Every spring, the charter industry yacht owners gear up for the Mediterranean yacht charter summer season. They have their crews spruce up the yachts in multiple ways. For instance, fresh paint, new linens and fabrics, and most importantly: new watertoys.
TOY COMPETITION
The competition between watertoy manufacturers is stiff. All battle to come up with the newest unique aquatoy.
RECENT TOYS
Last year, the must have toy was the Water Slide. More than 100 megayachts commissioning the toy in just one season.
THIS YEAR’S TOY
Summer is just around the corner. Industry insiders think the next “must-have” watertoy just might be an inflatable “Climbing Wall.”
CLIMBING WALL DETAILS
James Econs from Eco Yacht Toys says,
“The Climbing Wall really could be the client request for 2013/14 and the interest in it, even in these last ten days, has blown us away. We hope to have a few climbing walls on yachts before summer really kicks in – and they’ll all be the talking point of the bay.”
“In our superyacht industry, the more high-tech gadgets and premium toys you have onboard, the greater your odds are to secure charters from repeat clients,” explains Sheeder. “Many clients will return each season to the comfortable surroundings of the same destination, but they will expect the yacht they choose to provide fresh entertainment options with each new charter.”
GREEN YACHTS
The climbing wall is the world’s first inflatable exercise wall. It is designed by professional rock climbers, and built by Green Yachts. It has three different routes. These have three different color schemes. Each represents a different level of difficulty. First, green for novice climbers. Second, yellow for intermediate climbers. Third, red for advanced climbers seeking a challenging and tricky ascent.

PRICE OF WATERTOY
Introductory prices for the inflatable climbing wall start at 14,495 Euros.
