Italy appeal, the Benetti-built SILVER ANGEL  has one of the prettiest raised jacuzzis on water. A mosaiced floor, rounded oval shape and travertine marble surround draw the eye, while the glass balustrades gift uninterrupted views from an elevated position. When a workout is on the cards, the large jacuzzi features resistance jets making a morning swim a luxury worth waking up to.  

Yachts for sale: owner’s deck highlights 

Sometimes, the goods are so good, it’s hard to have to share, which is why an increasing number of superyachts feature a dedicated owner’s deck that rivals all other areas. From en suite master suites, lavish offices, beauty salons, treatment rooms and gyms, some owner’s decks even feature private pools and hot tubs creating a fully autonomous hideaway. 

PROJECT 825

She may still be in build but when she is delivered in November 2024, the 75.8m (248.6ft) Feadship PROJECT 825 will enable her owners to take themselves away and just unwind for a while. A dedicated owner’s deck not only has a sumptuous owner’s suite with office, huge en suite and a walk-in wardrobe, it has access to a private terrace with jacuzzi. Walkaround sidedecks lead aft to private dining outside the owner’s lounge so the owners can have their own dinner parties. There’s a glass-bottomed pool on the main deck aft, above the beach club, and a jacuzzi outside the bridge deck gym so no-one misses out on the freshwater fun.

The split-level owner’s suite on board PHOENIX 2 is one of luxury with an upper deck observation lounge and a main deck bdroom suite on the main deck with a private outdoor jacuzzi for when socialising just doesn’t appeal. Above, the sun deck features a 7m (23ft) oval pool with separate jacuzzi on the sun deck for a simple splash in the sun or a snooze in the shade on the sunpads. There's also a main deck ballroom and a 4m (13.1ft) deep swim platform with hydraulic bathing steps, for those quick morning dips in the sea or when going out on the array of watertoys.

Superyacht Pools: Top 5 Best in the World

Here we showcase some of the best Superyacht Pools in the world.

Superyachts have long been known to host some of the richest people in the world, and builders are constantly on the look-out for new ways on how to create the ultimate experience onboard both for charters as well as private owners.

When it comes to swimming pools, what is arguably the center of relaxation on a yacht, there are a few names out there which takes the price for going the extra mile when it comes to kicking back onboard. Let’s have a look at some of the main players for the best superyacht pools in the world!

1. 136m Flying Fox Superyacht Pool

One of the stand-out Superyacht pools within the yachting game is definitely the 12-metre swimming pool onboard 136m Flying Fox, which runs transversely on the Main deck, a first for a superyacht of this size and a technological challenge unlocked.

What the guests will notice is the glass front that can be misted to opaque at the touch of a button, the swim jets at one end and the massage jets at the other, and the height-adjustable floor that means it can offer a deep swim, shallow paddle or even, at full height above the water, a bandstand for parties.

2. 162m Eclipse Superyacht Pool

If the impressive engineering of the Superyacht pool onboard Flying Fox sets her apart, the sheer beauty of its peer onboard Ecplise rightfully earns her the number two spot on our list.

The pool is a vast entertaining space, with 3.2 metre overheads and a retracting glass sunroof. The ambience of the pool is as important as how it looks. You’ve got to want to sit by it. Or dance on it: the blue granite bottom of the pool rises up to sit flush with the deck to create a dance-loor. It can also be lowered a touch to create a paddling pool.

3. 126m Octopus Superyacht Pool

Something that stand with the 126.2 metre Lürssen superyacht Octopus is that she’s an explorer yacht, but with some of the finest features out there. Octopus was built for the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and is packed with all sorts of treats. Alongside her two helicopters and submarine, a glass-bottom swimming pool can transform into a dancefloor with a nearby bar for drinks served poolside.

4. 107m Lana Superyacht Pool

For our fourth spot, the Italian built beauty Lana takes the spotlight with her elegant, minimal and sophisticated design. She’s the charter yacht of choice for Bill Gates and party guest Jeff Bezos, as well as Beyonce and Jay-Z, 107-metre  Lana  hosts an inviting eight-metre Superyacht pool on her aft deck. One of many spa facilities on board the Benetti-built colossus, the pool is surrounded by sunpads looking out port and starboard towards the ocean.

5. 85m Victorious Superyacht Pool

AK Yacht’s 85-metre Victorious was launched in April 2021 and, after 14 years in the making. The focus and design of this Superyacht pool comes from the owner’s passion for the water, which is evidenced by the 200-square-metre beach club, which has a counter-current pool, gym, massage room, beauty salon and, of course, a traditional hammam. A great place to lay back for a relaxing afternoon!
