SF Yachts Celebrates Sea Trials of 60M Fully Custom Superyacht Serenity II Ahead of Summer Delivery

Antalya, Türkiye — June.08.2026 — The highly anticipated 60-metre superyacht Serenity II has officially entered sea trials in Türkiye, marking the final stage before her delivery to the owner this summer. Built by Alia Yachts in collaboration with Dutch designers Vripack, the yacht represents one of the most significant fully custom superyacht projects ever undertaken by Middle East-based SF Yachts — the international yacht sales, superyacht construction and management firm.
 
More than a decade in the making between the owner’s family and SF Yachts, Serenity II marks the seventh yacht sold by SF Yachts to the family, and the second fully custom superyacht project developed together over the past 10 years. The project was entirely designed, managed and supervised through to delivery preparation by SF Yachts alongside the shipyard and design partners.
 
At 60 metres with a volume exceeding 1,000 GT, Serenity II combines elegant Northern European-inspired lines with the warmth and functionality of a true family yacht. Featuring a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the yacht was created for long-range cruising, comfort and understated timeless luxury.
 
Among her standout highlights are:
- Expansive beach club and wellness area
- Private owner’s terrace and lounge
- Full-height glass elevator connecting all decks
- Sky lounge cinema
- Gym, massage room and steam facilities
- Large guest accommodation for multigenerational cruising
- Fully custom contemporary interiors with extensive natural light
- Long-range displacement platform designed for efficiency and comfort
 
The yacht was envisioned as a true “home on the water,” prioritising refined family living and practical luxury over trend-driven styling.
 
Eng. Francesco Pitea, CEO of SF Yachts, commented:
 
Serenity II represents everything SF Yachts has evolved into over the years. This was not simply a yacht sale — it was a fully custom project developed together with the owner from concept to reality. From design coordination and technical development to construction management and delivery preparation, our team has been involved in every stage alongside our partners at Alia Yachts and Vripack. Seeing her now entering sea trials ahead of delivery is an incredibly proud moment for all of us.”
 
With sea trials now underway along the Turkish coast, Serenity II is preparing for delivery ahead of the Mediterranean summer season, where she is expected to become one of the standout new fully custom superyachts of the year.
