Serenity Yachts in Antalya, Turkey, just unveiled their new 72 Power Catamaran, a luxurious blue-water cruiser that gives an owner lots of options for a custom interior.
The basic Serenity 72 has five cabins for ten guests and two cabins for two or three crew. But that’s just a start; there can be more, or fewer. Either way, the basic choice is whether to place the master stateroom forward on the main deck salon, or below where it would occupy the entire port hull.
If it’s in the salon, the owners would have 180-degree views and direct access to the foredeck and its wide, expansive lounging space. If it’s below, it would include a study, a walk-in wardrobe and a private lounge.
The interior and exterior of the Serenity were developed by Darnet Design, the French design house that’s won a lot of superyacht design awards. Franck Darnet, the managing director of his namesake firm, said the new 72 “brings much more volume and space for a much-decreased fuel consumption, and it’s more comfortable both at sea and at anchor.”
Powered by twin 750-hp John Deeres, the big cat will have a cruising speed of 17 knots, a top speed of 21 knots, and a range of 3,000 nm at lower speeds. It has an aluminum hull and composite superstructure.
The salon has an interior dining space and U-shaped seating areas. The flybridge has a Jacuzzi, sun beds, a bar and dining areas. The cockpit aft is another dining and lounging area. The swim platform is hydraulic, and can be lowered to water level.
The yacht can operate for up to ten hours from energy collected from solar panels, without turning on the generators.
The new 72 could be delivered to new owners next year. Base price is $4,130,000.
Serenity has offices in Winter Park, Florida.
