M/Y Marquise 72m Austal Yacht Available in the Mediterranean for the Summer of 2026

Chartering a yacht in the Mediterranean often means compromising on space — especially if you’re planning a trip with a large group. Most vessels accommodate 8 to 12 guests, leaving you to split the experience across multiple boats or reduce your guest list. But not with M/Y Marquise (formerly Serenity). If you’re searching for a private yacht that offers the size of a boutique cruise ship without losing the elegance of a superyacht, your perfect summer escape awaits.

Marquise Yacht — A 72m Masterpiece of Space and Style

Initially launched by Austal Ships and previously known as Serenity, M/Y Marquise is a custom-built 72-metre superyacht that breaks every charter rule — especially in the Med. After extensive refits in 2017 and again in 2025, Marquise now offers a truly five-star experience, setting a new benchmark for large-group yacht charters in 2026.

With 14 spacious cabins and capacity for 28 guests, Marquise isn’t just a yacht — it’s a private floating retreat.

Luxury Accommodation for 28 Guests

Unlike traditional motor yachts, which often max out at 12 guests due to regulations and space constraints, Marquise accommodates more than double that number without sacrificing comfort. Each of her 14 cabins is elegantly designed, providing a perfect blend of privacy and luxurious amenities.

• Generously proportioned suites
• Ensuite bathrooms
• Refined interior finishes
• Configurable arrangements for families or friends

For large celebrations, milestone birthdays, multi-generational family trips, or corporate events, Marquise is one of the very few Mediterranean yachts that can do it all.

Four Expansive Guest Decks Connected by a Grand Staircase

Marquise’s layout spans four separate guest decks, allowing everyone on board to move freely, enjoy privacy, or gather together as desired. A beautifully designed staircase connects these decks, adding architectural elegance and ease of movement.

Whether you’re looking for quiet reading space, al fresco lounging, or formal dining, each deck offers zones designed to elevate your onboard lifestyle.

The Only Yacht of Its Kind in the Mediterranean for 2026

What sets Marquise apart is not just her size and luxury — it’s her rare charter capacity. In the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, it’s nearly impossible to find another yacht of this size with:

• Room for 28 guests
• 14 fully equipped cabins
• Sundeck with pool
• Expansive living areas

While smaller yachts require splitting groups or reducing headcount, Marquise is built for togetherness without compromise.
