Overview

Serenity was commissioned in the Spring of 2007 and she has taken her original owners north to Alaska and south to Mexico. She is berthed  in Anacortes, Washington and is available for inspection by appointment.in keeping with her primary mission as a passage maker, she has no flybridge, keeping her wind profile low, a feature valued by her owner who have many years experience commercial fishing in Alaska.  She has been beautiful maintained and is completely ready to take her new owners wherever they may wish to go. She is outfitted with many features that make her perfect for a cruising couple.  She is one of the few 43s with an extended swim step complete with staples for ease of loading or unloading a tender or kayak.  In addition to Trac stabilizers – which allow you to leave items on the counter without fear – she has a flopper stopper for anchoring. She has a water maker, extra batteries, and LED lights. The boat deck is equipped with a unique sun shade and dingy rack that swings out o the way, making the boat deck an additional entertainment area.  The deployment of the dingy is done using a Steelhead crane and does not require removal of the sun shade. The boat has been continually upgraded and preventive maintenance performed.  For example, just over the past year, the owners have replaced the stabilizer pistons, the water maker membranes, the carpets, upgraded the alternator to 165 amps, replaced the master head with upgraded Dometic model, painted the bottom and replaced zincs.

INTERIOR TOUR OF THE BOAT:

The interior is teak through out with a teak and spruce sole.  The custom non-skid area rugs through out were replaced in May 2014.  The upholstery in the Saloon and pilothouse was also upgraded to 'Ultraleather' (color eucalyptus) and all counters in the galley and heads are granite.  All windows and doors have screening.  Most of the interior lights have been replaced with LEDs.  Extra railings have been installed on the stairways and overhead in the Saloon and Pilothouse for safety.  Both staterooms have custom mattresses and Dometic fresh water flush electric heads.

SALOON & GALLEY:

The Salon and Galley share the same space making it easy to prepare and serve food and refreshments.  There is a settee on the port side and an L shaped settee on the starboard side.  Under and behind the settees, there is generous storage.  The teak table in front of the settee is equipped with a slide that facilitates use of the storage and seating. High end accordion style shades provide light control and privacy.
The “U” shaped Galley is forward on the port side.  It has lots of storage, a Force Ten 3 burner propane stove/oven, a trash compactor, microwave, double stainless sink, under counter sub zero refrigerator, a combination sub zero refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and a 5 cubic foot top loading freezer.
A Splendide washer dryer combo is located on the port side of the Pilothouse.

PILOTHOUSE & NAVIGATION ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT:

Aft is a pilot berth with raised bench seat and teak table forward.  There is a full-sized chart storage locker located under the footrest step. There are waterproof dutch doors on port and starboard sides leading to side decks.  In lieu of a captain’s chair, this experienced owner opted to drive from the bench seat using the remote control autopilot.  This creates space for easy flow through the Pilot House. All AC and DC panels are in the console. There is a replacement panel for the instrument cluster.  Full engine and navigation controls include:

SWIMSTEP, COCKPIT & LAZARETTE:

SERENITY has been upgraded with a generous extended swimstep complete with moveable staples that has totally changed the functionality of this area for getting on and off tenders, kayaks, and paddle boards as well as for fishing and swimming.  At night blue underwater lights provide a splendid show, especially in clear water.
The Cockpit has high freeboard and overhead protection.  A mesh sunscreen can be hung from the boat deck to provide additional shade if needed.  A custom stainless steel coat rack provide a handy place for rain gear or swimsuits.  Doors lead to the dock off each side and to the swimstep in the stern. There is hot and cold water for showers, a fresh water washdown and storage.  Large LED lights provide excellent security. Access to the large lazarette is from the cockpit.
The lazarette houses the inverter, water maker, hot water tank, pressure water pump and batteries but still has generous room for other storage.  The inverter was upgraded to 3000 watt MAGNUM model.  The house battery bank was increased to 1200 AMP hour AGM batteries and all were replaced in 2012.  The water maker is a 400 gpd VILLAGE MARINE.
The membranes were replaced in 2014.
There's plenty of room in the cockpit for a couple of chairs and table to enjoy the early morning sunrise coffee or the evening sunset cocktails!

BOAT DECK:

The boat deck is accessed on the starboard side and features a drystack, a STEELHEAD 1000 lb crane,.  FLEXLBOAT SR- 10 foot dingy with a 15 hp HONDA motor, wheels. anchor line and SUNBRELLA cover, and unique sunshade support and dingy cradle.  The sunshade support accommodates a large cover, and the dingy cradle swings out of the way so as to clear the entire boat deck for group activities.  The dingy can be deployed without removing the sunshade. There are two stainless steel dock fender holders on the port side and on each side there are kayak/paddle board supports.  A FORESPAR boom on the port side can be deployed to support a flopper stopper when the anchorage is rolly.  There is a ladder giving access to the top of the pilot house which is completed with a 15 inch high rail on three side and a 6 person life raft.
Access to the foredeck is on the starboard side through the Portuguese bridge.  There is ample room to set up a chair and enjoy the ride from outside.  The autopilot remote reaches far enough that the skipper can enjoy this spot.
