About Crewed Sailing Yacht SERENA
SERENA is a 2023 Beneteau Oceanis 62 offering refined crewed sailing charters across the US Virgin Islands and beyond. The yacht combines modern design with practical comfort, featuring three queen cabins that sleep up to six guests in understated elegance. Her contemporary interior and well-appointed deck spaces create the ideal setting for both active sailing days and leisurely Caribbean anchorages.
The yacht's open cockpit is designed for al fresco dining and uninterrupted views of turquoise waters. Below deck, her layout maximises natural light and flow, whilst modern systems ensure smooth passage through variable conditions. A Williams Jet Tender extends your reach to secluded coves and shallow-water exploration.
Your experience rests in the hands of Captain Hugh, a 30-year competitive sailor with extensive ocean racing credentials and deep knowledge of these waters. Chef Vivianne brings world-class culinary expertise, with particular skill in authentic international cuisine and artisanal cocktails. Together, they orchestrate a seamless charter focused on your preferences rather than a preset agenda.

The Charter Experience
Chartering SERENA in the US Virgin Islands means working with a crew who genuinely understand the region's best anchorages, trade-wind patterns, and hidden spots. Captain Hugh's racing pedigree translates to confident, efficient sailing; Vivianne's galley reputation precedes her. The inclusive charter terms cover crew services, all meals, fuel, and permits, allowing you to focus on the sailing itself. Whether you're seeking active day passages or drifting between island stops, the crew adapts to your rhythm rather than a fixed itinerary.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week aboard SERENA might depart St. Thomas for Water Island and Sapphire Beach, then sail south to the British Virgin Islands, exploring Norman Island's caves and Cooper Island's anchorages. Return passages often include Jost Van Dyke and Virgin Gorda before concluding in the USVI. The itinerary flexes based on weather, your sailing appetite, and crew recommendations for lesser-known mooring spots and shoreside experiences.
