Fold out terraces and a flyboard turn a charter yacht into a waterside platform and a launchpad. The terraces fold from the hull at anchor, opening living space at the waterline where guests sit level with the sea. The flyboard connects to a jet ski via a long hose and lifts riders on pressurised water jets, reaching three to five metres above the surface.
Five charter yachts carry both, spanning fifty-four to ninety-three metres. Maraya, a fifty-four metre CRN, and Katina at sixty metres open the fleet with fold out beach clubs. Arience at sixty-one metres and Lemon Tree at sixty-two metres bring larger terrace configurations from Abeking and Rasmussen and Sanlorenzo respectively. Lady S crowns the range at ninety-three metres with multi-level terraces and a dedicated flyboard instructor.
Weekly rates range from two hundred and sixty thousand euros for Katina to one million seven hundred and fifty thousand for Lady S. Maraya charters at two hundred and sixty-five thousand, Lemon Tree at four hundred and eighty-five thousand and Arience at five hundred and ninety-five thousand. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks on top of the charter fee.
The western Mediterranean leads the summer calendar, with Croatia, the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia providing calm bays that keep both features in daily use. The terraces work best at anchor in flat water, and the flyboard needs clear sea away from other vessels. From November several yachts reposition to the Caribbean, where the Bahamas and the Grenadines offer warm, shallow water through winter.
