Selene Americas S3 Promise

Since forming Selene Yachts Americas, we’ve asked countless owners and customers the same question: “How can we best support you?” Responses have included everything from desired boat options and a dedicated service network, to clarity around warranties, and even support for Selene Community events.

The result of all this great feedback is our Selene S³ Promise. Broken down into Safety, Style, and Support, the Selene S³ Promise details our dedication to exceeding expectations at each stage of your Selene journey.

Safety. Style. Support. Everything that makes a Selene yours for life.

Safety: Engineered for Peace of Mind

Safety is never an afterthought with Selene. As vessels built for serious passagemaking, Selene yachts are engineered from the keel up with your safety and security in mind. Every new Selene includes:

Ocean-rated Hulls: Built for maximum strength and durability, our hulls have been tested and proven to easily withstand extreme offshore conditions

Full Keel Stability: Your Selene’s full keel hull not only protects the vessel’s running gear and rudder, it provides increased stability, comfort, and ease of use during all of your adventures

Redundant Systems: With efficient commercial-rated engines and redundant systems for power and navigation, your Selene will get you back home—safely and reliably

Remote Monitoring: All vessels are fitted with remote monitoring of major mechanical systems to allow for instant troubleshooting

Safety-first Ergonomics: From wide walkarounds, high bulwarks and protected helm views, to the practical Portuguese Bridge and ample engine room access, every aspect of a Selene is designed with your safety in mind

Heavy Duty Hardware: Selene fits every yacht with only the safest and most durable equipment, such as stainless steel Ultra anchors and heavy-duty davits

Constant Innovation: Every new Selene is equipped with the latest in safety, navigation and power technology—as well as systems that function simply and seamlessly

Selene-Owned Shipyard Quality: By owning our own factory and overseeing each build from start to finish, Selene consistently maintains the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality assurance

Style: Timeless, Tailored, and Truly Yours

Pride in boat ownership comes from knowing that your vessel is uniquely your own. In addition to customization options and peerless craftsmanship, Selene defines ‘style’ as:

Timeless Trawler Performance: With its time-tested balance of form and function and full-displacement hull, your Selene will give you a range of at least 3,000 nautical miles at 6 to 7 knots in normal conditions

Custom Layouts: From placement of galley and flow of spaces, to the number of staterooms, every Selene is built to your needs and lifestyle

‘Classic’ or ‘Ocean’: Style is personal, which is why we offer the same ocean-tested hulls in both contemporary (Ocean Explorer) and timeless (Classic Explorer) designs

Choice of Finishes: From flooring and handrails, to tables, counter-tops and stateroom finishes, Selene provides a range of high-quality woods and materials for you to choose from  

Refined Craftsmanship: From tailor-made cabinetry and metalwork to refined fiberglass finishing, all Selene details are overseen by experienced craftspeople

Factory Visits: Whether you want to select materials, consult with Howard Chen, or simply see your boat take shape, owners are encouraged to visit Selene’s state-of-the-art shipyard 

Interior and Exterior Spaces: Every Selene provides ample interior and exterior space for living and entertaining, including spaces that can be easily converted for multiple purposes

The Trawler Lifestyle: From luxury appliances and well-appointed interiors to unsurpassed stability, quiet operations, and highly efficient low-wake cruising, Selene celebrates a lifestyle that is comfortable and highly intentional

Support: From Ship to Shore
