The present invention relates to a pleasure craft (1), and more particularly to a luxury pleasure craft, such as a yacht. The craft (1) according to the invention comprises a hull (3), a deck (5) and a superstructure (7) arranged on said deck in an asymmetrical position with respect to the symmetry plane (L) of the craft, thus leaving a free lateral passageway (9) on said deck. In order to provide the craft with a substantially symmetrical aerodynamic profile and to hide the asymmetrical arrangement of said superstructure (7), the craft (1) according to the invention comprises at least one bulkhead (11) which is arranged and sized so that the craft offers to the air and to the eye of an observer a symmetrical and substantially continuous front surface in the navigation direction. Thanks to the invention, all the practical advantages deriving from the asymmetrical arrangement of the superstructure (7) can be fully exploited, while maintaining a good directional stability and a pleasant and prestige appearance.
