The main view of the superyacht "Black Swan"
Mason did not even dream of owning his own super yacht.
Here his yacht was moored in full glory near the beach, where he found a treasure.
Control panel for the Captain and his crew .
Finding the lost gold, Parson became so fond of the sea that he mastered the skills of navigation and received a license for the role of captain.
Treasure
When Mason found the treasure he was surprised how much gold was there. He decided to leave some gold for the next lucky person.
For that he have hidden the treasure map in the same location on the beach where he have found it many years ago.
Bar-Buffet
Parson loved hiring a favorite comedian for his personal events to tell guests the fun stories of treasure hunts.
Karaoke Nightclub
Mason is celebrating his success with wild parties surrounded by famous celebrities and friends.
One of the many bedrooms
During his adventures, Mason found true love, and for him it was more important than all royal gold.
Notes: Control room and above it yacht steering wheel room made with dashboards for decorative purposes.
Ocean bottom is designed for decorative purposes and have some surfaces in brown colour what symbolise mud.
The narrow windows between bedrooms and ensuite are designed for decorative purposes to look a part from the outside.
The Black Swan is such a very nice yacht! @MyFavoritedesign The exterior design of the yacht looks so very nice! Very nice park/beach areas! The pink flamingos are a nice touch there. Very nice camping nook. Sims will enjoy sitting near the firepit toasting food and keeping warm. It is great that there is a tent there. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the yacht and the deck areas! It is a very detailed bulld! The design of the Control panel room looks creatively great! The treasure chest and gold area looks so very, very nice! You are so very creative! The positioning of the gold , coins and chest there looks so very nice! It is a special touch that it is under water. It is such a very detailed build! The colour schemes of the rooms look so very nice! There are many great feature areas on the yacht, both indoors and outside! The outdoors bar and buffet area looks very nice! Sims will enjoy siinging and dancuhf at the karaoke and bar nightclub! There are so many nice areas and features, so I am unable to write about tnem all.
The build is so very creatively designed , built and furnished!

Whew! I wasn't sure I was going to make it.
Function/questionable choices notes: "lounges" not functional though ottomans still act as seats. The chrome wall strip is uneven on both sides of the black portion of the boat since it wouldn't stay in place when downloaded if it crossed an interior wall intersection (sometimes!! Sometimes it did stay in place--the way it is set up now stays in place when downloaded). The short flag at the front of the ship is visible through the half-wall on the interior. I tried it 10 different ways and it's just thicker than the walls where they join. I liked it so much I kept there anyway. There is an underwater grass plant that sticks up through the surface of the water and I did that on purpose because sometimes seaweed reaches the surface. The plant pots are hidden by having them placed "in" rocks or ruins (and the room of ruins is unreachable since I only made it to give context to the oversized statue sticking up in the ruins area). The sea creatures are placed in an X pattern because they are two dimensional and would otherwise not be visible when viewed from the side. They are lit by deck lights hidden under rocks and the ocean floor is divided into "habitats" where the critter is matched with décor items I thought they went with. The vampire pack ivy needed to be placed back-to-back because it's not visible from the back. Lots of move objects for the lanterns on the dingy, under the umbrella, hanging from the decking, the strands of lights hanging from the decking next to the hot tub, and the clutter items inside the console table behind the sofa on the hot tub deck. The dinghy is not actually connected to the yacht because I wanted to give the sense of it being actually separate and because Sims still need to get to the island (though they could swim I doubt they'd be that ambitious), I included an ocean-colored strip of flooring between the dinghy and the yacht.
Castaway Cove was set up as a kind of museum to commemorate a man who was stranded on the island for a number of years and made his own little living space in a cave. It's since been used as a place to catch the latest indie music acts and use the bubble blower. People visiting the island from the yacht use a dinghy. The bottom level of the yacht includes crew quarters with their own beds, bath, lounge, and kitchen, and the engine room. The next level is the underwater dance and karaoke bar (the billionaire can afford special submarine glass to have windows under the level of the water), the movie room, a half-bath, and two bedrooms with baths. The sea level deck has two more bedrooms, the kitchen, dining area, life boats, mic for singers/comedians, access to swimming in the ocean. The second level deck has the captain's quarters and the bridge command area, musician performance space, a sectional sofa for enjoying the performers or TV, through a fold-away door the deck has lounge chairs and an umbrella. The deck in front of the command area has additional seating. The owner's deck includes the owners bed and bath with sun roof, a private deck where the owner can choose to meditate or do yoga in the fresh ocean breezes, a place to read and use the computer and a deck for enjoying the gaming table. The fourth floor deck include the hot tub (also under a glass roof) and more relaxing areas facing the bow of the ship. The fifth floor is for the necessities of ship life like radar and communication (the lantern light is meant to be a satellite or cell phone tower and that's why it's turned off). The lights on the front of the yacht are green and red to indicate port and starboard for other vessels nearby. I had a lot of fun decorating the ocean floor. I felt like I was making a diorama!

Yacht at Castaway Cove is such a very creatively nice build! @withlovejulien It was great reading the background details to the build! The exterior design of the yacht looks so very nice! The underwater karaoke and dance bar looks great! Very nice purple and black colour scheme of the room! The dance floor area is great! Sims will enjoy dancing to the music, have fun karaokeing, and enjoy sitting at the tables watching on whilst having a drink from the bar. The decorating of the underwater sea level looks very great! Very nice outdoors areas! The land area with the bonfire and rock waterfall feature looks very nice!
It is a very detailed and creatively designed build!
Wow @MyFavoritedesign that looks amazing I love the beach and the treasure very creative. Fantastic color schemes and furnishings through out the yacht I cant wait to explore this one in game.
@withlovejulien fantastic yacht, love the design and especially the back of the yacht, those underwater pics are creepy haha
@phantasmkiss I love how you used the roofing for that great sweeping affect at the back of the boat! Creative way to make your own karaoke station! Awesome! And an incredible dining room with all of those Sims being able to sit and eat at the same time!
@Liziann1 Very huge! You were able to fit in so many activities! The game room looks fun with the bowling alley. Great roofing and deck areas. Fun white exterior finish!
@Ainsleyf Amazing boardwalk/dock area. Love the strings of lights. You did an engine room, too! Yours looks awesome. Love the copper color choice! The oversized coffee table looks so sleek--just like the roofs used to make that great front wedge shape. I love the cabinet behind a half-wall.
@popettypop2012 The flags! Inspired! Love the parking lot with cars and fence. Love the pattern of the dance floor and your floor covering covering goes with the windows! Elegant rooms!
@RivendellStar Love how the stairs in the front give that wedge shape. Very elegant lounge area! I love those chairs! The shelf reversed looks great! wonderful rooms!
@MyFavoritedesign Love the little islands around the yacht and the yacht itself looks fabulous! Love the angled shapes! Love the initials in the pool
Thanks, @Cbear13! This was a lot of fun and a really great challenge idea to do something different!
I just updated my entry with a couple of other notes and a link to more images. Imgur is acting stupid with Microsoft edge these days.
@rosemow Thank you! I think the sims will enjoy it!
@ainsleyf I'm glad you like the underwater parts! I was like: Is this going to work? Is it going to look really dumb? And then: Hey! It does kind of work!
@RivendellStar I have to admit that I was tickled at making the underground music scene literally underground!
Holy plumbob! These yachts are amazing! You all did such an amazing job! I will be having a look at the in game soon and maybe one day I will finish my own and share it here when I do haha!
