Perfect for couples and families. The Serenita is an excellent choice if you're looking for a modern, comfortable catamaran that doesn't compromise on space or amenities. With three cabins and six berths, it works brilliantly for two couples or a small family wanting to explore without feeling cramped.

Standout features shine. This 2023 build ticks nearly every box: solar panels and a generator mean you're self-sufficient for power, while air conditioning and heating keep you comfortable in any season. The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and electric winches signal a yacht that's been thoughtfully equipped for relaxed cruising, and the gennaker gives you performance options when conditions allow.

Strong value proposition. For a nearly new 40-foot catamaran with this specification, including Wi-Fi, snorkeling gear, and a dinghy, the pricing sits in a sensible sweet spot. You're getting recent build quality and full-spec equipment without the premium tag of ultra-luxury operators.

One honest note. The base location isn't specified in your data, which matters significantly for international guests planning flights and transfers. I'd recommend confirming the exact base with Yelkenli Yachting so you can factor in airport logistics and confirm English-speaking support before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marti Marina, in Orhaniye, Turkey. Serenita is operated by Yelkenli Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Marti Marina in Orhaniye sits on the Turkish Riviera with direct access to the protected waters of the Gulf of Hisarönü and the Aegean beyond. Week 1 charters typically explore the nearby Bozburun Peninsula and anchor in quiet bays around Datça, with steady northwesterly winds favouring easy downwind passages to island clusters further south. The marina's location works well for mixed-ability crews seeking sheltered first-week sailing before attempting longer crossings toward Rhodes or the Greek islands.

Can Serenita be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Serenita bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Serenita?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
