Serenity Shipyard 72ft - 2017

Laysan

Yacht description

Laysan has been specifically designed by her owner to be totally unique and amazingly fast. She captures the joy of exhilarating sailing whilst also managing to be one of the most luxurious yachts available for charter. 72ft long and 34ft wide she provides a really stable platform so would be perfect for non sailors also.

Layout is four 2 aft King cabins and 2 forward Queens. The two forward beds have steps up to them. All of the cabins have ensuite bathrooms with separate shower cubicles.

The headroom on Laysan is really good with 7ft in the salon and 6ft 5 inches in the bedrooms – this creates a very light and airy feel throughout. The décor compliments this effect with light wood and floors and neutral colours. The galley is separate from the lounge area providing a lot more space – room enough for indoor dining or maybe watching a movie.

On decks there is a great forward area that has shade and comfortable cushions – the best place to be at anchor where you would get the cooling breeze and be close enough to the water to spot a turtle. The cockpit is large and very relaxing with a super outdoor dining option plus two more settees and drop down screens for shade and protection from the elements.

Laysan has a great selection of water toys.

Penny's personal opinion

Why book Laysan – She is UNIQUE – she offers amazing fast, but comfortable sailing and she is one of a kind here in the BVI. Added to this is a wonderful crew that have a successful chartering background – they will always go above and beyond to ensure your vacation is the best.

  • The 'L' family

    I would like to thank you for the super trip. Karen: your cooking and your service were excellent. I love everything I put in my belly. And you Neil, all your information and stories were interesting and fun to listen to. You guys put sunshine in our vacation. Thank you!

    It will take me awhile to get re-accustomed to my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Kraft dinners. Thanks! Neil, even a paranoid hypochondriac would feel safe with you at the helm. Big thanks to the both of you. A nice occasion to reconnect to the best family I could ever have wished for. A year from now you’ll still remember us, every time you find onions hidden in Oreo snacks.

    From Antigua to St. Marteen, running away from our winter and being with family on Laysan was super fun, and we were blessed to be in the good care of Karen and Neil. Neil is very knowledgeable, and I felt safe at all times. Karen is a super cook and a little angel around the boat. Thank you x 1,000

    We want to thank you Karen & Neil for all you did for us. Every attention was very appreciated. You were always close to offer us comfort, +++. We did eat very good, tasty, well presented, fresh and healthy food.

    The Captain was very good “informateur” and we were in full security.

    Thanks for everything you did for us.

  • The 'A' family

    We feel so lucky that God put you in our path. It was by chance that we found you to sail with and we could not imagine sailing with anyone else. Thank you for making our trip planning effortless, for sharing with us the special places we visited, and for giving us something to look forward to in the future. There is no way to explain to others, how special sailing with you is so I hope we will plan another voyage with you soon and share this experience with our friends. We love you both and sailing with you feels like coming home. God bless you both as we part ways and may you both have a joyful 2020.

  • The 'G' family

    Aqua waters, white sand beaches, colorful fish, shining Tarpon, struggling coral, laid-back beach bars, floaty nation, fruity cocktails, light breezes, mighty liars’ dice, seriously competitive charades, lazy afternoon naps, fantastically yummy meals, beautiful boat and superbly capable captain.

    Thank you, Karen and Neil for everything! We are so lucky to have landed with you and look forward to another trip with you both.

    Combining superb seamanship with gracious hospitality isn’t trivial… and you two make it look effortless. We look forward to our next adventure together!

  • Leigh, Neil, Martin, Jim, Daniel, Henry & Lucy

    Our first time away from home for the Christmas Holiday and we are certain we did not miss a thing!

    5th trip in the BVI’s for Leigh, 4th for Martin and 3rd for our four children. So, yes, we are pros! This one tops then all!! The boat is beautiful, the scenery we know and love BUT – Captain and First Mate CANNOT be beat. We have never felt so comfortable with a boat team. In Neil’s incredibly competent hands, we smoothly sailed and were wowed at his numerous abilities. Sailor, Engineer, Comedian, Peace Maker, and so much more! His amazing wife Karen was a cook beyond compare and she was the easy going co-pilot in every sense of the word!

    Thank you – we will be so sad to leave you and hope that our paths cross again.

  • Melanie, Walker & Family

    What a lovely week you have given our family. I can’t imagine having our first yacht experience with anyone but you two. The entire week has felt like we have been guests in your home.

    Neil; you have a teacher’s heart and have taught us so much about the ocean, yachting and even how to use our watches for a compass. You have smiled through all our questions and answered with such patience.

    Karen; you have the gift of hospitality and feeding people WELL! Your quiet, sweet spirit made us feel so welcomed and as if we were family. And the food, there are now words to adequately describe how happy our taste buds and bellies have been all week with your fun menu planning.

    This has been a week full of beauty of the islands, wonderful conversations with our family and with you. Thank you for being such great sports with our music video making!

    It has certainly been a memory making week and we can’t wait to tell everyone we know or meet about our wonderful captain and his beautiful “crew/chef” wife!

    God really did match us with the perfect team of Neil and Karen.

    And if you ever make it to Alabama, please let us know because we would love to welcome you into our home! And we hope to make it back on your boat.

  • The G Family

    Our week long sail from St. Kitts and Nevis to St. Barths ending in St. Maarten was one of the best and most memorable trips of our lives! And mostly because of the incredible service, food, and professionalism shown by Karen and Neil. We enjoyed learning tricks of the sea, such as how to tell when the sun will set, or which way is south using your watch. And Neil’s British humor was par for the course. We hope to have many more trips like this, and we look forward to staying in touch!

    See you next year!
