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

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.

Take a dip in the four metre swimming pool on board 48.3 metre Polaris I, which features a glass and titanium waterfall – it's the perfect spot for watching the sunset with a glass of bubbly. Also boasting a cosy sauna within the beach club and a generous swimming platform with a drop-down staircase for easy sea access, this 2014 RossiNavi superyacht is a great choice for those who wish to spend their entire vacation in the water.

Managed for charter by Camper & Nicholsons, Polaris I has a weekly rate starting from €210,000.

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.

A Soviet icebreaker turned explorer yacht, 77.4 metre Legend has a range of 7,640 nautical miles, and her superyacht spa pool is equally as impressive. When cruising through the chilly waters of Northern Europe this summer, up to 16 people can enjoy a dip in the pool, which is fed by a cascading waterfall. If it's too breezy up on deck, guests can head to the Balinese spa to enjoy the sauna, Jacuzzi and beauty salon.

Delivered in 1973 by IHC Verschure and refitted in 2016 by Icon Yachts, Legend can sleep up to 26 guests in 13 cabins, with a crew of 19. She is managed for charter by Camper & Nicholsons.

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.

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.

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.

TV can accommodate 12 guests and is managed for charter by Edmiston & Company.
