yacht infinity pool

This futuristic 360-foot superyacht concept valued at up to $600 million features a giant glass eye and a glass bottom infinity pool

• Bhusan Powar Design unveiled a concept yacht with a giant dome window shaped like an eye.
• The 360-foot concept vessel is called "Zion" and includes a glass elevator and infinity pool.
• Superyacht sales hit a new record in 2021, as buyers snapped up more than 887 vessels.

The yacht is 110 meters or 360 feet long and named "Zion," a word which means "highest point" in Hebrew.

Bhusan Powar Design said the glass dome window at the center of the vessel was created to look like a black hole. The large window offers 180-degree views of the ocean.

The superyacht has an infinity pool with a glass bottom that allows a clear view of the ocean's depths.

The vessel has a flybridge which the design firm said provides high visibility and serves as a prime location for lounging. Each level of the ship is connected by an all-glass elevator.

The superyacht can accommodate about 20 guests, as well as 20 crew members. It has 10 rooms, including an owner's suite which is connected to the main deck via electronically operated sky lounge balconies on either side of the ship.

The ship has a built-in garage that opens out near the waterline for deploying water sport vehicles. It also has a nearly 40-foot landing pad for a helicopter.

The design firm said that it estimates the vessel would be worth about $500 to $600 million.

"Our concept 'Zion' attracts eyes with its modern elegance and surprises the owner with the mysteries of the deep," the designers said in a press release.

The company did not specify how long it would take to build the ship or whether the concept would come to fruition.

It's not Bhusan Powar Design's first superyacht concept.

The firm launched in 2019 in Goa, a city off the Arabian Sea. The same year, the firm — which describes itself as the "first luxury yacht design studio in India" — unveiled a concept for a 209-foot luxury yacht called "Blue Shark."

The coolest superyacht pools in the world

Superyacht swimming pools are a luxury in more ways than one, proving a technological challenge that, when pulled off, elevate a superyacht to even higher standards of splendour. BOAT takes a closer look at the yachts that have risen to the occasion, with designs that feature cinema screens, chandeliers and basketball courts...

The 49.9-metre Grey retains the same classic Paszkowski profile as sisterships Kinda and Olokun , but with several all-important differences – including the addition of the swimming pool. Commissioned in 2021, this Tankoa Yachts build has been customised by her owner to feature a larger-than-usual, glass-sided swimming pool on the foredeck, complete with a high-definition, high-luminosity cinema screen. Flanked by sofa seating, the screen also includes integrated speakers and a surround-sound system courtesy of British-French brand Focal and Naim. 

The 80-metre Tatiana is the sister of Bilgin's bright-red Leona and both yachts have the same striking, bullet-style exterior. At her epicentre is a 110-square-metre, two-level beach club, connected to the main saloon by a dramatic, sweeping staircase. While there’s a pool on both decks, the largest is found on the lower deck. Clocking in at an impressive 8.5 metres long and three metres wide, the pool is surrounded by delicate glass columns, Carrara marble and a backlit, blue agate floor. When the yacht is anchored, the aft door and two side terraces unfold, creating a seamless connection to the ocean. The water from both pools is also recyclable, able to be stored in a heating holding tank.

Lady Jorgia

Lady Jorgia (formerly known as Ahpo ) is a 115-metre, Caribbean-inspired family superyacht. While a lot of her defining features are plainly visible, some sights are reserved only for guests, such as the mosaic-lined, eight-metre long, glass-fronted pool. This pool features integrated LED lighting and privacy walls – not including the aft wall, which was left transparent for ocean views. Below deck and even more exclusive is Lady Jorgia 's complementary spa plunge pool, prettified with a teak-and-teal wave mosaic design, bamboo panes and a leaf-shaped skylight. Both are warmed by the engines and generators’ normal operation, in an efficient heat-recovery system.

The 67-metre Seasense 's exceptionally large pool is actually what got the yacht sold – Cor D. Rover's pool-centric drawing stood out to future owner (and previous owner of three Rivas ) Charles Cohen. At ten metres long, 3.6 metres wide and able to support a staggering 27,000 litres of water, Cohen wanted sunlight to reach every millimetre of his magnum opus . That's why Seasense 's aft deck is so elongated, with the swimming pool actually being part of the hull rather than inserted afterwards (a more typical construction). To give you a better idea of its size, the crew can transform the emptied pool into a basketball court using 22 panels stored in lower deck lockers. A basketball hoop affixes to the deck overhang at the forward end of the pool.

