Celestia 72

Delivery is set for 2027, when Serenity hands Celestia 72 over from its yard in Turkey as an aluminium flybridge motor yacht drawn by Darnet studio, with naval architecture by Pierre Delion. At 72 feet she is built to sleep ten guests across five cabins, with a single crew member aboard, a scale suited to family cruising rather than large-party charter. Buying her now means buying before she exists: the interior can still be arranged around an owner's preferences rather than inherited from someone else's choices.

Build and provenance

Serenity built her as a custom aluminium hull, a material chosen for strength without excess weight, and Darnet studio drew both the naval architecture and the interior style with Pierre Delion. Being an in-build yacht changes what a survey means: rather than a history of use, the first inspection will read as a check on a new hull rather than years of wear. Her 1.2-metre draft is shallow enough to reach coves that deeper motor yachts cannot follow, a point the design has been built around.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are accommodated in five cabins, and the yard offers a version with the owner's suite set on the main deck, an arrangement a buyer can still choose before construction locks it in. Large windows and a sliding door tie the main deck's living space to the exterior, so the saloon and the aft deck function as one room.

Performance and engineering

Celestia 72 cruises at 15 knots and reaches 20 knots flat out, figures that describe a boat built for coastal days rather than long offshore legs at speed. Combined with her shallow draft, that pace suits an owner who wants to move between anchorages and secluded bays rather than cross oceans on a schedule.

Where she lies and how to see her

Celestia 72 is under construction at the yard in Turkey, so a viewing today means seeing the build rather than a finished boat afloat. Boatcrowd sets up that visit and comes along for it, and once an offer on the build slot is accepted we bring in the surveyor and, later, the sea trial team.
