2026 Trawlerfest Ft. Lauderdale (VIP Sign Up + Discount Code)

Tour TWO Brand-new Selene Yachts at Trawlerfest Ft. Lauderdale 2026 (+ discount code)

Much like at Trawlerfest Baltimore and Trawlerfest Anacortes, Selene Yachts Americas will have a major presence at Trawlerfest Ft. Lauderdale this year. In addition to being an event sponsor and providing expert seminars (see below), we will be showcasing two beautiful examples of our best-selling ocean-going trawlers during the ‘In-Water’ portion of the show  (February 26th-28th).

The 2026 54 Classic Explorer we are showing features a galley-down configuration and wide body layout to maximize the space in the salon area. It also has a single engine with get-home for optimized efficiency.

Likewise, the 2025 60 Classic Explorer we will be showing also features a galley down configuration and single engine with get-home. However, by choosing a standard salon layout, the owner has more access outside through both port and starboard sidedecks. Additional outdoor space is created through an extended swim platform. You can get a sneak peek of it here:

In addition to exceptional woodwork and craftsmanship all around, a common feature on both boats is Howard Chen’s patented Deep Hull design, which allows for a more spacious engine room. Taken together, these vessels highlight the amount of customization available through Selene and the fact that no two Selenes yachts have ever been built alike.

While our new Selene Ocean Explorer line is getting a lot of well-deserved buzz these days (and a feature in the upcoming issue of Passagemaker), the Classic Explorer is the model we built our reputation on. It is also the model that the YouTube duo ‘The 71 Percent’ are currently piloting across the Pacific Ocean.

For those looking to learn more about trawlers and boating while at Trawlerfest Ft. Lauderdale, Selene President Wayne Goldman will be leading a pair of practical seminars:
