Onboard screens that steal the show

Benetti’s 108 metre I.J.E 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.

Bilgin's 80-metre superyacht Tatiana has a wealth of entertainment features packed into her 1,680GT interiors styled by H2 Yacht Design. The cosy, blacked-out cinema features a warm colour palette and soft lighting and is equipped with plush sofas and even a daybed behind so that you can fully relax (or drift off to sleep) while watching your favourite film on the big screen. 

Laurentia's interior designer Radyca is particularly proud of her aft deck cinema - and for good reason. The retractable HD projector is fitted right above the sliding doors leading to the main saloon and is double-sided, allowing guests to watch movies from both the saloon and the aft deck at the same time. The screen is treated with special 360-degree projection technology - which can be applied to both vinyl and glass - meaning films can be projected onto both sides simultaneously using just one projector, equating to an impressively high-tech space-saving solution.

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 world. 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.

The iconic Perini Navi sailing yacht Maltese Falcon boasts the largest outdoor movie screen on the water. How? Films are projected onto her sails. This unusual outdoor cinema beats any indoor theatre experience hands down. Following an extensive refit at Italian yard Lusben in 2024, Maltese Falcon was injected with a new lease of life and saw several other enticing additions, including a new 10-square-metre pool and sunbed on the aft portion of the flybridge deck, as well as an entire interior upgrade.

Measuring just under 105 metres, 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.
