“Follow the Dream” - A New Selene 60 Owner Talks About Their Trawler Journey
“It just takes me away to a place where I think everybody should be able to find in their life.” - ‘Kaimana’ Owner Brian Purdy

Join Brian Purdy, owner of a brand-new Selene 60 Classic Explorer, and Paul Cifka, CMO and cofounder of Selene Yachts Americas, as they cruise the ICW en route to Trawlerfest in Ft. Lauderdale.
A lifelong boater, Brian has spent over 20 years dreaming and researching how to circumnavigate the globe- which he hopes to do alongside his sons. Realizing that life doesn’t wait, he made the decision to move forward—and chose Selene to bring that vision to life.
In the video, Brian discusses:
• Why he chose to purchase a new Selene
• His experience throughout the build process
• Technical insights behind the yacht
• The level of support he received from the Selene team
• His future cruising plans
Brian’s new yacht is affectionately named Kaimana, meaning “power of the ocean.” (‘Kai’: ocean or sea, and ‘Mana’: spiritual power, energy, or strength). Together, Kaimana represents the divine power of the ocean—a fitting name for a vessel built for global adventure.
We are honored to be part of Brian’s journey in turning a lifelong dream into reality.
