Yacht Thalassa Has a Beautiful Beach Club Befitting a Goddess

Considering that Thalasssa is a primordial deity of the sea, the yacht Thalassa couldn’t have a more appropriate name. Nor could her beach club be any more of an appropriate place to spend much of the day at anchor. In fact, Feadship, her builder, says it’s the largest and among the most complex beach clubs it has ever created.

The 262-footer (80-meter) is a strikingly sleek and lithe yacht, featuring exterior lines by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design. The experience that McKeon himself has in penning the lines of sailing superyachts carries over into the looks, too. Arguably, the first thing you notice about her profile is her extraordinarily long foredeck. Drawing onlookers’ eyes fore to aft and avoiding the “wedding cake look,” where decks stack sky high, creates strong appeal. Classic round ports characterize the lowest deck as well.

While the yacht Thalassa has plenty of alfresco and interior areas to spend time with family and friends, the beach club is unquestionably the pièce de resistance. It sits directly beneath the long swimming pool—with sunpads/seating, naturally—on the main aft deck. Since the pool also has a glass bottom, the beach club benefits from the resulting filtered natural light. A central, floating stairway leads guests from the aft deck down to the beach club, right beneath those glass panels. Once here, they’re in a sunken oasis of leisure and serenity. Expansive seating can nestle into each side of the sunken area, lending some coziness to the overall 1,776-square-foot (165-square-meter) space.

That space comes partly from the three opening sides, of course. Feadship and McKeon both say that the owner’s request was for massive doors—one being nearly the entire 43-foot (13-meter) beam. Designing them is one thing, but engineering them required extra structural force analysis. Computer simulations allowed the naval architecture and engineering teams to confirm the possibilities.

Since the yacht Thalassa is for sale, with delivery in time for the summer of 2026, new owners can outfit it as they see fit. The same is true for the rest of the decks. Create a family-focused, private oasis, or consider the opportunities in the charter market. Either way, that beach club is bound to be the talk of the town.
