Each superyacht is unique, and so is her design and cruising experience she provides. Whether it’s a private or charter yacht, a superyacht aft deck is surely a crucial element of design. It serves to connect guests aboard with the outside marine world. World-renowned designers strive to create the most comfortable, spacious, luxurious and striking aft deck to achieve the ultimate. Here are some of the best superyachts and their cool aft decks.

Motor Yacht A | 119m | Blohm + Voss | 2009
Not many have seen close up shots of motor yacht A, neither know the exact details of her interior design. However, we all know that Motor Yacht A is a unique vessel, with a head-spinning exterior created by Philippe Starck. The futuristic, extraterrestrial, dazzling, beautiful or unusual (call it what want) exterior looks particularly interesting from the aft. Unlike other mega yachts, Blohm + Voss Motor Yacht A does not show off her sunbathing spaces, large swimming pools and alfresco dining areas. If you look at her sister ship Sailing Yacht A, it seems that their owner Andrey Melnichenko appreciates privacy.