The radical pool designed for 32.6-metre Lady Fleur doubles as storage for an 11-metre RIB tender, with the hydraulic submersible platform transforming into a five-metre-by-two-metre saltwater pool in seconds. Four bespoke rotor arms move the pool in a gentle swaying motion to avoid spilling water when underway, which builder X-Treme Yachts explained is part of a "totally custom-made system" that is "unique in the world". Designed for the owner's grandchildren, the pool contains nearly 19 tonnes of seawater when full and has an adjustable depth, from 0.3 to 1.5 metres.

Inspired by her owner's favourite shade "Monaco Red", the 64-metre Atomic definitely stands out from sisterships Sealion and Roma . This yacht's beating (red) heart is her brilliantly iridescent spa pool, found on the sundeck aft. With a tiered structure and glass bottom, sunlight refracts on the water's surface and sends colourful, coral waves to the dining area directly below. Adjacent to the pool is a split-level lounge space with a gas firepit and a U-shaped bar, surrounded by high-backed custom seating.

A World Superyacht Award winner in the Displacement Motor Yachts category, one of Somnium 's stand-outs is her chic, built-in, 9,000 litre pool. Overlooking the yacht's transom, ample ocean views encourage relaxation, while a counter-current jet provides a light work-out for the more active members on board. The pool floor can be raised flush with the deck and modular furniture placed on top to provide supplementary lounge space. During construction, Feadship had to find space below the pool and its machinery for a beach club and gym, as per the owner's request. The pool tank and its mosaic walls are thus visible from the beach club through a large picture window.

Christina O

The 99.1-metre Christina O 's recent role in Netflix drama The Crown isn't her first brush with the celebrity lifestyle. Delivered in 1943, she was rebuilt by the famous Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate and one of the world's richest men at the time. Under his ownership, Christina O entertained cultural icons Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill and JFK – and has an equally iconic pool to match her history. Found on the aft main deck, this saltwater fantail number is emblazoned with a Greek mythological minotaur mosaic. It is also capable of rising to form a dance floor at the push of a button. 

Built for the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the 126.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Octopus is indulgently decked-out with every conceivable amenity. Alongside her two helicopters and submarine, the heated, seven-metre freshwater swimming pool is considered Octopus ' greatest asset. The pool has a glass bottom that rises to create an on-water dance floor. In the immediate area, you'll find a bar, pizza oven and former music studio, whose isolation booth makes the perfect place for a DJ.

This Benetti build boasts an expansive wellness area, the jewel of which is a 30-square-metre, counter-flow swimming pool, kitted out with underwater speakers and an adjustable bottom. Luminosity's pool is clad in mirror-polished stainless steel, reflecting its surroundings and blurring the boundary between pool and seascape. The space above is punctuated with a custom chandelier inspired by a diamond. "When you look at the water and the sun is shining, it looks like millions of diamonds," said designer Zaniz. An accompanying four-degree plunge pool is decorated with on-theme visual cues, such as mirror-backed acrylic "ice-cubes" and an acrylic ice cube accessory, seen above. 

M'brace

The swimming pool on 74.5-metre M'brace (ex. Elandess ) has a futuristic look befitting her technological design. Eight metres by 2.5 metres and able to hold 22 tonnes of fresh water, hidden beams below the pool distribute its substantial weight to the outer edges of the superstructure and down to the hull. Thanks to two 280-millimetre diameter pipes, the pool can also be emptied in only three minutes. The sundeck swimming pool skylight allows natural light to filter to a circular staircase below deck, glinting off mother-of-flecks in a plaster surrounded by DKT Artworks.

Designed with economy and efficiency in mind, the 75-metre Kenshō has an aft deck that does it all: social seating, dining, a party space and (of course) a pool area, located on the lower deck for "mesmerising views at the same level as the ocean”. A complementary spa pool features a cut-away glass side and a large sunbed, with a shape styled after a manta ray. Inspired by the natural forces of Arizona's Antelope Canyon, the aft walls and the stairs on the pool deck look as if they were carved by the sea.

