A floating pickleball court has been baiting clicks in recent days, commissioned in China by the travel concierge service Via Croatia for the 44m charter yacht Aretha. It may be big, blue Instagram candy, but large-scale superyacht inflatables are serious business — and for good reason. “On boats there’s a finite amount of space,” says John Courtney, managing director FunAir, a US-based superyacht inflatables specialist (but not responsible for the pickleball court).

On a sunny Saturday morning in July 2019, Marnix Hoekstra arrived at the Yacht Club de Monaco with little idea why he was actually there. “Come and meet a group of people,” Dennis Frederiksen from Fraser had told the co-creative director at Dutch studio Vripack. “You won’t regret it.” Frederiksen, a broker who has sold £1 billion of boats in a 40-year career, is a meeting worth taking for any superyacht designer, no matter how cryptic the brief.

Every January in Boat International magazine a list of the 101 largest superyachts in the world is published. These are mind-blowing behemoths, but it’s the prosaic detail, rather than the big-ticket opulence, that speaks loudest. On the 156m Dilbar, the fifth largest yacht in the world, there are 1,000 sofa cushions and 1,100km of cabling, about the distance from London to Avignon. It took 4,000 people six million man hours to build Azzam, the longest yacht in the world at more than 180.
