2025 Annapolis Sailboat Show (October 9-12) @ City Dock

Why would a luxury trawler builder like Selene Yachts take part in a sailboat show?

The answer is simple: Most trawler owners started out on sailboats. As vessels that prioritize the slow life and being at one with the sea, trawlers are a natural choice for sailboat enthusiasts who are ready to go further distances or spend more time at sea.

Selene owner Cindy Covington beautifully describes her own transition from sailor to trawler captain:

“I grew up sailing and will always cherish the calm joy of raising the sails, silencing the engine, and feeling the wind carry the boat. But as life changes, so do our choices. For us, it came down to something different: the ability to journey through unfamiliar waters with greater confidence, less dependence on the weather, and more focus on the journey itself. A trawler gives us the security and comfort we need for long passages, while still allowing us to chase new horizons.”  – Cindy Covington (Selene 53 ‘Kallisto’)

To support sailboat enthusiasts who are considering a similar shift to the comfort and long-distance ease of a trawler, Selene Americas will have a booth at the upcoming Annapolis Sailboat show. Located at Tent M5 and staffed by ex-sailors and current trawler owners, the Selene Americas team is excited to get back to our roots while introducing the exciting trawler lifestyle to this new audience.

And with our new Annapolis office just a short water taxi ride away from the venue, we’ll also be providing tours of several Selene Classic yachts across the harbor. To schedule your VIP tour, click the link below. All VIP tour participants will receive a free Selene gift bag.
