It’s also the perfect jumping off point for fun activities in the water on the yacht’s array of toys and tenders.
More than just a place to splash in the sea, the beach club has transformed the traditional aft deck tender garage into a luxurious waterside entertainment centre, and is now a must-have feature on every luxury charter yacht.
