A swimming pool on a charter yacht is a genuine luxury of space. Every square metre given to a pool is one taken from a saloon, a sun deck or a tender garage, which is why pools remain relatively rare below fifty metres and why the yachts that carry them tend to be designed around outdoor living from the start.
The fleet divides into a few distinct types. Deck pools, usually on the main aft deck or the sun deck, are the most common, often fitted with counter-current jets so you can swim properly rather than simply cool off. Infinity pools that spill toward the horizon appear on larger tri-decks. Glass-bottomed pools that throw daylight into the deck below are the signature of a handful of recent builds. Many are heated, which extends the season considerably through the Mediterranean shoulder months.
A pool changes how a week is spent. Guests who would not swim off the stern in open water will happily spend an afternoon in a pool at anchor, and children can swim under supervision without a tender going in. In busy anchorages, or where jellyfish or current make open swimming unappealing, it is the difference between using the water and looking at it.
Yachts with pools in our charter fleet run from around forty metres upward, with weekly rates from roughly one hundred and fifty thousand euros. Tell us your dates and your group, and we will show you which are open.
