Choose the perfect option for you

Centro Italia Yachting®, a leading company in the construction of onboard swimming pools and custom whirlpools for yachts and ships, designs and installs both freshwater (chlorinated) and saltwater systems — offering clients a refined alternative to traditional chlorine-only pools. Each pool can be easily converted into a saltwater system, either during the design phase or as an upgrade to an existing structure.

Even if the yacht is not equipped with dedicated seawater piping, our technicians can install a salt system that transforms freshwater into saltwater with a precisely controlled salinity level (for example, 6%). This ensures that every pool or tub can enjoy the benefits of saltwater — smoother feel, easier maintenance, and reduced environmental impact — without invasive modifications to the vessel.

The advantages of saltwater pools on yachts

Salt is not only an effective natural sterilizing agent, but it also offers numerous advantages that make it an increasingly popular choice for onboard pools. Saltwater is gentler on the body, leaving the skin smoother, free from the strong smell of chlorine, and reducing the risk of irritation or nausea — issues that can occur when chlorine levels are too high, especially for children.

Moreover, saltwater pools have a significantly lower environmental impact. The discharge of salt-treated water is far less harmful than chlorine-based waste, and the handling of salt is considerably safer and easier than managing chlorine chemicals.

Every system installed on board is fully tailored to the owner’s needs and to the dimensions of the whirlpool or pool. Our comprehensive services include:
