The Serenissima II is the second vessel launched by Turkish Mengi Yay shipyard under the NL brand

The brand was launched by Italian Nuvolari Lenard studio known as experts in custom superyachts design. The most famous and largest yachts in the world are owed to the studio, and their construction takes a really long time, so the projects under the NL brand are aimed mainly at those who want a large superyacht designed by the legendary duet, but with a shorter delivery time.   

The 47-metre Serenissima II was launched in Istanbul less than a year after the first yacht in the seires, Serenissima I, which made her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2024. Both vessels feature exterior and interior design by Nuvolari Lenard and naval architecture by Dutch Van Oossanen Naval Architects.

The Serenissima II has a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and was designed both for long-range voyages and short cruises in the Mediterranean. The focus is on exterior spaces, although there is no lack of interior spaces either, thanks to the beam of 8,85 m and the internal volume is 499 GT. With a draft of 2.65 m the yacht can enter and anchor almost anywhere in the Mediterranean and beyond.

Among the new vessel’s standout features one should mention a spacious main saloon with a fold-down balcony and a wine cellar, as well as an extremely large sundeck with a mini pool and a beach area. The Serenissima II is capable of accommodating 10 guests across five cabins and a crew of nine. The yacht’s top speed is 16 knots.
