The 10 Most Stunning Superyacht Pools

No longer content with a humble hot tub, superyacht owners are demanding ever bigger and more sophisticated swimming pools as their yachts grow in size and volume. Here are our editors’ picks for the ten most stunning superyacht pools in the world.

Behind the Dutch Dynasty

A tour through Holland’s shipyards reveals how a charming tradition satisfies global demand.

Oceans 10

Yachts International presents the 10 largest yachts launched in the past year.

Oceans 10: Oceanco St. Princess Olga

While under construction, Oceanco referred to St. Princess Olga simply as Y708, her hull number. The late designer Alberto Pinto took her on as one of his last projects.

Oceanco Nirvana: Engineered for Enlightenment

Oceanco’s 290-foot (88.5-meter) Nirvana is a superyacht tour de force. Her distinctive profile cuts an imposing figure whether at anchor in Saint-Tropez or alongside the dock in Monaco. With her dark-blue hull, her flared bow, the swooping notch in her sheerline, and her bright caprails and transom, she is a standout anywhere she goes.

Oceans 12: The Year of the Megayacht

This past year saw the launch of a vessel that will likely unseat the current queen of the Top 100, Eclipse. Currently under lock and key at German builder Lürssen’s yard, speculations on ownership of this 591-foot (180-meter) yacht abound, but this wasn’t Lürssen’s only marquee moment.

Oceans 12: Hodgdon Limo Tenders

The 35-foot (10.5-meter) Michael Peters–designed Hodgdon Limo tender is a versatile fiberglass and carbon-fiber beauty. The hydraulically raising roof means guests won’t dampen their spirits in inclement weather or miss out on a sunny day. This feature provides easy boarding and 360-degree ventilation.

Holland Update: Were Do We Go From Here?

We came back from a tour of the Dutch shipyards, organized by the Dutch yachting association (part of a larger association promoting the Dutch marine industry, known as HISWA), with some positive news. Most (if not all) the Dutch shipyards have a number of big yachts currently under construction and the future looks bright.
