SERENISSIMA III

## S/Y SERENISSIMA III — Fountaine Pajot 80 Greece is the natural playground for a sailing catamaran of this size, and SERENISSIMA III makes the case quickly. The Fountaine Pajot 80 is the French yard's flagship sailing multihull, and it delivers what monohull charter rarely can: two hulls of usable volume, negligible heel under sail, and shallow enough draft to tuck into the kind of Cycladic bay where the tender ride to shore takes ninety seconds. The flybridge is the centre of gravity on board. It functions as a genuine upper deck rather than a helm station with a couple of seats bolted on — space to spread out, to watch the sails trim, to stay there from morning coffee through to the last of the light. Forward, a second cockpit gives you the bow seating that experienced charterers always ask for: the best place on any catamaran once the sails are up and the boat is quietly making miles. Accommodation is five cabins for ten guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and three further cabins each with a queen-size bed and its own bathroom. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The interior is contemporary and notably light, with the galley placed on the main deck — which keeps the crew close to the guest areas and the saloon connected to the cockpit rather than sealed off from it. A crew of five looks after the yacht: captain, chef, chief stewardess, deck/stewardess and deckhand. On a boat of this footprint that ratio matters — it is the difference between a well-run charter and one where things quietly slip. Between sailing days, the aft and forward lounging areas do the rest of the work. This is a yacht built for people who want the sensation of being genuinely under sail without giving up the space to do nothing at all.
