The sundeck aboard this 73 metre Feadship superyacht is the ideal spot for relaxation, and is outfitted more like the interior of a beach house than an outdoor patio. Loungers with optional shading sit aft, while forward is a spa pool with a bar and dining sofa. Designed inside and out by RWD, with space and on board living in mind, Lunasea encapsulates that ‘home away from home’ feeling.
Skat’s standout feature is hard to miss, with the generous Jacuzzi and sun beds sitting forward of the spacious sundeck. Sitting atop this striking vessel, the sundeck draws attention and offers the best seat in the house for watching those sunsets and sunrises. The iconic, military-inspired Lürssen superyacht offers an unexpected calm and clean interior – something you wouldn’t expect from its exterior.
When the owner of Polar Star set about refitting this 63 metre Lürssen explorer yacht at MB92 in 2016, the spa pool was a key priority. Out went the old circular hexagonal tub, to be replaced by a more modern rectangular pool with a glass side that allows the effect of the underwater lighting to be appreciated by guests relaxing nearby.
Most superyacht hot tubs need to be drained when cruising and refilled when moored up, creating inconvenient delays for those looking to take a quick dip. The waiting time is trimmed to just 40 minutes on the 49.6 metre Admiral superyacht Ouranos, whose fast-filling hot tub holds a massive 4,000 litres of water — that's the equivalent of 50 average-sized bath tubs.

Having a great view out from your superyacht spa pool is essential, and guests on board 55 metre Amels yacht Elixir get a view that is hard to beat. With glass panels on all sides, the panoramic vistas from this ideal relaxation spot are impressive to say the least.
This spa pool can also be covered up when shade is needed, and when it’s time for liquid refreshment the backlit onyx bar is only a few steps away. Currently available for charter through Y.CO, Elixir boasts accommodation for 12 guests with a crew of 12 on hand to cater for your every whim.
