First, let me just say thank you to everyone who has chartered with us since we took possession of SERENITY in January 2017. We have had several good seasons and we are greatly appreciative. When COVID came on the scene in 2020 we took the opportunity to haul Serenity out and make a few improvements. Many are visible while others are not. Serenity's improvements were completed in several areas to include her hatches, sail plan, running and standing rigging, ground tackle and windlass, solar power, batteries, new engines and generator, dive deck, air compressor, electrical, plumbing, and many others. Outlined below is a snapshot of her features. We look forward to welcoming you aboard for a charter or charter/diving adventure!
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” – William Arthur Ward
For years, the VOYAGE 500 was featured as the most popular luxury cruising charter catamaran, and was acknowledged by the Industry world wide as one of the most successful catamarans in service. Not only for charters but for world cruising. The wide beam offers stability, comfort and exceptional interior space, while slender hull shape allows for an outstanding sailing experience.
