Shipyard News: Three Selenes, Countless Adventures

Three Selenes, Countless Adventures: Dean and Theresa Klein’s Next Chapter with SaltHeart

For Dean and Theresa Klein, owning a Selene is about more than the yacht itself. It’s about the extraordinary places it can take them, the people they share those experiences with, and a lifetime of memories made along the way.

After years of cruising Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, Dean and Theresa are embarking on an exciting new chapter: building their third Selene, a 64 Ocean Explorer, hull 64-24, named SaltHeart, with delivery anticipated in 2028.

Their Selene journey began in 2011 with a Selene 53, hull 53-19, which they owned for three years as its second owners. In 2014, they purchased a Selene 62, hull 62-03, originally owned by Eugene Chau, becoming its third owners. More than a decade later, they continue to explore the breathtaking waters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest aboard their Selene 62.

Dean and Theresa believe in keeping their boats, caring for them, and, most importantly, using them to travel and explore. After 46 years of marriage, they consider their time aboard their Selenes among the most special memories of their lives, sharing unforgettable adventures with family and friends.

For their third Selene, they have a clear vision: simplicity, comfort, and ease of operation that will allow them to continue cruising well into their golden years. Their new 64 Ocean Explorer will reflect everything they’ve learned from years on the water, creating the ideal yacht for their next chapter.

Reflecting on the craftsmanship and dedication of the Selene shipyard team, Theresa shared a heartfelt message:

“Because of the work of the shipyard craftsmen, we have had the most incredible adventures. Some of our guests have said their time in Alaska with us on our Selene has been life changing.”

Her words remind us that the work performed at the shipyard goes far beyond building yachts. It creates opportunities for extraordinary experiences and memories that last a lifetime.

For the Selene team, there is no greater compliment than an owner returning for a second yacht, let alone a third.

As construction continues on SaltHeart, Dean and Theresa eagerly anticipate welcoming their new yacht in 2028 and continuing their adventures together.

Three Selenes, 46 years of marriage, countless adventures, and many more horizons ahead. We are honored to be part of their journey. - Corrin & Joe Crowley
