Selene Yachts For Sale

A leading world brand of luxury passage-making trawlers, Selene Yachts are designed and built in the impressive Jet Tern Marine facility along the Pearl River delta in Zhuhai, China since 1998. Jet Tern Marine was founded by Howard Chen who studied architecture under the famous Taiwanese architect, Dr. Da-Hong Wang at Tunghai University in Taiwan.

Learn More About Selene And Find Your Next Boat

Influenced by Dr Wang’s design and name of a commemorative monument of the Apollo 11 moon landing, he called his newly developed line of Yachts, Selene (Greek mythical moon goddess). The first Selene Yacht was delivered to the US Pacific Northwest in 1999. Today there are over 400 Selenes cruising throughout the world and are highly respected for their seaworthiness, safety, and comfort.

Initially, the Jet Tern Marine/Selene shipyard was located in Dongguan, China, an area known for its high-end furniture industry, providing local sourcing for the yachts’ luxurious interiors. Highest quality materials such as woods, veneers, fabrics, granite, and glass along with skilled craftsmen were readily available and a local climate ideal for fiberglass lamination production. An in-house stainless-steel workshop was added in 2006 to fabricate equipment utilizing premium polished 316 steel, reducing production costs and for higher quality control.

Another Selene Yachts shipyard was opened in 2008, in Zhuhai on the water, near Macau. The new facility included two 150,000 sq ft work buildings equipped with a total of four 100-ton cranes, and a 32,000 sq ft warehouse making it the largest single production facility in Asia, able to accommodate 36 sets of molds for boats in production. Larger vessels were built in Zhuhai and smaller yachts in Dongguan, and together built nearly 400 yachts ranging from 38ft to 103ft in length, over a 20-year period. In 2017, the company decided to consolidate all operations to the Zhuhai shipyard, as it was a superior facility and located on the water for easier testing of new builds.

As of 2018, all Selene Yachts are built in Zhuhai. The Jet Tern Marine Zhuhai shipyard is one of the best equipped and largest facilities building FRP (fiberglass) yachts in the world, with the capacity to build nearly 100 yachts a year. Even with a high production volume, Selene Yachts remain semi-custom, hand-crafted, solid vessels, produced efficiently and priced advantageously. Selene Yachts are designed and built from start to finish in the Zhuhai factory, a “vertical” operation, and do not subcontract work to third-party facilities or so-called partner shipyards. Another Selene Yachts advantage is the 20+ year experience designing and building true ocean-going passagemaker trawlers versus recreational trawlers.

Selenes are built with stronger fuel-efficient, deep full-displacement hulls, watertight bulkheads and doors, full skeg-protected propeller and rudder, backup bilge pumps, large scuppers, continuous duty engines, and automatic engine room fire extinguisher systems, Portuguese bridge and high bulwarks, forward raked pilothouse windows for greater visibility, large storage spaces for spare parts and provisioning, escape hatches in critical locations, solid hull lamination below the waterline (no foam or core), covered aft deck, cockpit and side decks, and beautiful teak or cherrywood cabinetry—just some of the features that differentiate Selene Yachts trawlers and instill confidence in sailors to power across any ocean or sea in safety and comfort.

Understanding the dual roles of captain and engineer often required of the long-range cruising trawler owner, the Selene Yachts engine rooms have been designed to provide good access, headroom, and plenty of space around mechanical and other systems for ease of maintenance and service. First-quality brands are installed for electrical components such as batteries, generators, inverters, chargers, light fixtures and more. As a semi-custom builder, the Selene Yachts engineering team stands ready to assist owners with their yacht’s electrical system and level of redundancy required for their cruising plans, in fact, owner and designer Howard Chen, Naval Architect, personally remains involved with every new project and along with his staff, is attentive to the owner throughout the build.

Today owners can opt for a classic exterior and interior design or a new, more modern exterior and interior, (or a combination of modern and classic) designed by world-renowned Dutch superyacht designer, Guido de Groot, of the award-winning studio, Guido de Groot Design B.V. located in Leiden, Holland. De Groot specializes in high-quality, innovative designs appreciated for their purity and harmony in both power and sailing luxury superyachts. Selene Yachts offers owners the choice of either Classic or de Groot lines for the same length vessel.

