Second 47m sub-500GT Mengi Yay superyacht Serenissima II delivered

7 May 2025 • Written by Emily Dawkins

The second unit in Mengi Yay's sub-500GT Serenissima series, Serenissima II, has been delivered to her owners. According to BOATPro, the 47-metre motor yacht has already embarked on her maiden voyage and is currently in Malta.

Like her sistership, Serenissima I (S1), Serenissima II features both an exterior and interior design by Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard, with Dutch studio Van Oossanen Naval Architects responsible for her naval architecture. According to the yard, the series stands out "as a result of international collaboration",  representing a "refined synthesis of artisanal and technical excellence from three nations".

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the motor yacht has been "specifically designed" for both long-range cruising and the Mediterranean lifestyle, featuring wide deck areas and a spacious interior layout. 

Accommodation on board Serenissima II is expected to welcome a party of 10 in five cabins, thanks to her 499GT volume, in addition to a crew of nine.

Serenissima II hit the water at the yard's new build facilities in Istanbul, Turkey, last month, before undergoing sea trials

Highlights of the Serenissima model include a main saloon complete with a balcony and wine cellar, as well as a sundeck - highlighted by the yard as "one of the largest in this category of yachts" - which features a sunbathing area aft, a mini pool and a sheltered lounge area.

Key specs include an 8.85-metre beam, a 2.65-metre draught and a projected top speed of 16 knots delivered by twin Caterpillar engines.

According to BOATPro, there are currently six superyachts in build at the Turkish yard, including two units from Mengi Yay's flagship Virtus XP model, both expected to launch this year.
