There was a time when the ultimate onboard flex was a gleaming tender and a jet ski or two. These days, yacht toys have evolved — and the new generation of gear is smarter, sleeker, and designed to make your time on the water unforgettable.
Whether it’s diving deeper, filming higher, or cruising quieter, the latest innovations blend luxury with adventure. Two brands are leading the way: Scorkl, an Australian company reinventing how we breathe underwater, and SwellPro, creators of the world’s first truly waterproof drone.
Together, they’re redefining what it means to play at sea.
Dive Differently with Scorkl — Freedom in a Cylinder
Scorkl might be one of the coolest things to happen to yachting in years. Founded in Australia, the brand developed a portable, refillable mini dive system that lets anyone explore beneath the surface — no bulky tanks, no certification required, and no setup hassle.
Think of it as freedom in a sleek aluminum cylinder: a handheld breathing system that delivers up to 10 minutes of underwater air, easily refillable with a Scorkl pump or from a standard scuba compressor.
For yacht owners and guests, it’s the perfect blend of spontaneity and safety. You can jump in to check an anchor, retrieve a dropped item, or simply explore a nearby reef — all without gearing up like a pro diver. The compact design fits neatly in any tender locker, and its quick-connect system means you can go from deck to dive in seconds.
It’s no wonder Scorkl has been turning heads in marinas from Sydney to Saint-Tropez.
“Scorkl gives everyone the freedom to explore underwater — safely and simply,” says founder David Hall. “It’s diving made accessible.”

Pair a few Scorkls with your Waydoo e-foils and /or Subnado underwater jets, and your swim platform instantly becomes a mini adventure hub. Guests can glide silently over the surface, dive beneath it, and explore like seasoned pros — all without cumbersome scuba gear or setup time.
Capture the Moment: SwellPro’s Waterproof Drones Take Flight
If Scorkl lets you explore below, SwellPro lets you capture it all from above — even in conditions that would send most drones home.
The SwellPro Fisherman FD1+, built by the pioneering team in Shenzhen, is the first fully waterproof drone built for marine environments. Designed to take off and land on water, it’s a serious upgrade from your average camera drone.

With a 4K gimbal-stabilized camera, GPS auto-follow, and real-time video feed, it’s perfect for yacht owners who want to document their cruising life from a new angle — literally. Want to capture your yacht at anchor with the sun setting behind it? Easy. Need an overhead shot of guests paddleboarding or diving? Done.
Even better, SwellPro’s drones can handle salt spray, rain, and even a quick dunk. And for the more adventurous, optional payload attachments let you drop a fishing line or deliver a message to another boat (yes, really).
It’s technology that doesn’t just complement yachting — it’s built for it.
Yachting has always been about freedom — the freedom to explore, to escape, to enjoy. These new innovations just make that freedom more accessible, more exciting, and infinitely more fun.
So next time you’re provisioning for a charter or upgrading your onboard gear, think beyond paddleboards and towables. Add a Scorkl dive system and a SwellPro waterproof drone, and turn your yacht day into something extraordinary.
Because the best luxury is the kind that lets you play.
