Which yachts have the best swim platforms?

Answer

The most suitable swim platform depends on how you intend to use it. Important characteristics can include its size, height above the water, access to the sea, bathing-ladder arrangement and relationship to the yacht’s other outdoor areas.

Some yachts have large hydraulic platforms that can also support launching tenders or water toys.

Analysis

“Best” is subjective. A family with young children may value easy, stable access, while an active group may prioritise space for watersports equipment.

The platform should therefore be assessed in context with the yacht’s overall deck design.

Broker’s advice

If you picture spending hours swimming from the yacht, tell us. We can identify yachts where the aft deck and swim platform are genuinely designed around that lifestyle rather than simply noting that the yacht has a swimming platform.