Built by Oceanco , this 90-metre, shark-inspired superyacht features two spectacular swimming pools. Pictured above is DAR's 1.6-metre-deep bridge deck pool, surrounded by bright-white sun pads and fed by a cascade of waterfalls that begin on the upper deck. It has been raised to make it safer for small children. Hidden on the owner's deck, however, is a completely private spa pool, flanked by one-way windows that reveal the world to the owners, but not the owners to the world.

Swimming pools and superyachts are a match made in heaven, with an onboard pool richly enhancing the yacht charter experience. Whether it's to take a sunrise dip in oasis-like solitude, unwind on the aft deck with friends, champagne in hand, or make a thrilling splash with those dearest: a swimming pool is the ideal setting for defining moments in untold comfort.

Freshwater or saltwater, heated or ice-cold, interior or exterior: yacht swimming pool options are practically endless. Features are plentiful too: from counter-current jets to swim bars to glass bottoms, to underwater lights and even pools that transform into dancefloors at the click of a button. A magical onboard escape, here are our favorite charter yachts with swimming pools that give you a true taste of the superyacht lifestyle.

Superyacht FLYING FOX

Builder: Lurssen 

Delivered: 2019

The 136m (446ft) superyacht FLYING FOX  is the world's largest charter yacht to date, so it should come as no surprise that she also features one of the most impressive swimming pools: a sprawling 12m spectacular that stretches out across her main deck aft.

It enjoys an elevated position overlooking the swim platform — which is more than 22.5m wide no less. From here, charter guests can take advantage of incredible views and the convenient direct connection to the beach club below.  Glittering mosaic tiles contrast against cream sun pads flanking the space, and provide ample seating for guests to relax while soaking up the sun. A TV screen is positioned forward for guests to indulge in all-day entertainment. 

As the sun sets over the horizon light gently illuminates the pool: an idyllic backdrop for a waterside aperitif or an evening dip aglow. 

Motor Yacht O'PARI

Builder: Golden Yachts

Delivered: 2020

A masterclass in exterior design and interior styling, 95m (311ft) superyacht O'PARI  is the yacht of choice for those looking for limitless luxury. Her voluminous deck spaces are ideal for bronzing, lounging and entertaining and of course, they are spoilt for choice when it comes to relaxation. On the sundeck, guests can slip into the raised spa pool which is conveniently located right next to the lavish outdoor lounge, dining area and full wet bar.

There is also a large Jacuzzi pool which is surrounded by plush sunpads on the bridge deck aft, and an expansive beach club that opens up onto a huge bathing platform, allowing guests to kick back and rejuvenate in ultimate style. 

Superyacht KENSHO

Builder: Admiral Yachts

Built around the owner’s love of the ocean, the 75m (246ft) yacht KENSHO 's spacious decks and zen-calm Asian-inspired interiors with lofty ceilings and full-length windows have been meticulously designed to harmoniously connect to her surroundings. One of her most outstanding features is of course, her sweeping swim deck featuring a 6-meter glass-fronted swimming pool, with steps leading to a waterside beach club and swim platform for easy access to the sea and onto the yacht’s water toys, including the ever-popular electric foiling boards and a raft of inflatables.

Relaxation and entertainment opportunities continue up on her sundeck, featuring an additional glass-fronted pool, convenient island bar and shaded areas that can be closed off to the elements or left open for a welcome breeze.

Yacht TITANIA

Builder: Lurssen

Delivered: 2006 

71m (233ft)  superyacht TITANIA  is another  Lürssen -built superyacht of an immaculate pedigree with a majestic pool. She provides a premier cruising experience, especially for entertaining as the vessel features a 4.5m upper deck pool replete with a swim-up bar. This luxury yacht is an ideal charter pick for guests keen to have poolside celebrations — she's made for them.

Coupled with her sea-level beach club offering a sauna, bar, as well as a veritable flotilla of toys, superyacht TITANIA ensures a blissful vacation that is completely harmonious with the open waters.

Superyacht SAVANNAH

Builder: Feadship

Delivered: 2015

Award-winning 84m (274ft) superyacht SAVANNAH  (the world's first hybrid superyacht) is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, and this includes her spectacular 9m long pool which extends along the main deck aft. Steps on both sides of the pool create a seamless transition to the swimming platform.

