12 standout superyacht cinemas for movie nights on board

Whether you have been trying to master an electric surfboard, or exploring ashore in the beating heat, sometimes it is nice to just put your feet up and flick on a movie. From a big screen experience to a cinema under the stars, we take a look at 12 of the best cinemas afloat...

Secret

Up to 12 guests can gather to watch films – nautical themed or otherwise – in the plush upper deck cinema on 82 metre Secret. Built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2013, the superyacht for sale boasts an interior by Jim Harris with the cinema fulfilling the luxurious design brief. The space is home to 12 red leather cinema-style reclining seats, so guests can flick through the list of over 1,000 movies in utmost comfort.

Famed for being the largest trimaran in the world, Echo Yachts’ 84 metre White Rabbit has plenty of space for entertaining facilities like cinemas. Located on the sundeck, the cinema is finished in chequered Tasmanian oak and was designed as an informal area for younger generations to enjoy.  The cinema seats vibrate depending on what’s happening on screen, while the whole area can be shut off for a true cinema experience. Being away from the accommodation also means you can turn the volume way up.

The 85 metre SilverYachts explorer Bold is home to an enormous screen - or rather nine screens that can be synchronised to show one gigantic image - for streaming videos, looking at navigation information and charts, or watching a movie with the family. The space doubles up as a disco room in the evenings and the screen is hooked up to high-wattage sound via Renkus-Heinz speakers.



Tatoosh

Nobiskrug’s 92.4 metre Tatoosh was originally delivered in 2000, but emerged in 2021 following an extensive refit. A full cinema is located on the main deck and features plush armchairs and footrests in crimson velvet, offering the perfect place for a private screening or a cosy movie night on board. A starred carpet is reminiscent of Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame - which seems more than fitting.

Benetti’s 108 metre IJE features an Art Deco interior by British studio RWD. Unlike the bright and airy main saloon and guest quarters, the cinema is finished in darker colours to ensure a perfect film-viewing experience and it’s fitted with a massive door and absorbing materials such as leather, carpets and soft cushions to prevent any noise from escaping into the adjacent guest or crew cabins.

Acoustics were a primary focus for the Reymond Langton design team during the construction of Nobiskrug's sustainable hybrid superyacht, and that means that movie nights in the cosy cinema room on board Artefact will be uninterrupted by the outside word. The room has been equipped with a theatre-size screen and Atmos surround sound for an immersive viewing experience, and is also decorated with three-dimensional custom-made ceiling and wall panels constructed from corrugated leather which are designed to help with acoustic performance and soundproofing.

Measuring just under 105 metres LOA, the Blohm+Voss superyacht Lady Moura was one of the biggest boats in the world at the time of her launch in 1990, which means there's plenty of space on board for entertainment features like this expansive cinema room. Her interior designer Luigi Sturchio created a resplendent cinema with dramatic colours and lighting, finished with deep-cushioned sofas and classical columns for a palatial feel.
