About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht SERENISSIMA II
SERENISSIMA II is a Mengi Yay S1 motor yacht delivering contemporary luxury across the Cyclades Islands and beyond. Built in 2024, she accommodates 10 guests in 5 cabins, with a crewed team led by Captain Filip Bohinec, whose background founding and operating charter companies ensures each voyage unfolds as a bespoke itinerary rather than a schedule. The yacht's teak decks and modern systems create the foundation for seamless passage through Greece's island passages, Croatian anchorages, and Montenegrin bays.
Your experience centres on Chef Matteo Puccini's Mediterranean kitchen, where 20 years in high-end hospitality translates into menus that shift effortlessly from classical Italian to globally inspired cuisine. Chief Stewardess Olena Pankratova orchestrates table service and cabin presentations with the precision of ultra-luxury hotels, whilst Stewardess Mariia Holovko ensures every touchpoint reflects thoughtful detail. On deck, First Officer Blaž Zupancic's navigational expertise and Bosun Rene Ristovski's watersports direction provide both security and spontaneity.
The broader crew architecture supports quiet efficiency throughout. Chief Engineer Oleksandr Rachenok's merchant marine background keeps systems running invisibly, whilst Nejc Mlinšek manages watersports—from tender explorations to wakeboarding—with expertise drawn from nautical tourism and coastal guiding. This structure allows you to remain entirely focused on the unfolding landscape: limestone cliffs, historic waterfront towns, and crystalline anchorages where morning swims feel like private rituals.

The Charter Experience
In the Cyclades Islands, SERENISSIMA II reveals Greece's quieter anchorages and lesser-frequented passages. Days structure themselves around your preferences: long swims from the sun deck in turquoise shallows, tender runs to whitewashed villages perched above the waterline, or unhurried exploration of archaeological sites framed by Aegean light. Dinners on deck become the rhythm-setter, where Chef Matteo's menus draw on local catches and seasonal produce, paired with Greek wines selected to match both the food and the hour. The combination of a responsive crew and a modern yacht designed for comfort means you navigate the islands at a considered pace, lingering where the mood takes you rather than racing between ports.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical Cyclades charter begins in Greece with anchor visits to quieter islands: Antiparos for limestone cave exploration and afternoon swims, Despotiko for untouched beaches, or Naxos for stone-built villages and local tavernas. Days weave between water-based relaxation and cultural immersion; one morning might feature wakeboarding off the stern, the next a guided walk through narrow streets ending in a family-run waterfront café. As the charter progresses, the itinerary flexes toward Croatian waters, revealing the Adriatic's own rhythm through Split's historic quarters, Hvar's lavender coastlines, and Kotor's mountain-ringed bays. Throughout, SERENISSIMA II's crew anticipates needs whilst respecting the unstructured luxury of time at sea.
