A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck presents a captivating space for open-air living. Beneath the warmth of the Caribbean sun, enjoy leisurely breakfasts or twilight cocktails. The outdoor bar, equipped with an ice maker, ensures refreshments are always at hand. Settle into the plush seating, the gentle swell a rhythmic accompaniment to conversation, as the horizon stretches endlessly before you.
Foredeck Sanctuary
Discover a tranquil retreat on the foredeck. Here, generous sun pads invite languid afternoons spent basking in the sun's embrace, a gentle sea breeze offering a welcome coolness. The bow thruster's quiet hum is the only reminder of the vessel's capability, as you lose yourself in a book or simply watch the turquoise waters glide by. This secluded spot is perfect for peaceful contemplation.
Saloon Serenity
Step into the main saloon, a bright and inviting haven. Large windows frame panoramic views, connecting you with the surrounding seascape even when indoors. The indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen soundtrack, while the primary TV offers entertainment for quieter moments. Plush seating arrangements create an atmosphere of relaxed elegance, ideal for intimate gatherings or simply unwinding after a day of exploration.
Hydraulic Swim Platform
The hydraulic swim platform is your effortless gateway to the azure waters. Lowering smoothly, it creates an expansive beach club at sea level, perfect for easy access for swimming or launching the array of water toys. The outdoor shower ensures a refreshing rinse after a dip, while a beach umbrella offers welcome shade, transforming this area into a private oasis.
Culinary Corner
The well-appointed galley and adjacent dining area are where culinary artistry comes to life. With a coffee machine brewing aromatic blends each morning and a BBQ on deck for grilled delights, every meal is an event. The crew are adept at catering to special dietary requirements, ensuring each dish is a personalised delight, savoured within the comfort of your private charter.
Accommodation
SERENA welcomes five guests in three beautifully appointed cabins, each a private sanctuary. The master cabin, featuring its own television, offers a peaceful retreat with ample storage and an ensuite. Two additional guest cabins provide comfortable berths, all thoughtfully designed to maximise space and natural light. Fine linens and soft textures create an inviting atmosphere, ensuring restful nights after days filled with Caribbean adventures. The layout provides a sense of privacy and comfort for all aboard, making it an ideal choice for families or close friends.
Culinary journeys aboard SERENA are a celebration of fresh, local flavours, tailored to your preferences. The chef crafts bespoke menus, accommodating all dietary needs and desires, from light, vibrant lunches al fresco on the aft deck to sophisticated evening meals in the saloon. With a BBQ on deck, enjoy sizzling grilled seafood under the stars, perfectly complemented by a selection of fine beverages. Every meal is an opportunity to savour the moment, enhanced by the stunning Caribbean backdrop.
While SERENA doesn't feature a dedicated spa, the yacht itself promotes a profound sense of wellbeing. The hydraulic swim platform offers easy access for invigorating swims, and the expansive deck spaces, particularly the foredeck sun pads, are perfect for sunbathing and quiet reflection. The gentle rocking of the yacht and the constant sea breeze create a naturally calming environment, fostering relaxation and rejuvenation throughout your charter.
Dive into the Caribbean's embrace with SERENA's extensive collection of water toys. From exhilarating adult and child water skis to paddleboards and kayaks for serene exploration, there's an activity for every inclination. The inflatable jet ski dock provides a stable base for launching the dinghy, while a drone captures your aquatic adventures from above. For the keen angler, both big game and light fishing gear are readily available, promising exciting catches.

SERENA: your questions, answered
The most common questions we receive about chartering SERENA. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.
What a yacht like SERENA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SERENA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 19m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
