7 - U-Boat Worx NEMO, discover the ocean floor
When you're anchored in a dream setting, the temptation to see what's going on underwater is real. What better way to do so than with the U-Boat Worx NEMO, a pocket-sized submarine for two. Extremely compact, the Nemo weighs just 2500 kg, making it easily maneuverable by most yacht cranes. Capable of carrying two people, it can dive to a depth of 100 meters, travels at 3 knots and has a range of up to 8 hours, which isn't bad at all. Anyone can take a seat next to the pilot without any special qualifications. The large front bubble provides an unobstructed view of the marine environment. Once back on board, it takes up less space than two Jet-skis. Another interesting feature is that Nemo is a production submarine, meaning that it is available at short notice, and all for just over ?1,250,000.

8 - Bell 505 Jet Ranger X, a land-going helicopter
If using a dinghy to get on board seems a bit slow and boring, opt for a helicopter. An increasing number of yachts feature a helicopter landing pad.

The 505 Jet Ranger X is a lightweight helicopter offering speed and maneuverability well suited to narrow landing zones. It features a cockpit with optimum visibility and a Garmin G1000H avionics suite with two 10.4" LCD displays, making piloting pleasant and safe. The Italian-style cabin can accommodate up to four passengers in style. A large, rectangular luggage compartment accommodates all your luggage. Its 505 hp engine gives it a cruising speed of 231 km/h and a range of 566 km. All this for around $1 million (cheaper than a submarine).