In 2017 a strategic consortium was developed by Jet Tern Marine, builder of Selene Yachts, and Kingship Marine, builder of aluminum custom yachts in Southern China, to form SCSA—Southern China Superyachts Alliance. Kingship will be building aluminum hulls, decks, and superstructures, while Jet Tern will be doing interior work—fit and finish; joinery, varnishing, decorating, furnishing, electrical, mechanical systems, and electronics commissioning. Jet Tern Marine models, like the Selene 128 to the 168 Ocean Explorer, are designed for fiberglass or aluminum construction, depending on the owner’s requirements. SCSA is able to take on custom superyacht projects for world-class designers like Guido de Groot, Bill Dixon, or Ivan Erdevicki. SCSA, with two major shipyards and the Selene Design Studio (SDS) is a strong contender in China’s growing superyacht industry.

Selene Yachts have come a long way in a relatively short 20-year timespan, since the first trawler was shipped in 1999! Three new lines have been added, combining the design talents of Howard Chen’s SDS (Selene Design Studio) with the world-renowned Guido de Groot superyacht design studio, expanding beyond the classic passage-making trawler market. The following is a brief overview of Selene Yachts current lines available in the US market:

Selene Classic Explorers (45, 49, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 66,72) – combine old world craftsmanship with new world technology. Capable of 3,000 NM range and 10 knot cruise speed. Ideal for Great Loop, ocean passage, islands, and coastal cruising.

Selene Voyager (38 Aft Cabin, 42 Aft Cabin, 42 Sedan, 50 Sedan) – newer design based on original Selene Archer hull. Exceptional design combined with masterful customized craftsmanship.

Selene Ocean Explorer (60, 72, 78, 92, 128) – expedition type boats that can still be operated by a small crew. Can be customized for owners or designed for charter use.

Selene Yachts Bi-Hull Ocean Explorer (70) – speedy new bi-hull passagemaker for exploring shallower island waters and lagoons.

Selene Ocean Clipper (59) – New de Groot designed semi-displacement hull for faster cruising without losing bluewater capability. Twin engines push 19-knot speed.

Artemis (43, 48, 56) – Motor Yachts designed by Guido de Groot. New Howard Chen/de Groot designed line from 43 to 86 ft. Innovative, stylish, fast yachts with twin engines for up to 27 knots.

With over 400 Selene Passagemaker Trawlers built and cruising around the world, there are currently only 5 models listed in the yacht brokerage MLS that are available in the USA. Pricing ranges from about $325,000 for a 2004 Selene 36 to about $1,195,000 for a 2006 Selene 62 Pilothouse model. They do tend to hold their value.

Used Selene Yachts For Sale

At the time of this writing, there are reportedly some 400 Selene yachts cruising in various parts of the world, with about 75 used vessels, from 36 to 92 feet LOA, listed for sale worldwide. Selene yachts are noteworthy for several reasons. 1) They employ full-displacement hull forms. 2) Most of them, particularly in the smaller sizes are fitted with a single propulsion engine and screw, indicating a priority consideration to long-range capabilities.  3) Selene yachts were developed, built, marketed, and sold by a Taiwan-based firm, jet Tern Marine — in contrast to being built on sub-contract by an Asian shipyard for a western marketing and sales firm. 

(Seattle Yachts provides access to thousands of boats and yachts available on the market today. These new and used yachts for sale around the world and on the MLS may or may not be listed with Seattle Yachts, however we have the expert team on staff to help you with the purchase of any brand or type of boat.)

Full-Displacement Hulls

Full-displacement hull forms are generally able to carry larger payloads (fuel, water, stores) for a given length LOA than either semi-displacement or planing hull forms, because of the greater underwater volume full-displacement hull forms have relative to their length. Thus, full-displacement hull forms tend to be favored among yachtsmen who seek to make long, open-water passages since they will be away from land-based logistical support during such passages. Full-displacement hull forms are also thought by some to be somewhat better sea-boats (more sea-kindly) — although there is plenty of expressed opinion that favors semi-displacement hulls in yachts under 50 meters long.

