A Deep Dive into the Innovative Yacht Pools of KISMET and MY UTOPIA IV
Superyacht pools have come a long way from their utilitarian origins. Today, they are dazzling centerpieces rather than just a place to cool off. The superyacht pool has become a canvas for design and engineering mastery. Modern trends include infinity edges, glass-bottom designs, and integrated lighting and sound systems. Among the finest examples are the pools aboard Lürssen’s 122-meter marvel KISMET and M/Y UTOPIA IV, a 72-meter Feadship beauty. These yachts redefine what it means to have a pool at sea, each offering unique features that set them apart.
The 122-metre KISMET embodies opulence, and her main deck pool is no exception. The pool offers unobstructed panoramic views of the seascape ahead, with its infinity edge seamlessly blending into the horizon, creating the mesmerising illusion of water merging with the endless expanse of the sea. Surrounding the pool, plush loungers and a fully stocked bar create the perfect social hub for guests, encouraging relaxation and conversation.
Her pool is as innovative as it is beautiful, featuring advanced temperature control systems that ensure the water is always at the desired temperature for an optimal experience. A customisable lighting system allows guests to instantly transform the pool’s atmosphere; from the dynamic displays of a vibrant party to the calming, muted tones of a serene escape.
In contrast to KISMET’s overt opulence, the 72-metre MY UTOPIA IV exudes understated elegance and functional design. The pool, seamlessly integrated into the yacht’s beach club on the aft deck, features a glass bottom that allows dappled sunlight to stream into the space below, enhancing the sense of connection to the ocean. Aesthetically, the pool’s clean lines and minimalist design perfectly complement the yacht’s sleek and modern look.
MY UTOPIA IV’s swim-up bar exemplifies how functionality and elegance can coexist in harmony. The pool’s depth can be adjusted to suit guests’ preferences, making it ideal for both swimming and lounging. Advanced water purification systems ensure the water is always crystal clear. Every thoughtful detail enhances the guest experience.
The innovative pools aboard KISMET and MY UTOPIA IV represent the cutting edge of superyacht design. As we move into 2025, these features are setting new industry standards. As superyacht owners seek more personalised and immersive experiences, pools like those on KISMET and MY UTOPIA IV will undoubtedly continue to shape future trends and push the boundaries of superyacht design.
