Why she is for sale
Sailacat is moving up to a larger yacht, so Serenity needs a new owner
Serenity has carried Sailacat’s guests out of Long Wharf, Sag Harbor for years. She has not been retired. She is being sold because the business has outgrown her.
She has worked as a professional charter vessel under a USCG Certificate of Inspection. That means a Coast Guard inspector has examined her every year, and she was checked before every sailing with guests aboard. Over those years her owners replaced her engines and saildrives and installed new navigation, electrical, solar, plumbing and fuel systems.
This page sets out her service history, the upgrades, what her guests have written about her, and the documents a buyer can review.
“Kal and Brian are such thoughtful and attentive hosts and their boat, the Serenity, is beautifully appointed and maintained.”
ZackBklyn, TripAdvisor, August 2021
Care record
Inspected every year, and checked before every sail
Buyers are often cautious about ex-charter boats. Serenity’s record works the other way: as an inspected passenger vessel, she was held to a standard most private boats are never measured against.