The drawback to a full-displacement hull form for a yacht is that it is supported primarily by buoyant forces and, therefore, moves through the water, instead of being pushed up onto the top of the water by hydrodynamic lifting forces, as happens with a planing hull. The result is that a full-displacement hull faces a steeply rising, almost vertical resistance curve as it approaches its “hull speed” —

  (Vkn = 1.34 x √LWLfeet).

All of which means that a yacht 40 feet on her loaded waterline can attain, as a practical matter, a maximum speed of about 9 knots. That kind of top speed is satisfactory to most yachtsmen for long offshore passages, but many want to be able to go faster than that alongshore and when island-hopping. So, it all comes down to whether you enjoy spending time at sea or whether being at sea is for you simply a means to and end, which is exploration of shoreside and inland sites.

Single-Screw Propulsion

A single propeller on centerline, driven by a single engine, is generally a more economical rig to operate, both in terms of initial and ongoing costs and in terms of fuel consumption per nautical mile traveled. That is why a high percentage of commercial vessels are powered in that manner.

In smaller yachts, given their limited capacity for carrying fuel, the increased efficiency of a single-screw set-up often makes the difference between being able to make usefully long passages on the yacht’s own bottom versus having to transport the yacht as deck cargo on a large ship, in order to cruise distant waters. And with the modern availability of emergency power from a genset via electro-hydraulic transmission to the single prop shaft, as well as the common use these days of bow and stern thrusters, many of the drawbacks of single-screw propulsion systems have been eliminated.

Jet Tern Marine, which manufactures the Selene line, was founded in 1998 in Taiwan, and at that time, set up a shipyard in Dongguan, China. The first Selene was delivered to a U.S. buyer in 1999. Later, in 2008, Jet Tern opened a second shipyard in Zhuhai, China, near Macau, 70 miles from Dongguan. The Zhuhai shipyard was quite modern and incorporated two workshops, A & B, approximately 150,000 square feet each, plus a 32,000 square foot warehouse.

When you’re looking for a yacht, it always makes sense to deal though a broker who has in-depth experience with the type and brand you’re considering. Several members of the Seattle Yachts brokerage team are fully familiar with Selene yachts and some have been to jet Tern Marine in Zhuhai to see them under construction. Our team is also familiar with all the other yacht yards in the Zhuhai area. For that reason, we can put our wealth of knowledge, expertise, and experience to work for you, whether you’re looking for or at a Selene or one of the other long-distance cruising yachts available. Call or email us to talk more.

If you have an interest in Selene, we also recommend you read our guide to  Buying and Owning A Trawler Yacht . It's quite extensive and really offers several tips on the buying process and ownership experience.

Selene 57 – High Spirit 360° Tour

Listing Broker

Rob Piwowarczyk +1 720.490.5662 [email protected]

Selene yachts has been building and designing ocean going passagemakers for over 20 years. Today over 400 Selene trawlers are cruising the oceans. Selene trawlers are known for their graceful and elegant lines, beautiful teak interiors, top notch craftsmanship and stout full displacement hulls. High Spirit carries on this tradition in fine style. Her current owners have carefully upgraded and improved her to meet their own high standards.

High Spirit has not been left tied up at the dock like so many boats, but rather she has been busy cruising up and down the U. S. East coast. From Halifax, Nova Scotia down to the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic, she is a well-traveled trawler.

High Spirit is well equipped with numerous systems to take you to your destination in comfort and safety. Improvements in the last two years include a hull paint job, new upholstery, new galley refrigerator/freezer, new laundry appliances, a new water maker and more! Redundant electronics assist with navigating.  Bow and stern thrusters as well as active fin stabilizers help with handling and provide a more comfortable ride. A close review of her equipment selections will show you she has been outfitted for long ranging adventures. A full-time captain is aboard to look after and care for her, keeping her fresh, active and raring to go. She is even equipped with a wing/get home engine, not a common option on a Selene . Whether your plans include coastal or long-range cruising, High Spirit will take you there in style.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
