Serene
One of the world’s most expensive boats,
Serene was sold to the Crown of Saudi
Arabia, Prince Mohammad bin Salman,
for US$500 million by the owner of
Stolichnaya Vodka, Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler. At 133 metres in length, Serene
is also one of the largest yachts in the world. Built by Fincantieri in 2011, the
superyacht’s magnificent profile was designed by Espen Oeino, while her vast interior
spaces were styled by Reymond Langton Design.
Serene’s features include not one but two helipads, a health club complete with
a hair salon and fully equipped spa, a children’s playground with an indoor climbing
wall, three swimming pools, and hot and cold jacuzzis – and there’s even space for
a large submarine, should the need arise.
The perfect superyacht for entertaining business acquaintances or close friends,
other features include a dance floor, indoor cinema, a wood-fired pizza oven and
a teppanyaki grill. Below deck, there’s also the Nemo room, an underwater viewing
area that allows guests to enjoy all the marine life swimming beneath the vessel.
There’s also a grand spiral staircase inside that reaches six of the seven decks.
Serene can accommodate up to 24 guests across 15 staterooms, which includes
a master suite, one VIP stateroom, seven double cabins and three twin cabins. »Monaco Yacht
