The Lagoon Royal Classic 65 “Serena” is a truly unique raised-saloon sailing yacht that combines Italian design elegance with traditional wooden craftsmanship and modern performance engineering.

Built at the historic Lagoon Royal Yachts shipyard in Kiev (Ukraine) under the supervision of Gruppo ALA, Italy, this yacht was constructed using triple-layered mahogany planking over laminated oak frames, bonded with West System epoxy and GRP-coated below the waterline.

This exceptional wood-epoxy composite construction provides remarkable thermal, noise, and vibration insulation, offering comfort, strength, and timeless beauty in equal measure.

 

The “SERENA” is a timelessly elegant 65-foot raised-saloon bluewater cruiser, built using the famous WEST System wood-epoxy construction.

Designed in Italy and hand-built in a historic shipyard in Ukraine, she combines traditional craftsmanship with modern performance and comfort – ideal for long trips or luxury liveaboard sailing.

 

SERENA has only known light private and limited charter use (MCA coded) and has participated in select boat shows and promotional events.

She has been meticulously maintained by her original builder and is still in excellent general condition – ready for immediate bluewater cruising.
