The yacht <em>Serengeti<\/em> is seeking her next equally avid owner, through an auction on March 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Splashed in 2002, the year after the series debuted, <em>Serengeti<\/em> has put thousands of nautical miles under her hull. She has frequented Alaska, for instance, having a home base on the U.S. West Coast since delivery. In fact, she\u2019s spent summers in Alaska and much of the remainder of the year in California since her current owner acquired her about 13 years ago. The voyages supported family time, especially with growing children, and multiple vacations for charter guests.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-4.jpg\" alt=\"Westport yacht Serengeti\" class=\"wp-image-86795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-4.jpg 780w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-4-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-4-768x394.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That owner further returned her name to what her first owner, the late comedian and talk-show host Johnny Carson, christened her. <a href=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/2025\/06\/johnny-carsons-yacht-serengeti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As detailed in a book about Carson<\/a>, the yacht\u00a0<em>Serengeti<\/em> was truly special to him. He spent significant time cruising with friends along both the West and East Coast. Sometimes, too, he simply spent time aboard at the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From her five staterooms to her lounges, animal art and fabrics serve as subtle nods to her name. These include the main-deck master suite, where rows of elephants march across a settee. Zebra-like patterns flow across carpeting from deck to deck. Most noteworthy of all, though, an art niche in the main entry foyer pays homage to Carson. It\u2019s a portrait of him as Carnac the Magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-2.jpg\" alt=\"Westport yacht Serengeti\" class=\"wp-image-86793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-2.jpg 780w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-2-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-2-768x394.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of whether the owners with the winning bid keep this d\u00e9cor, the spaces make private time or charter trips welcoming. For example, a cherrywood buffet separates the formal dining area from the main saloon without walling either off. It additionally conceals a pop-up television for the saloon. While the alfresco areas like the hot tub aft on the bridge deck and the foredeck lounge will surely be popular, the skylounge can bring the group together day or night. It has a bar, a games table, and a TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capable of a 20-knot speed and with a Bahamas-friendly draft, the yacht Serengeti has been well-maintained. Personal viewings are available by appointment through March 17. Boathouse Auctions anticipates opening bids for the no-reserve auction will range from $3 million to $3.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boathouse Auctions&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/boathouseauctions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boathouseauctions.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Westport Yachts&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/westportyachts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">westportyachts.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-5.jpg\" alt=\"Westport yacht Serengeti\" class=\"wp-image-86796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-5.jpg 780w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-5-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Westport-Serengeti-5-768x394.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-6788f72\" id=\"more-about-the-yacht-serengeti\" data-block-id=\"6788f72\"><div class=\"myn-heading-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">More About the Yacht Serengeti<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LOA: 130\u20190\u201d (39.62 meters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beam: 26\u20192\u201d (7.98 meters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Draft: 6\u20196\u201d (1.96 meters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests: 12 in 5 staterooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engines: 2\/2,600-hp MTUs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Range: 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Builder: Westport Yachts&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stylist: Gregory C.
