The 2008 Selene 53 "Felix" is a true blue-water trawler designed for owners who value long-range capability, comfort, and craftsmanship without compromise. Built by Jet Tern Marine and designed by renowned naval architect Howard Chen, the Selene 53 blends rugged passagemaking performance with refined luxury, making it equally at home crossing oceans or cruising the coast in comfort.
Her full-displacement, hand-laid fiberglass hull with deep forefoot and protective keel delivers exceptional stability, efficiency, and confidence in all conditions. A single reliable diesel engine, paired with impressive fuel capacity, allows for extended cruising at economical speeds, while a well-engineered engine room provides outstanding access for maintenance and systems management.
Inside, the Selene 53 offers a warm, inviting interior finished in rich teak joinery and thoughtful details throughout. The spacious salon features panoramic windows, comfortable seating, and a beautifully crafted dining area—perfect for relaxing or entertaining underway. The well-equipped galley is designed for real cruising, with ample storage, quality appliances, and safe passage in a seaway.
Below deck, the Selene 53 typically features a generous owner’s stateroom with ensuite head, along with additional guest accommodations that provide comfort and privacy for extended voyages. Each space is intelligently laid out to maximize livability, ventilation, and storage.
On deck, wide side decks, sturdy handrails, and a protected cockpit ensure safe movement around the vessel, while the expansive pilothouse offers excellent visibility, a commanding helm, and a comfortable watch-keeping environment for long passages.
Renowned for their durability, resale value, and owner satisfaction, Selene yachts have earned a global reputation among serious cruisers. The Selene 53 stands as a proven passagemaker—ideal for adventurers seeking a capable, elegant yacht that is truly built to go the distance.
