SERENİSSİMA 8

A three-cabin flybridge motor yacht working the Aegean coast out of Göcek. She measures 17.6 metres, was built in 2000 and refitted in 2020, and cruises at 28 knots on twin engines of 600 hp each, with 33 knots in reserve. Six guests sleep aboard.

The aft deck carries a round table for six with folding wooden chairs and an upholstered bench following the transom, opening straight onto the bathing platform and passerelle. Sliding glass doors lead into the saloon, laid out in two halves: a curved white leather settee with a low cherrywood table on one side, a dining table on the other. Forward of these sit the open galley with its gas hob and cherrywood lockers, the television unit and the inside helm. The flybridge holds a second helm, a long bench, a side table and a bimini; sheer curtains close it in after dark. A separate sunpad with its own awning takes up the foredeck. Below deck are a master cabin with overhead hatch and television, two twin cabins and two heads.

The layout works for a family of six or two to three couples, on trips where meals happen outdoors and most of the day is spent between the flybridge and the bow.