It's certainly the focal point from dawn to dusk. By day, when the sun hits the water, the tiles shimmer in shades of deep blue, rich turquoise and soft cerulean, mimicking the ripple of the ocean. When night falls, it's the perfect setting for champagne soirées under a blanket of stars, when the pool is gloriously illuminated.

Motor yacht ALFA NERO

Builder : Oceanco

Delivered : 2007

Iconic 81m (167ft) superyacht ALFA NERO  has won many accolades for her novel approach to superyacht living, and she continues to turn heads on the open waters. She boasts a much-celebrated infinity pool with a glass aft complete with a convertible platform. This impressive feat of engineering means her pool has myriad functions: it can be raised slightly to offer safer swimming for children, become an open space for a dining area,  turn into a dazzling dancefloor or even act as a helicopter landing pad. 

Flanked by sunbeds capturing sunlight from every angle, a wet bar and capacious al-fresco dining areas, the sleek motor yacht ALFA NERO ticks all the boxes for glamorous gatherings.

Superyacht CHRISTINA O

Builder: Canadian Vickers

Delivered: 1943 (Refit: 2017)

Classic  99m (325ft) superyacht CHRISTINA O single-handedly crafted the superyacht playbook as a floating pleasure palace for her previous owners, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Kennedy.  Today, her exterior styling and timeless interiors act as a nostalgic vignette to the golden era of yachting.

The vessel is home to the world-famous Onassis swimming pool, engraved with a faithful copy of a mosaic mural depicting a Minoan bull that originally appeared at the ancient palace of Knossos in Greece. The pool can be raised flush to the deck to transform into a functional space or turn into a dance floor for guests to shimmy the night away.

Motor yacht LADY LENA

Builder: Sanlorenzo 

A triumph of dynamic design, the  52m (170ft) luxury yacht LADY LENA  aims to impress with spacious social areas, light-drenched interiors and precise attention to Art Nouveau styling. The finest embodiment of this is her large glass-bottomed pool (in typical Sanlorenzo fashion) that gently suffuses a beautiful turquoise light onto the beach club below. In tandem, there are also fold-down terraces at either side of the beam where sunpads, deck chairs, and tables can be placed to create a social seating space.

Superyacht ICON

Builder: Icon Yachts 

Delivered: 2009

68m (223ft) motor yacht ICON is a yacht that certainly lives up to her name with her gorgeous 5m infinity pool. A stunning architectural design feat, it provides a mirage of a seemingly unending link between pool and sea, as well as providing a mesmerizing spot to gaze at the ever-changing panoramas.

On the lower deck aft, the exceptional beach club offers a bar, sun loungers, gym, and luxury hammam with ample space on the swimming platform to doze off while listening to the sound of gently lapping waves. From early-morning dips to late-night cocktails, motor yacht ICON's pool is a sublime setting for every occasion.

Superyacht OKTO

Builder: ISA 

Delivered: 2014

What do we love about the  66m (217ft) superyacht OKTO ? She's a visually striking delight from bow to stern. Her aft deck infinity pool is a sight to behold: offering picture-perfect 360-degree views. It can be both a salt or freshwater pool, but whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you will be able to swim in the utmost comfort and in total tranquility.

Yacht LADY S

93m (305ft) superyacht LADY S is the epitome of modern minimalism, and this theme elegantly extends to her aft deck glass-bottom swimming pool. 

The pool's design has been optimized to ensure the entire charter party can enjoy the space to the fullest. She boasts separate shaded and sunning areas for those desiring bronzing opportunities and a social hub. And should they so wish, guests can try out the waterfall shower head floating above the center of the pool with various pressures and features. The pool area also provides an excellent connection to the beach club on the main deck below. Together, they fuse into one cohesive haven onboard, thanks to a pair of staircases that lead into the area below.

Superyacht MADSUMMER

95m (312ft) superyacht MADSUMMER 's 12m swimming pool appears built into the main deck aft like a carefully cut sapphire; a gem enclosed by sizeable and welcoming sun pads and high glass bulwarks offering privacy and protecting the area from harsh winds. It's an utterly charming spot where yacht charter guests can spend most, if not all, of their time blissfully swimming laps or sliding into the water for a soak.

