Water baby: 17 of the best charter yachts for having a dip

Irimari

Boasting a glass wall facing the sundeck cocktail bar, the 7,000 litre pool on board Sunrise 63.1 metre Irimari offers the perfect spot for guests to relax. Alternatively, guests can unwind inches away from the surface of the ocean courtesy of a fold down beach club with balconies on either side.

Additionally, her master en-suite bathroom boasts a vast and contemporary bathtub for those who prefer to spend an evening soaking with a good book.

Managed for charter by Ocean Independence, she has a weekly charter rate starting from €460,000 in the low season and €490,000 in the high season.

Alfa Nero

The 82 metre Alfa Nero, delivered by Oceanco in 2007, boasts a seven metre infinity pool on the main deck aft that can be converted into a shallow paddling pool, helipad or dance floor. With two additional spa pools, a cooling mist system available on the outside decks and a plethora of toys, she's the ideal option for water lovers this winter.

Managed for charter by Royale Oceanic, Alfa Nero can accommodate up to 12 guests on board with a crew of 26.

Seven Sins

Seemingly designed with water babies in mind, the 52 metre Sanlorenzo 52 Steel yacht Seven Sins boasts a glass-bottomed swimming pool —complete with 12 tonnes of water, glass panel walls and sophisticated lighting for nighttime dips — above an expansive water-level beach club, with access to the sea from fold-out balconies on either side. Additionally, the centrefold of this superyacht beach club can be transformed into a float-in tender garage.

Managed for charter by YPI, Seven Sins can accommodate up to 10 guests in five cabins.

Nirvana

Boasting both a 7.5 metre counterflow pool on the aft deck, the floor of which can be raised to add space to the deck, a 3 metre plunge pool surrounded by sunpads forward on the sundeck and a Jacuzzi over the bow, the 88.5 metre Nirvana is perfect for those happier in the water than out.

Delivered in 2012 by Oceanco, she can sleep up to 12 guests in six cabins. Other highlights include a fully equipped gym, a games room complete with poker table, a cinema with tiered seating and a luxurious spa.

Managed for charter by Edmiston, she is available  in the Indian Ocean this winter.

The Wellesley

The Wellesley’s beautifully designed Art Deco interior is perfectly complemented by her splash pool with a waterfall, located on the top deck. With space for up to eight guests and surrounded by sun pads it’s the social epicentre of the yacht. The top deck of the 56.2 metre yacht is also home to a bar and BBQ for further relaxation on board.

The Wellesley can host up to 12 guests and is managed for charter by Thompson, Westwood & White Yachts. 

Sherakhan

As you would expect from a yacht that can accommodate up to 26 guests there are multiple options for having a splash around while on board Sherakhan.

Her standout feature is her 18-person Jacuzzi which is glass bottomed so that it floods the atrium beneath with light. She also has a hand-crafted mosaic Jacuzzi in her expansive spa area. The lucky occupants of her vast master suite also have a further option as it has a private Jacuzzi.

Sherakhan is managed for charter by Y.CO.

Kismet

As you would expect from one of the most expensive yachts for charter Kismet has multiple options if you want to swim while on board. Located on her upper foredeck is a beautiful mosaic tiled pool with an inset Jacuzzi while her spa area offers a further spa pool and cold plunge pool. Her swimming facilities also have green credentials as they use a “closed loop system” which allows for the water to be heated via her exhaust.

Kismet can accommodate 12 guests and is managed for charter by Moran Yacht & Ship.

Okto

There is no denying that Okto’s large swimming pool is one her standout features. The six metre pool can be filled with either sea or fresh water and can be heated or cooled with the use of a contraflow current. Its open position gives you breathtaking views while you swim.

Okto can accommodate 11 guests and is managed for charter by Y.CO.

Icon

Following an extensive refit Icon now boats a five metre infinity swimming pool. With glass elements to the front and stern above the transom, and a glass bottom that brings a flood light to the beach club below, Icon is one of the best charter yachts to swim on. With sun pads on either side, you can go from water to relaxation in seconds, venture down to the beach club area below, or to the Jacuzzi and sun lounging pads on her sun deck.

Icon accommodates 12 guests and is managed for charter by bluewater.

TV

Located forward and offering both privacy and panoramic views 78.4 metre _TV_offers a stunning 16-person Jacuzzi and swimming jet pool. The pool is also served by a full bar aft making it the perfect place to cool off and enjoy time with friends.
