Among the many cool charter yacht features I saw during the Caribbean boat shows this month was this swim platform onboard the 120-foot motoryacht Paladin, which is part of the fleet at Neptune Group Yachting (check out their new website, which is pretty darn cool itself).

The scoop from the boat show is that this swim platform–which has stairs that let you walk right into the water some two feet below the yacht’s waterline–was added in a refit at a cost of $900,000. I’ve never seen anything like it onboard any other charter yacht, of any size, anywhere.

Here are photos from both onboard the boat (looking down at the swim platform) and from on the swim platform itself, where I was about up to my knees in warm Caribbean water looking up at the yacht’s aft deck chairs. Boy, I can just imagine sitting there while in a bathing suit on charter, taking an occasional swim and then soaking up the sunshine:
