Water Toys: The Charter Playground
One of the greatest pleasures of a yacht charter is the extraordinary array of water toys and equipment available on modern charter yachts. From adrenaline-pumping jet skis to serene paddleboarding, the water toy inventory can transform your charter into an aquatic adventure playground.
Essential Water Toys
Jet Skis: The most popular water toy on charter yachts. Modern jet skis are powerful, stable, and exhilarating. Most charter yachts carry one or two jet skis, and the deck crew will provide instruction for beginners.
Seabobs: These underwater scooters have revolutionised water sports on charter yachts. Grip the handles, point down, and the Seabob propels you through the water at speeds up to 20 km/h. It is the closest thing to flying underwater.
Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP): Perfect for calm mornings at anchor. SUP offers a gentle workout with spectacular views of the coastline and underwater life.
Kayaks: Single and double kayaks for exploring coastlines, sea caves, and mangrove channels that are inaccessible by tender.
Snorkelling Equipment: Every charter yacht carries masks, snorkels, and fins for all guests. Snorkelling directly from the swim platform is one of the simplest and most rewarding charter activities.
Advanced Water Toys
Wakeboards and Water Skis: Towed behind the yacht's tender, wakeboarding and water skiing offer high-energy thrills. The deck crew provides instruction for all levels.
E-Foils: The latest sensation in water sports. An electric-powered hydrofoil surfboard that lifts you above the water surface, creating the sensation of flying. Surprisingly easy to learn with instruction.
Flyboards: Jet-powered boots that propel you into the air using water pressure. Spectacular to watch and exhilarating to try, though not for the faint-hearted.
Diving Equipment: Many charter yachts carry full scuba diving equipment, and some have a dive master on the crew. Destinations like the Maldives, Greece, and the Caribbean offer world-class diving directly from the yacht.
Inflatable Slides and Platforms: Giant inflatable slides attached to the yacht's upper decks, floating trampolines, and swim platforms create a water park atmosphere that children (and adults) love.
Superyacht-Level Toys
The largest superyachts carry toys that blur the line between water sports and engineering marvels:
Tenders: Not just a means of getting ashore, modern yacht tenders are high-performance vessels in their own right. Some superyachts carry chase boats capable of 50+ knots, perfect for island-hopping and exploring.
Submarines: A growing number of superyachts carry personal submarines, allowing guests to explore the underwater world in comfort and safety to depths of 100+ metres.
Sailing Dinghies: Laser dinghies, Hobie Cats, and other small sailing boats for guests who enjoy sailing.
Fishing Equipment: Deep-sea fishing gear, including fighting chairs, outriggers, and professional-grade rods and reels.
