Submersibles have been a feature on board many exploration yachts for a few years, but the experts in the submarine and submersible world have created some incredible new models for 2022. For those seeking to brave the deep while cruising on a smaller superyacht, U-Boat Worx has launched the second model in their NEMO range, the NEMO 2, which is designed specifically for smaller superyacht use.

This compact two-seater is only slightly heavier than the NEMO 1 (the lightest and most compact submarine in the world to date), and fits into a storage space approximately the size of two jetskis, making it accessible to most smaller superyachts around. Cruising at speeds of up to three knots and reaching a depth of up to 100m (330ft), the NEMO 2 offers everything a superyacht guest needs in order to discover the rich marine life that lies beneath in air-conditioned comfort, and without even getting wet.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale Triton Submarines has revealed two exciting additions to their fleet, the Triton 660/9 and 660/7 AVA. These much larger submersibles can either transport six or eight passengers, plus pilot, in an expansive, flexible space that can easily be re-configured for any number of activities.

Think cocktails at 200m (660ft) below sea level, dinner followed by a movie night beneath the surface, or an early morning yoga session surrounded by an audience of fish – the possibilities here are as endless as your imagination. Says Triton Co-Founder and President Patrick Lahey, 'Both Triton models are a complete departure from conventional thinking and another great example of a revolutionary design re-imagined.' 

Learn the ropes with the latest inflatable sailing dinghy from Tiwal. Powered by the wind and your own energy, the Tiwal 2L is easy to set up and use, responsive, stable, and comfortable in light winds. Ideal for both children and adults, this dinghy has the capacity for either two adults, or one adult and two children to learn together. 

'Very stable, the Tiwal 2L is quick for beginners to learn how to use. The inflatable wings allow for a comfortable and reassuring introduction to the sport of sailing, while more experienced sailors will also appreciate the boat’s responsiveness and its playful side in higher winds,' explains Marion Excoffon, Tiwal's designer and co-founder.

If the idea of a paddleboard seems too sedate, then why not try out the latest electric hydrofoil surfboard from Lift Foil. Perfect for those who like to surf but find themselves in calm waters better suited to superyachts, the new LIFT3F allows riders to glide through any metre deep body of water at speeds of up to 26 knots (30mph).

The LIFT3 F features a proprietary fibreglass board of 1.5m or 1.6m (4ft 9in or 5ft 4in) crafted by Lift’s engineers, and a carbon fibre mast, motor housing and foil package. Its updated ergonomic design increases aerodynamics and manoeuvrability, but still offers a stable ride for all levels of rider.

The X-Sport is the sportiest, most durable jet board to come from the leading electric surfboard experts Radinn and comes ready for all manner of adventures with its durable, lightweight XDL Tech hull technology.

Spanning just over 1.9m (6ft) in length, it features a quad fin setup making it more stable on the water. Propelling riders to speeds of up to 27mph (or 35mph for the pro version), the X-Sport guarantees fun on the waves for both balance-challenged beginners and experienced riders who want to get radical.

Explore your underwater surroundings in style using SeaBob’s new Black Line Design Edition. First pick your preferred SEABOB model in one of three high gloss colourways – blue, orange and green. Our personal favourite is the emission-free F5 SR SEABOB, which features an electric stream power system allowing for speeds of up to 14 miles per hour at full bore (if you can hang on).

Now you can take your diving or snorkelling experience to the next level, with seven gears and a sport fin to increase manoeuvrability, and two integrated HD cameras to capture the ride and what you are seeing so you can show your friends later.

With a wide range of inflatable toys available ranging from floating islands and slides, climbing walls and even entire water parks, the latest offerings from the leading inflatables companies are simply out of this world and will blow your children’s little minds.

For 2022 Aquaglide has introduced a number of additions to their extensive playground collection, including models like the Thor and the Double Icecap. The Thor features chute slides and jumping platforms, while the Double Icecap is double the fun of the Universal Icecap – making it ideal for the centre of any waterpark set up or as a standalone toy.

If all the jumping around and climbing sounds too exhausting, then why not lie back and relax on FunAir’s Floating Shaded Island. Ramping up the relaxation factor, this six-person inflatable island set-up includes three free-floating loungers attached to a triangular lounger hub with a built-in netted pool.

'Superyacht owners love the flexibility of our modular beach furniture products,' says FunAir’s Managing Director John Courtney. 'The Floating Shaded Island takes this concept to the next level. You can use the double shaded lounger on the beach, in the shallows, on the deck, or tethered from the swim platform out at anchor. You can even connect three loungers together to max out group relaxation.'
