FAQS
Everything you need to know before stepping onboard Serenity. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, our crew is always happy to help.
Serenity Charters specialises in private charter experiences tailored around you. From relaxed Broadwater cruising and sunset charters to whale watching, celebrations, romantic escapes, corporate gatherings, and bespoke full-day experiences. Every charter is designed to suit your vision.
Currently Serenity caters for:
up to 12 guests for inshore experiences
up to 6 guests for offshore and whale watching charters
This smaller guest capacity allows for a far more relaxed, personal, and intimate experience on the water.
