Up and down the Florida coast, the yacht owner's brief has changed. Where the beach club platform once anchored a build's second deck, naval architects are hearing a different ask: room to move. Gyms, training spaces, and recovery areas are edging into layouts once reserved for loungers and sun pads, a shift toward staying active on board rather than simply staying still. It says something about where the American yachting world's appetite is headed.
