Serenity Yacht

Design & Construction

Designed around a semi-displacement GRP hull and superstructure she features a 26'6" beam and a 7'6" draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 363 GT (Gross Tonnes).

This was the sixth yacht built in the series. Launched in May 2016 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in October 2016.

Exterior Design

Serenity's cockpit is equipped with a sophisticated bar area, featuring a blue-lit bar top and an intriguing broken glass design. LED lighting enhances the ambience, especially after dusk. The bar is strategically positioned to offer panoramic views of the surrounding vistas when seated, enhancing the alfresco dining experience for up to ten guests.

Safety and ease of movement are evident in the wide, teak-lined walkways with high railings and gray caulking. Serenity features ample storage, including various lockers for supplies. The exterior doors contribute to the yacht's aesthetic appeal while also serving practical purposes, with weather-tight access to the pilot house and balcony-style wing stations that facilitate docking maneuvers.

The foredeck is a hive of activity, designed to store jet skis and a smaller Williams jet tender, with robust cleats and ground tackle to secure the vessel. The bulwarks are notably high, contributing to the sense of security on deck. An array of storage compartments are conveniently located just a few steps up, with versatility in mind, as the sunbathing area can be adapted to various configurations.

Serenity's pilot house is shaded by tinted windows, which reduce solar heat gain and maintain cooler interior temperatures. The yacht's outdoor lines are visually appealing, further accentuated by LED illumination that lends a distinct character at night.

Ascending to the dining deck, guests are greeted by a round table with integrated LED lighting, set beneath a skylight that offers a view of the sky above. The furniture here, like elsewhere on the yacht, is not fixed and can be rearranged to suit different entertainment needs. A small bar area, complete with a refrigerator and ice maker, is also present for convenience.

The sundeck is highlighted by an infinity hot tub that merges into the surrounding space, creating a unified wet area that can be enjoyed as a plunge pool. The sensation is amplified by water cascading over the edge, visible from below. A comprehensive bar wraps around this space, equipped with bar stools, cup holders, a drink fridge, and an ice maker for hosting a large number of guests. A substantial barbecue and deep storage compartments add to the functionality of the area.

Comfortable seating options abound, with movable chairs that can be adjusted on their tracks to accommodate various social settings. The sundeck also boasts a pop-up flybridge helm station with all necessary controls and excellent visibility, further enhanced by an elevator that provides convenient access to this uppermost deck. The sundeck's day head is noteworthy for its inclusion of a rain shower.

Interior Design

The interior design of Serenity is characterized by its modern boutique hotel aesthetic, with a focus on high-quality finishes and functional elegance. 

In terms of materials, the use of Italian marble stands out, especially in areas like the VIP stateroom heads, where the stone's luxurious quality elevates the space. The marble showers feature dual vanities with illuminated mirrors, highlighting the attention to detail in design and functionality. The woodwork throughout Serenity is notable for its craftsmanship, with bespoke built-in furniture pieces that offer both style and storage solutions. Indirect lighting is strategically implemented, enhancing the wood's natural beauty and contributing to the ambiance of each room.

The dining areas are served by a full bar that is designed to be a central feature, providing a social hub for guests. This bar, situated for easy service to both the dining and salon areas, is well equipped with drink fridges and ice makers, ensuring that guests' needs are met with efficiency and style.

The main salon is an inviting space, marked by its unique furniture shapes and thoughtful color choices. A large fireplace and an expansive TV create a focal point, while the addition of an interior balcony allows guests to enjoy views of their surroundings in a sheltered, comfortable setting. The salon also boasts a professional-grade roulette table, offering an entertainment option for those inclined.

At the helm, the pilot house is decked out in a serious black theme that underscores the yacht's navigational capabilities. The carbon fiber helm wheel is a nod to modern technology, though the bridge is also equipped with joysticks for precision control. Ample storage for charts and navigational tools is provided, ensuring that everything the crew needs is within reach.

The galley is a blend of commercial-grade functionality and home-style comfort. High-quality appliances, including Miele units, are standard here. The layout is practical, with easy access for provisioning through a side door. The countertops are designed to withstand the rigors of meal preparation at sea. An innovative feature of the galley is its direct access to the master stateroom, allowing for private, late-night access to snacks or beverages without disturbing other areas of the yacht.

Accommodation

Serenity hosts up to twelve guests within its six well-appointed staterooms, each crafted with a unique blend of functional elegance and contemporary design. The VIP cabins, including the first VIP, are spacious and exude a homely warmth, featuring ample storage elegantly concealed for a clutter-free environment. Italian marble graces the en-suite facilities, which include illuminated dual vanities, separate heads with doors, and luxurious marble-clad showers.

The owner suite is a sanctuary of its own, offering a secluded retreat with direct access to the galley for discreet service. This suite is characterized by its sophisticated woodwork, indirect lighting, and the luxury of dual balconies, providing private outdoor space to enjoy the ocean's breeze. The balconies are automated, enhancing the ease of use. The suite's en-suite boasts both his and hers sections, complete with backlit vanities, extensive wardrobe space, and a sizable shower with dual access. 

Each additional guest cabin aboard Serenity is finished with the same attention to detail, offering configurations that range from king-size beds to versatile arrangements suitable for families. These staterooms are equipped with drop-down TVs, en-suite bathrooms with unique vanities, and showers that cater to both individual preferences and family needs. The use of fabric on the walls and expertly constructed furniture contributes to the overall ambiance of quiet luxury and comfort.

Serenity also provides ample and well-designed quarters for the crew of up to seven, ensuring that the high standards of guest service are upheld throughout each voyage. The crew quarters include a generous mess area, en-suite cabins, and substantial storage facilities, all of which are finished to the same high standards found throughout the yacht.
