Serenity Description and Charter Summary Information
Beautiful, stylish, and modern, Serenity is a 48-foot crewed luxury Dufour catamaran with all the amenities of your own 5-star all-inclusive private ocean hotel. Built for elegant comfort, Serenity’s ensuite air-conditioned sleeping accommodations include 3 queen-sized guest cabins plus a bunk cabin for up to 8 guests. Your captain and crew will see to your every need while sailing and island-hopping between beautiful tropical locations.
Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, beautiful Caribbean sunsets, gourmet meals, crystal clear blue water, exceptional world-class beaches, and unrivaled scenery are just some of the things waiting for you on Serenity. And because it's all-inclusive, the only thing you need to bring is yourself (and a bathing suit).
We’ve got adventure too! Snorkel to your heart's content, paddle board or kayak to a remote cove, explore a hiking trail, or jump in a tube and catch some air behind Serenity’s tender.
A private crewed catamaran charter on Serenity is anything but ordinary. Let us take you away on a trip like no other for an unforgettable vacation for you and family or friends.

Yacht Information
From the Logbook
Our take: Serenity
A modern 48’ Dufour that offers a great balance of space, privacy, and value. Built in 2022, Serenity accommodates up to 8 guests across four cabins — three Queen cabins and one Twin — with every cabin offering its own ensuite bathroom, which is a particularly nice setup for groups that don’t want to share facilities.
She comes with a two-person crew, Captain and Chef/First Mate, and a good selection of water toys including two stand-up paddleboards, a two-person kayak, floating mat, tube, snorkeling and fishing gear, plus a swim platform. Onboard amenities include Wi-Fi, BBQ, ice maker and salon sound system.

Meet your Captain, Jacques
All the way from sunny South Africa, Jacques joined Serenity in 2026, bringing over 18 years of hospitality expertise and a lifelong passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Before taking to the sea full-time, Jacques owned and operated successful beach-themed restaurants—a background that shines through in his warm, welcoming hospitality and love for great food and great company.
Equally at home entertaining on deck or leading below water, Jacques is a skilled boat handler, an experienced chef, and a qualified SSI Divemaster. Whether he’s keeping operations running seamlessly behind the scenes, guiding guests on an underwater dive, or crafting a memorable evening on board, his goal is always the same: ensuring guests feel relaxed, safe, and completely catered to.
Known for his easy-going nature and positive energy, Jacques believes life at sea is all about balance: exceptional service, seamless teamwork, and creating those magic, unforgettable moments on the water that guests will talk about for years to come.
Meet your Chef, Gys
He grew up in a small farming town in South Africa, where weekends were often spent on the farm with his family. Some of his fondest memories are helping his mom in the kitchen. Watching her cook from the heart, taught him that food is much more than a meal, it’s a way of bringing people together, creating memories, and showing people you care. That passion has stayed with him ever since.
Although he grew up far from the ocean, he was always drawn to the water. Family holidays at the coast meant spending hours swimming in the waves, and never wanting to leave. “Looking back, it feels like the sea was always calling me.”
After high school he was accepted to study law, but instead he chose to take a leap into the unknown and explore the world. What was meant to be a one-year adventure has turned into an incredible journey in yachting! He started as a Deck/Stew, helping the chef whenever he had the chance, and quickly discovered that the galley was where he truly belonged. Through the guidance of an amazing mentor, he was trained to cook for up to 20 guests and 7 crew, and has been pursuing his passion as a yacht chef ever since.
Over the past three years he has been fortunate enough to call the British Virgin Islands home. From the crystal-clear waters to the incredible people, he'd fallen in love with this special part of the world and can’t wait to share it with you. When he's not in the galley, you’ll usually find him mixing cocktails, setting beautiful tables, diving, snorkeling, or enjoying time with guests. He loves creating genuine connections and believe the best charters are the ones where everyone feels like family.
Gys is looking forward to welcoming you aboard Serenity , sharing his love of food and the islands, and helping create memories that you’ll treasure long after your charter comes to an end!
Best way to explore BVI
Jun 2026 • Couples
I really can't find any downside to this experience. We were encouraged to give input on the itinerary from the planing stage so that we could have a tailor made experience. We got the exact experience we wanted (snorkeling, cool beaches, and exploring the small islands of the BVI). The boat is well outfitted with water toys. The accommodations are well maintained and very clean. The menu for the week was carefully crafted by Olga after our pre-sail input and all her offerings were wonderful (especially her conch fritters). Captain Jacques also makes the best Painkiller in the BVI. Yeah the best, I said it. If you are thinking about exploring the area this way, go ahead and do it with these guys!
