05Build experience is not particularly immersive
06No storage or container inside the boat for the accessories and diving paraphernalia
07Missing a trans-clear stand for the saw fish

What reviewers are saying

"This set is much better as expected."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"60221 Diving Yacht is one of the year's new LEGO City sets building a sleek blue and white yacht along with a small underwater scene."

Ecosystem

Dockside Fire — This set is much better. It's sold for the exact same price ($20), but offers so much more: significantly larger boat hull, more accessories, large animals (expensive pieces), better design, and superior overall value.

60176 Wild River Escape — 60221 Diving Yacht is positioned as a larger, more recent LEGO City boat option compared to the smaller 60176 Wild River Escape set released over a year prior.
