Selene 49 “Ruth Pearl II” – Proven Bluewater Passage Maker | Featured by The 71 Percent
Step aboard one of the most talked-about Selene 49s in the world—Ruth Pearl II, the very vessel followed by thousands through The 71 Percent’s Paciﬁc crossing journey. This is not just a yacht; it’s a proven, ocean-going platform that has already demonstrated what most boats only promise.
Built by the renowned Selene shipyard, a leader in long-range trawler yachts since 1998, the Selene 49 blends timeless craftsmanship with true passagemaking capability.

A Yacht with a Story—and the Miles to Back It Up
This Selene 49 has earned its reputation the hard way—crossing open ocean, navigating remote island chains, and supporting full-time live-aboard life. Documented extensively online, this yacht has completed major legs of a Paciﬁc crossing from Australia toward North America, showcasing real-world reliability, comfort, and eﬃciency.

Designed for Serious Cruising
The Selene 49 is purpose-built for long-range exploration, oﬀering:
• Full-displacement hull for eﬃciency and stability oﬀshore
• Long-range fuel capacity for extended passages
• Protected pilothouse with excellent visibility for passagemaking
• Wide side decks and secure walkaround design
• Engine room access designed for owner-operator maintenance
• Classic Selene interior with warm joinery and liveaboard comfort
‍
Whether you’re planning the Great Loop, coastal cruising, or bluewater passages, this yacht is engineered to take you there safely and comfortably.

Liveaboard Capability Meets Ocean-Going Strength
One of the standout features of this particular vessel is its real-world livability. As showcased by its current high-proﬁle owners, the yacht supports:
• Extended oﬀ-grid cruising
• Eﬃcient onboard systems for long passages
• Comfortable accommodations for full-time living
• Ample storage for provisions, tools, and spare parts
‍

Entering the salon through the Dutch door, you are greeted by lush Mahogany interior woodwork that reﬂects the world-class craftsmanship of Selene Yachts. To port is an L-shaped dinette with a custom table, and to starboard is a settee that converts into a berth. There are storage drawers underneath both settee's. There are end tables with storage drawers on each side of the starboard sofa settee. Both seating areas are ﬁnished in leather, and the entire sole of the vessel features teak and holly.

Moving forward, the well-equipped galley oﬀers abundant lower and overhead storage. To the port and center of the galley, you will ﬁnd access to the navigation pilothouse and the interior ﬂybridge staircase. The pilothouse includes a leather-appointed L-shaped settee which is a great place to relax while cruising. There is a watch berth behind said arrangement. To port is a Dutch door that provides direct access to the Portuguese bridge and foredeck.

The staterooms are also accessible from the galley area. Descending into the stateroom area, you will ﬁnd a twin bunk stateroom to starboard. Slightly forward and to port, there is a twin side by side stateroom. This stateroom can be converted into a full size berth by moving the nightstand inboard and sliding the berths together.

The owner's suite is forward. The queen size berth is oriented at an angle to port to maximize space. All staterooms and living areas oﬀer live-aboard storage.
