More Than Just a Toybox
A great set of toys gets people off the sun loungers and into the water to make memories that will last a lifetime, and maybe even spark a lifelong hobby or passion. For families, water toys are absolute game changers. Happy kids = happy, relaxed parents. A yacht charter provides a high-end service with a dizzying array of activities adding rich layers to any holiday experience. The setup is designed for zero effort, with everything arranged for guests, from jet skis and diving equipment to veritable floating theme parks, and the key? Fully trained, expert and fun staff to run it all.
Modern charter clients are looking for more than jet skis and wakeboards (though those still have their place). What’s trending now includes:
- Electric & eco-friendly toys (think e-foils and battery-powered Seabobs)
- Fitness at sea (SUP yoga, on-deck resistance systems)
- Custom inflatables (slides, pools, even floating trampolines)
- Adventure gear (dive compressors, spearfishing setups, underwater drones)
As guest demand evolves, so too does the innovation on board. Here’s how three Y.CO yachts are leading the charge.
DYNA®: THE TOY BOX HAS NO LIMITS
A brand-new 49.9m Benetti launched in 2024, Dyna® is built for guests who play hard and rest well. With a 12.5m chase boat aptly named the Novamarine Black Shiver leading the charge, her toy collection is nothing short of relentless.
On board highlights:
- 2 x 2024 Sea-Doo Spark TRX jet skis for high-speed coastal carving
- 3 x Seabobs F5 for silent, effortless underwater flight
- 3 x Fliteboard electric hydrofoils — the future of wave-riding
- Flyboard for aerial thrills straight off the platform
- Inflatable water platform with climbing frame, slide and toy docking
- Wakeboards, waterskis and towables for fast-tow fun
- Paddle boards and kayaks for wind-down moments between the action
- Snorkelling gear, beach tennis, cricket, golf and football — because the fun doesn't stop at the waterline
- Full Technogym fitness suite, Pilates, boxing and a spa with sauna for recovery done right
Now available for charter, Dyna® is ready to show you real fun.
“Guests love the variety on Dyna®. There’s always something new to try, whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a first-timer.”

BOLD: THE EXPLORER THAT NEVER STANDS STILL

Trends That Are Changing the Game
How guests use toys and tech is evolving:
1
Personalisation is everything
Y.CO crews tailor the toy experience to guest preference. Want to learn how to foil? Need the perfect snorkel spot for the kids? Crews are trained to guide and adapt.
2
Sustainability Matters
Battery-powered toys like Seabobs and Fliteboards are rising in popularity – quieter, cleaner, and better for the reefs.
3
Toys as Wellness Tools
SUP yoga, paddle races, cold plunges off the swim platform – guests are using toys for fitness, mindfulness, and movement.
4
Multi-gen Charter
Playtime is for the young and the young at heart. Grandparents want to paddleboard. Teens want adrenaline. Y.CO curates for all ages, adventure and ability levels.
Curated Adventure, The Y.CO Way
At Y.CO, we know toys are entertainment, yes, but they’re also a gateway to transformation, connection and discovery. Whether it’s a quiet paddle at dawn, a mid-ocean zip on a wakeboard, or the thrill of learning to dive for the first time, toys unlock a deeper kind of luxury: freedom.
We work closely with yacht owners and crew to ensure every charter is equipped with the right gear for the right guest. That means hands-on planning, top-tier equipment, and crew who know how to coach, guide, and have fun with you.
