You may enjoy swimming and boating, but you might not enjoy bites and stings--enter the Magic Swim inflatable pool. By simply attaching this kiddy contraption to the end of your yacht, you can swim to your heart's content without the nagging worry that something might eat you at sea.
Designed by naval engineer Paolino Napolitano, the Magic Swim is made from PVC and mesh (to allow the water in) and can be easily set up with the help of a standard air compressor. The only issue I see is that it may cost more than the boat at $2,250-2,440 a pop.
