The beach club platform, long yachting's stand-in for a resort pool deck, is losing ground to treadmills and training space. Builders say today's owners are asking for vessels arranged around staying active rather than lounging through a cruise. It marks a real shift in what a yacht is expected to offer its owner day to day. From Miami to Palm Beach, where marinas anchor much of America's boating culture, it's a design trend worth watching as new builds take shape.
