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

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.

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.

Savannah's nine metre superyacht pool is enough to get her on our list, but her beautiful Jacuzzi and vast beach platform really swing it. Have a paddle on deck and simply stroll the few steps to the swimming platform so you can dive into the ocean. Delivered in 2015 by Feadship, 83.5 metre Savannah also has a luxurious spa and Hammam on board for ultimate relaxation.

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.

A perfect yacht for relaxation and pampering Titania has a large Jacuzzi pool with swim-up bar on her top deck.

Titania can accommodate 12 guests and is managed for charter by Burgess.

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.

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

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.
