The Yacht Charter ToyBox: What's Making A Splash For Summer 2025

While flying above the water is pretty great, getting beneath the surface is just as thrilling. Today's yacht charter toy collections can now go to new depths. Seabobs have long been a staple on board, and the electric-powered underwater scooters can easily propel you through and under the water; the latest, Seabob F9 Series, has been designed by Porsche and provides you with the best kind of experience and the fastest scooter of its kind. Staying under the water for longer can now be enjoyed, not through simply scuba diving, but by getting inside a personal submersible. 

U-Boat Worx is one company to look out for this year - the company built their Nemo, which is designed for two people to plunge to depths and witness shipwrecks, reefs, and marine life from the comfort of a climate-controlled capsule. Triton Submersibles also do a range of leisure crafts for superyachts, such as the compact Triton 660, accommodating two people. Once thought of as unattainable on yachts, today, submersibles are becoming increasingly common onboard.

On a yacht charter, you will experience a range of new water sports to try your hand at, whether scuba diving, e-foiling, or surfing. But, you may also wish not to leave your sports behind. Golf has become a staple on the aft decks of superyachts lately, and today, there is a range of toys that can help you bring tee time onboard. 

Yacht golf kits typically feature biodegradable golf balls and inflatable nets from FunAir. For a technological twist to the game, the new company Off the Deck recently launched its SeaDrive CX golf simulator; this yacht-adapted simulator lets you swing from the deck with instant feedback and virtual shot trajectory, perfect for those who want to improve their handicap while relaxing at sea. It's not just golf for sports being reimagined onboard; inflatable sports decks and accessories onboard expansive decks can include basketball hoops, football courts, and pickleball and padel courts. For those wanting to stay consistent with their workouts, companies like GymMarine also have a range of customized yacht gym setups onboard various charter yachts. 

For all these toys, the charter yacht requires another platform to enable the fun, depending on the size of the mothership, in the form of RIBs, tenders, wake boats, larger chase boats, and some even have a shadow boat. These boats can be dedicated to specific watersports, such as wakeboarding, skiing, and scuba diving. A larger version can also carry additional toys and support the yacht. 

For one of the best multi-purpose tenders, watch for the Castoldi JT 17, which has plenty of features for a day out on the water. Williams, another popular tender for watersports, has an evolved model of the EvoJet this year, the 70e. Our charter yachts in the IYC fleet all carry the most suitable boats to improve and enhance your watersport experience.
