The beach club is the single most significant change in superyacht design of the past two decades. What was once a lazarette full of ropes and fenders is now a water level living space, and for many charter guests it becomes the room where the week actually happens.
A proper beach club sits at the stern on the lower deck, opening onto a swim platform and often flanked by fold-down terraces that extend the floor out over the water on both sides. Inside you will typically find a bar, seating, a shower and direct access to the toy garage, with a gym, sauna or hammam behind it on larger yachts. The best examples feel continuous with the sea rather than separated from it, with the platform submerged just enough to create a shallow shelving beach.
The practical effect is that swimming stops being an event. Guests move between the water, the shade and a drink without climbing a deck, which suits mixed groups, weaker swimmers and long afternoons at anchor. It also keeps the toys close, so a seabob or a paddleboard takes seconds to launch rather than a crew evolution.
Beach clubs appear from around thirty five metres upward and are close to universal above fifty. Weekly rates across our beach club fleet start near one hundred thousand euros. Tell us your dates and we will show you the yachts where the stern is the best room on board.
