These inflatable saltwater ‘pools’ are a great way to extend your super yacht’s deck space into the sea. They provide a safe, convenient netted area to attach to the side of your yacht, from which you can launch jetskis, or simply use as a easy way to enjoy a dip in the big blue.

2. Minisubs

The technology for mini submarines, such as the frankly brilliant Superyacht Sub 3, has developed rapidly over the past few years. Now you and two guests can really come face to face with the plants and creatures of the deep, thanks to these compact and lightweight vehicles, capable of diving up to three hundred metres.

3. Electric surfboards

4. Flyboards
