SERENİSSİMA 36

A 24-metre motor yacht working the Aegean with eight guests aboard and a crew of four. Built in 2002 and fully refitted in 2022, it keeps the proportions of its generation — long teak side decks, a full flybridge, a planing hull — rather than the volume-driven layout of newer boats.

The aft deck is arranged around an oval table with six wicker chairs, set just outside the sliding glass door to the saloon, with the staircase to the flybridge alongside. Above, a bimini shades a circular sunpad, a dining table with wraparound seating, a bar cabinet and the upper helm. Inside, pale oak panelling and full-height windows run the length of the saloon; a single L-shaped sofa faces the television unit, and the dining table a few steps forward is laid for eight. Four cabins lie below: two doubles and two twins, finished in the same light timber. A further sunpad sits on the foredeck.

At the stern, the garage opens onto a swim platform that carries an inflatable slide, a jet ski, a Seabob, water skis and a floating dock laid out alongside. Cushions and a parasol turn the same space into a place to sit once the toys are stowed. Well suited to families and groups of friends spending a week among the Aegean bays.
