The Yacht Pool is the latest design in the Compass Pools range of one-piece in-ground swimming pools. The Yacht Pool features some very obvious nautical styling cues, from the teak decking surrounding the integral hydrotherapy hot tub, to the polished steel handrails adorning each side of the stylised bow.
