Mengi Yay Yachts has unveiled its latest creation, the 47 metre tri deck superyacht SERENISSIMA I, a striking example of modern design and meticulous craftsmanship. Developed in close collaboration with naval architects Van Oossanen and the celebrated Italian design studio Nuvolari Lenard, the custom built vessel reflects Mengi Yay’s ongoing commitment to excellence in the sub 500GT market.

With a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure, SERENISSIMA I is crafted for both performance and pleasure. Her design prioritises space and functionality, ensuring that every area serves a purpose, whether for relaxation, entertainment, or intimate moments at sea.

At the core of the yacht’s layout is the private upper owner’s deck, which includes panoramic views, and a secluded outdoor retreat complete with a Jacuzzi. Another Jacuzzi graces the sundeck, where guests can also enjoy a dining table for 10 beneath a hardtop shelter, a firepit for evening gatherings, and ample sunpads. The sundeck is elegantly divided by chic glass panels, creating a protected, versatile space for alfresco living.

Inside, SERENISSIMA I exudes contemporary elegance. The main deck features a classic aft salon and dining room, which flow into the midship guest lobby. She accommodates up to 10 guests in five beautifully appointed cabins. The master suite, located on the bridge deck aft, offers a walk in wardrobe, sea view en suite, and private deck access with sunpads, a Jacuzzi, and a dining area. The lower deck houses four additional guest cabins, with the option to convert the aft cabins into a full beam VIP suite.

Further enhancing the onboard experience are standout features such as a gentleman’s lounge with a cinema room, a drop down balcony, and a walk in wine cellar. A lift connects all interior decks for ease of movement, while crew quarters for nine ensure discreet and attentive service.

Exterior highlights include a generous swim platform, forward tender garage for Jet Skis and a rescue tender, and walkaround bridge decks leading to a flush foredeck with unobstructed views. With SERENISSIMA I, Mengi Yay Yachts delivers a seamless fusion of luxury, design, and performance, an extraordinary vessel tailored for those who demand the finest in life at sea.
