About Serena

First launched in 1964, Serena was the height of maritime cool in that heady decade. Almost half a century later, this Carlo Riva-designed Feadship (see also Caravelle) was completely rebuilt and restored to better-than-new condition. Completed in 2011, Serena not only blended the past with the present – the craftsmen of the future also benefitted from a project that involved apprentices in a unique way.

The 43,000-hour project incorporated technologies and materials normally associated with a much longer Feadship. System-wise, a major focus was placed on vibration attenuation, noise reduction, fuel consumption and heat insulation. The engine room was turned into a standalone area and the stabilisation brought to the highest 21st-century standards.

Serena was rebuilt in a way that is unprecedented for a motoryacht of her type and the delighted owner described her as “the ultimate mini-megayacht”. Read the interview published in PILOT and see the results for yourself in the Serena refit brochure.
