SERENITY II

Serenity II is a 40-metre steel-hulled displacement motor yacht built by Turkish yard Mengi Yay in 2010 and completed with a comprehensive refit in 2024, sailing under the Maltese flag. The refit places her among the more recently refreshed vessels in her size bracket, a meaningful signal of active ownership and sustained investment in her condition.

Configured for twelve guests across six cabins with nine crew, Serenity II carries a crew-to-guest ratio that supports attentive, personalised service throughout. She operates in Greece, making her well suited to extended Aegean and Ionian itineraries where a displacement hull and stabilisation both underway and at anchor translate directly into guest comfort. She is a natural fit for families, multi-generational groups, or close circles of friends seeking a structured, well-crewed experience in established Mediterranean cruising grounds. She is less suited to guests looking for high-speed transits, experimental itineraries, or a minimalist, liveaboard-style charter.

As a steel displacement yacht, Serenity II is built for substance and sea-keeping rather than pace. Her hull form prioritises stability and range over sprinting between anchorages, and the presence of both underway and at-anchor stabilisers means the onboard experience remains settled whether she is making way or sitting in an exposed bay. Among charter yachts of comparable length from the same era, this dual stabilisation setup is a genuinely practical advantage rather than a marketing footnote.

Life aboard Serenity II is oriented around outdoor activity and water access. A comprehensive range of water toys — including waverunners, wakeboard, water skis, and a three-person kneeboard alongside kayaks and snorkelling equipment — means the yacht functions as a capable water sports platform, while fishing equipment adds flexibility for guests with that preference. Two tenders, a 5.8-metre and a 4.2-metre, give the crew genuine operational range for shore excursions and water sports coordination simultaneously. The deck jacuzzi and onboard gym extend the onboard offering for guests who prefer to remain with the yacht, and the air conditioning throughout ensures comfort during the warmer months of the Greek cruising season.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
