SERENITY - 1986 95' WESTPORT/CHRISTENSEN Cockpit Motor Yacht
West Palm Beach Florida United States
$1,495,000 USD

SERENITY is a prime example of this highly regarded 7 or 8 yacht series built by Westport/Christensen in the 1980s. This yacht offers a spacious 3-stateroom, 3-head layout, including a full-beam master suite, a large salon, and an on-deck galley. The expansive aft deck, full walk-around side decks, and generous flybridge make it easy to enjoy the outdoors and entertain. Additionally, SERENITY features a very large full-beam aft engine room and lazarette.
Having undergone a multi-million-dollar refit over the past 4 years, virtually every area of the yacht has been updated. Notable features include underway stabilizers, a powerful proportional bow thruster, new exterior teak decks, fresh teak and holly soles throughout the interior, new cushions, a new flybridge enclosure, new generators, and more. SERENITY is an exceptional choice for any classic live-aboard or long-range cruiser enthusiast.

SERENITY offers an exceptionally open and airy layout, providing several comfortable and inviting living spaces throughout. Upon entering the salon through double teak and glass doors from the large covered aft deck, you'll find a well-appointed entertainment center to port, with a large sofa, loveseat, and coffee table to starboard. The forward dining area complements the space, and the entire salon is surrounded by expansive windows, allowing for ample natural light and panoramic views.
Moving forward to starboard, a stairwell leads to the owner and guest staterooms. The full-beam owner’s stateroom is located aft and is fully ensuite with separate his and her heads. Forward, there are twin guest staterooms, each with a queen-size bed and ensuite heads for added privacy and comfort.
Back in the salon, you can walk forward on the port side, passing the generously sized athwartships galley, and ascend a few steps into the pilothouse. The pilothouse is equipped with a centerline helm and captain's chair, flanked by a small dinette to starboard. To port, there’s a conveniently located day head. Access to the side decks is made easy via doors on both port and starboard, and there’s a central companionway leading to the flybridge for seamless movement between spaces.
To the port side of the pilothouse, stairs lead down to the crew quarters, which feature a small dinette, two spacious crew cabins, a laundry area, and a second full galley.
The engine room is a standout feature, offering full-height walk-around space. It can be accessed through a door from the cockpit, via the large lazarette, or through a hatch in the aft deck.
Outdoor areas are equally impressive, with the flybridge deck being large enough to comfortably accommodate 20 or more guests, perfect for entertaining. The bow, aft deck, and cockpit are also generously sized, providing plenty of space for relaxation, outdoor activities, and easy access to the water.

SERENITY is a rare offering on today’s brokerage market.  Her current owner has put over $2 million into refurbishing and refitting SERENITY into the beautiful classic yacht she is today.  While primarily enjoyed throughout the Northeast and Bahamas in recent years, SERENITY is a Panama Canal veteran and has traveled both US Coasts, Central America, Canada and the Caribbean extensively.  She is offered due to her owner’s desire to downsize.
