Yacht Description
Eight guests, four queens. SERENITY 4.8 is a 2022 Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran at 49 feet, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, each with a private en-suite. No arguing over who got the “good” cabin. They are all the good cabin.
Outdoor living, sorted. You get three distinct hangout zones: a top deck flybridge with 360-degree views, plus both forward and aft cockpit areas for lounging and dining. Pick your vibe. Then change your mind.
Easy water time. Scoop steps and a swim platform make quick dips and re-boarding less of a production, and the outdoor shower helps keep salt where it belongs. There is also a BBQ for low-effort lunches that still feel like a win.
Toys that get used. For active days, she carries paddleboards (2), a wakeboard, a towable tube, floating mats, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, and an underwater camera and video setup, plus fishing gear. Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, and a salon TV/audio system cover the downtime hours.

SERENITY 4.8
February 2026
Taking us to snorkeling locations with so much to see and it felt safe to swim there. It was perfect. Even though Captain John was very knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. JulieAnna’s sublime cooking and presentation is top on my feedback when I’m recounting my trips highlights to my friends. She truly made this an amazing experience.

SERENITY 4.8
Quite Simply The Best
Our captain John Yoxall was quite simply the best skipper we've ever sailed with. The safety of his guests was always priority #1 throughout the charter… We came to realize that John considers one of his roles as skipper to be Ambassador to the BVI for his guests, a role he performed beyond expectations… We had an informal talk every morning about what to do that day, including John's wonderfully entertaining stories about the history of the BVI. His stories were so much fun that one of our guests promptly began videotaping him…In terms of drinks, not only was the wine and beer we requested available, but John mixed up a different, delicious Caribbean concoction for us every night, all of which were new to us. In fact, it's safe to say that John's talents on the grille were exceeded only by his bartending skills. His wine selections were well received by our group, especially the reds. And after dinner, port was served every night, our favorite!
