The idea
Serenissima S1 is our love letter to the Venetian sailing tradition — and to owners who find engines vulgar. A lifting keel takes her from 4.2 metres of draft to deep-water stability, so she can ghost into anchorages no 50-metre yacht has any business reaching, then sail home at eleven knots without burning a litre.
What she entails
The cockpit is the heart of the yacht: a 60-square-metre terrace with no visible winches — all sail handling hides below deck and runs on push-button hydraulics. Aft, a transformer swim platform doubles as the tender garage door.
Below deck, four guest cabins and a full-beam master sit in oak, linen and brushed bronze. A diesel-electric system with a large battery bank allows silent overnight hotel loads at anchor — the loudest sound aboard is the anchor chain.