Yacht AXIOMA

Builder: Dunya Yachts

Delivered: 2013

Upon stepping onto  the 72m (236ft) superyacht AXIOMA 's main deck aft, you will be immediately greeted with the vessel's crowning glory: her sprawling infinity swimming pool. It's an open-air delight that provides the perfect setting for guests to enjoy a cooling dip on a sunbaked afternoon, before retreating to the cloud-like sunbeds that flank the pool for unrivaled bronzing spots.

The Top Pools on Private Yachts

Written by Rebecca Pascoe

It’s a slightly unnatural thing to have a pool floating on a yacht. But the largest private luxury yachts have all the size and the space, so why not? Why not be able to swim in fresh water on the aft deck and laze around the pool when on holiday? Here, we have a look at a selection of some of the biggest and best superyacht pools known.

“ Expedition Yacht Luna on the other hand gets full marks for size…”

No longer content with just a humble hot tub, superyacht designers and owners are venturing for even bigger and more sophisticated swimming pools. As superyachts grow in size and volume so do stunning private pools, many of which are located on main decks as well as fore decks. At night these spectacular pools are lit up by underwater lighting providing a mesmerizing effect.

From 5m long counter-flow sunken swimming pools to 12m custom infinity pools lined with mosaic tiles, surrounded by luxurious cushions and sun pads, there are different styles of pools for guests to enjoy. Some superyacht infinity pools have artificial counter-current and full dive stations which drop off directly into the ocean, awesome.

1. Motor yacht QUATTROELLE doesn’t have the largest pool in the superyacht world however it is impressive none the less. One reason is that it’s positioned way up on the 3rd deck. This makes for fantastic views and full sun. The pool area is also beautifully styled. A striking pool like this comes at a cost in terms of stability, so the pool cant be huge. Obviously the water needs to be drained when the yacht is making passage, as can be seen below. There aren’t many infinity pools on the top deck so QUATTROELLE gets full marks for interest and innovation.

2. The Expedition Yacht Luna on the other hand gets full marks for size. She has a huge aft deck and a huge swimming pool. Few other superyachts have dedicated so much space to sun worshiping. Luna’s long, elegant, trail away deck offers a vast pool, one of the best found on a superyacht. There’s also a huge decking area for sitting and soaking up the sun, just what’s needed to recharge your batteries. Other features include 10 VIP guest cabins each of which is over 100 square metres, a 20 metre outdoor swimming pool, nine decks and a large outdoor entertaining area.

3. One of the earlier very large yachts, Octopus is a 414 foot (126m) superyacht and one of the largest and most recognizable vessels in the world. The Octopus has a glass bottomed swimming pool located in one of its upper decks, ideal to relax in and have a refreshing swim. The yacht’s higher decks rap around the pool leaving a direct line to the sun, or the stars. This beautiful vessel also has many other major features like a cinema, a music recording studio, a hangar for two helicopters and even a ten person submarine. There’s also an owner’s exclusive deck with a walk-in closet, study, outside bar and a whirlpool.

4. The Serene superyacht is a yachting masterpiece with an internal seawater swimming pool (length 15 metres), a hot and cold Jacuzzi plus a jet stream swimming pool on the sundeck, what a choice! In addition to these pools the vessel also has a helicopter hangar, two helipads and a submarine hangar. There’s even underwater viewing space for the 24 guests on board who are well accommodated in the spectacular 12 luxurious state rooms.

5. The Lürssen yacht TV launched in 2008 is a 257-foot (78.3 metre) high volume luxury superyacht is owned by Mexican businessman Emilio Azcárraga Jean. Its sundeck area features a large, stunning spa pool with a capacity for 16 persons and a wonderful contra-flow swimming pool with a 20m water slide. There’s also a bar, barbecue and dining area on the vessel’s sundeck. The lower deck includes an amazing gymnasium, sauna, massage and beauty rooms, everything you need for a relaxing vacation.

6. The spectacular superyacht Ester III has a huge swimming pool. Located on the aft deck it spans two levels with a shallow end and a swim-up seat. Surrounded by sun pads this is one of the best superyacht swimming pools around. It’s perfect for mom and dad to soak up the sun while keeping a watchful eye on the kids as they play and swim in the pool. The water forms a waterfall down the front of the transom, running into teak grates below. It’s no wonder the Ester III was a real eye-catcher at the Monaco Yacht Show.

