Her Zuretti-styled interior provides accommodation for up to 11 guests across three double staterooms and two twin cabins, one with a pullman berth.
Inside the yacht, SERENO effortlessly combines timeless Italian design with contemporary comfort. The main saloon offers a spacious lounge, bar and dining area, with panoramic large windows flooding the space with natural light. The full-beam master suite is located on the upper deck, complete with an owner's dressing room along with a separate his-and-hers bathrooms connected by a shared shower. The lower deck houses two VIP staterooms and two twin cabins, all of which are en suite and finished to the same high standards.
On deck, guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor spaces. The sundeck features a central Jacuzzi, large sunpads, and multiple seating areas for relaxation, light bites, and drinks. A newly fitted Bimini hard top, with retractable centre, provides shade during the day, or allows star gazing at night, while a drop-down screen and projector create the perfect setup for outdoor movies. When not on the sundeck, guests can dine and relax on either the main or upper deck both feature dedicated dining spaces towards the aft.
SERENO is equipped for adventure with one of the most impressive selections of water toys for a yacht of her size. Two Sea-Doo jet skis, two Seabobs, and an eFoil board provide high-energy fun, while wakeboards, waterskis, and towables add to the thrill. A floating golf setup and inflatable slide from the sundeck offer unique entertainment, and the inflatable swim platform ensures easy access to the water. The 11.8m Intrepid chase tender provides seamless shore excursions and towable toy enjoyment.
SERENO and her crew look forward to welcoming you onboard.
