On Monday October 25th, Cheoy Lee launched the 90 foot Serenity Expedition yacht, yard number 5016, at the Hin Lee yard in southern China.
The Serenity 90 Expedition is for an owner upgrading from his previous yacht, a Cheoy Lee Serenity 68. The yacht was purchased through Cheoy LeeYachts Australia, although delivery will be ex-yard Hong Kong.
The 90’ Serenity Expedition Yacht is fitted with a pair of continuously rated Caterpillar C18 diesels, developing 600hp at 1800rpm. A 3.6:1 ZF reduction gearbox allows for a slow turning large diameter propeller, offering excellent fuel efficiency. Combined with 4,850gallons of fuel, the yachts 4500nm maiden voyage from Hong Kong to Adelaide can be made without any refuelling stops.
The Serenity 90 Expedition Motor Yacht offers large master and VIP staterooms, and two equal twin guest staterooms, to which the owner has requested an additional pullman berth for each. The comfortable sky lounge has also been redesigned to facilitate occasional use as a double stateroom.
A total of 12 guests can therefore be comfortably accommodated in five staterooms, each with ensuite heads. There is also accommodation for a crew of four in the forward part of the yacht. Other features include a large foredeck, with a centrally mounted 2,200lb davit, housing a 5.5m RIB tender, a waverunner and Hobie Cat.
The Cheoy Lee Serenity 90 Expedition Yacht 5016 will be delivered to her owners in early 2011.