7. Now a common feature on mega yacht designs, the 269-foot (82-metre) Oceanco superyacht Alfa Nero was one of the first to have a large pool with glass window aft. One of the vessel’s most striking features is her aft deck with its unusually large swimming pool, complete with glass waterfall siding that converts to a helipad. The Oceanco boasts one of the world’s modern superyacht infinity pool innovations, 12 x 38 foot (3.7m x 11.6m). Through a hydraulic system this can be transformed into a dance floor or a helipad – wow!

Alfa Nero was early to have a very large swimming pool on her aft deck.

8. The all conquering megayacht Eclipse is a 557 foot luxury yacht has two swimming pools one of which is a spectacular 15m swimming pool featuring a bottom that can be raised to create a paddling pool. After a day of swimming and frolicking in the pool, this innovative feature can be lifted to turn the area into a dance floor. The Eclipse also has a sauna, cinema, mini submarine, 30 luxurious cabins, two helicopter pads including plenty of high-tech gadgetry.

9. Superyacht PEGASUS V . Another well know yacht, she provides guests with a variety of outside space and a decent sized pool to match. One of the most impressive features on board yacht PEGASUS VIII is the Beach Club (see photo below). This is a dry dock for the custom built tender which disembarks guests directly inside the yacht which can be “flooded” when the tender is outside and forms a 12 metre swimming pool with underwater lighting and steps.

Life On A Yacht With A Pool

Doesn’t sound too shabby, right? A yacht with a pool is becoming more common among the top yachts for charter or purchase. We’re not talking about Olympic-size pools with a super high diving board, but then again, when you have the entire ocean at your beck and call, who needs one?

Pool or Deck Jacuzzi

If all you really need is a quick dip or even a soothing hydro-massage, the on deck Jacuzzi typically acts as the pool on board. Water temperature can be regulated in most, so turning off the heat is an option if you need to cool down after an onboard workout. Either way, a yacht with a pool offers the ultimate in relaxation while you take in the vast views of the sea.

Exercise On A Yacht

If you’re a swimmer and enjoy challenges, a lap pool is not unheard of aboard some of the finest yachts. Equipped with an intense water jet stream, which is activated upon demand at different speeds, an artificial current disburses the resistance you crave for a full-body workout.

Yachts With Large Pools

Some onboard pools are large, and offer space for up to 12 people, so the whole charter party can socialize together, sipping custom cocktails and nibbling on tapas. The idea of a yacht with a pool starts to become more realistic when you picture yourself luxuriating with family and friends in the middle of the ocean.

Custom Yacht Pool

Almost anything seems possible when building a custom yacht with a pool. Some superyachts feature an infinity pool, making you feel at one with the ocean. A raised-deck pool broadens your views in all directions, unobstructed and expansive. Some yacht stylists can create intricate designs at the bottom and sides of a pool with mosaic tiles that can form some of the most elaborate patterns.

Why settle for only an infinity pool when you can have a panoramic Jacuzzi, too? Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design just combined both splashy features into one striking superyacht concept.

The newcomer features sprawling outdoor spaces, with the large aft decks free of any clunky structural elements that might spoil the view or interrupt the flow. Similarly, the pool on the main deck sits flush with a glass bulwark to ensure a clear view of the ocean. Gobbi says it “feels like swimming in the sea.” The lower deck offers more glitzy amenities still, with the beach club offering a panoramic Jacuzzi, a central lounge, and a gym.

As for the interior, Simply Custom yachts range in volume from approximately 2,500 to 2,700 GT. The vessels typically have an owner’s suite on the upper deck and six guest cabins on the main deck. (The layout can be further customized to the owner, of course.) Gobbi says the owner’s suite on Silver Ocean has a private terrace with a pool and a fluid stairway leading to a helipad on the bow.

In terms of performance, Simply Customs sport highly efficient hulls by Lateral Naval Architects and hybrid diesel-electric propulsion systems that are capable of running on low-carbon biofuels. Silver Ocean is expected to have a top speed of 16.5 knots and cruising speed of between 14 and 15 knots. She will also be capable of covering 5,000 nautical miles when traveling at 12 to 14 knots.

Who knows, we could get a Simply Custom with an infinity plunge pool next.
