Build Your BoatOver 25 Years of Exceptional Craftsmanship
Founded by architect and boat designer Howard Chen in 1998, Selene Yachts has quickly established itself as a leading global brand in luxury long-range trawler yachts, also known as ‘passage-makers.’
By combining the latest technical advances with artful design and handcrafted quality, Selene provides each customer with a yacht of exceptional seaworthiness and craftsmanship.
So, it’s no wonder that over 450 Selene yachts now make the ocean their home – and that many more are on the way.

We shopped for our dream boat for about five years and considered many other brands of trawlers. When we first saw a Selene, we fell in love with its style and quality. We then kept coming back to Selene for its beauty, comfort, durability, and the ability to customize - as we really wanted the optional midship master stateroom.

CLASSIC EXPLORER
The Selene Classic Explorer is the trawler yacht Selene built its reputation on. With timeless lines, warm, rich interiors and ocean-going capabilities, this is what many envision when they hear ‘passage-maker’.
While the hull design and performance match the Ocean Explorer series, the Classic Explorer is tailored for owners seeking a yacht that reflects the enduring elegance of Selene’s maritime legacy.
Over the years, improvements to systems, design features and layout have continuously optimized performance and comfort without compromising its
classic charm. Models range in size from 46 to 66 feet.
OCEAN EXPLORER
The Selene Ocean Explorer series offers the same trusted design and performance as the Classic Explorer, with a modern twist. Ranging from 56 to 92 feet, the Ocean Explorer line features a more open layout, larger windows, and sleeker exterior lines to create a bright, contemporary on board atmosphere.
Delighting owners with its spacious interiors and minimalist finishes, the Ocean Explorer is already demonstrating that there is more than one way to make a legendary trawler.
Like the Classic Explorer, these yachts can be customized
for your unique lifestyle.
