Why the Selene S3 Promise Is So Important

Selene President Wayne Goldman discusses the meaning of the Selene Americas S3 Promise: To us, "Safety", "Style" and "Support" aren't a wish list or a marketing ploy, but three parts of a sincere promise to build the best bluewater boats possible, and to support Selene adventurers wherever their trawlers take them. Whether your style is the classic trawler look, a more open European-style yacht, or just the ability to craft a trawler yacht that perfectly matches your lifestyle, Selene has the bluewater boat you're looking for.

Talking Tidal Rapids with Selene Captain Mark Tilden

Long-time Selene Trawler captain and community legend Mark Tilden discusses the risks and rewards of navigating the tidal rapids of the Pacific Northwest, which includes Southeast Alaska and British Columbia. As a regular explorer of the large tide swings and rapid currents of the famous 'Inner Passage' in his Selene 60 Classic Explorer, Mark shares how he uses tools like TimeZero to identify slack tides and safely navigate what could otherwise be treacherous waters.

Mark also touches on how many of these narrows are well worth navigating, as they hide some of the world's most beautiful scenery (Prince Louisa Sound being a prime example). Subscribe to our YouTube channel for easy access to more trawler advice and adventures.

Have you seen our newest model? Introducing the Selene 52 Ocean Explorer as mentioned in this July/August issue of Passagemaker Magazine

Inspired by feedback from the Selene owner community and blue water adventurers like the YouTube duo The 71 Percent, the new Selene 52 Ocean Explorer is the perfect marriage of capability and style.

As part of the Ocean Explorer series, this 52-foot vessel features a more open layout, larger windows and sleeker exterior lines than a comparable Selene Classic Explorer. However, beyond the contemporary look, the Ocean Explorer maintains the performance and safety trademarks of every Selene. This includes a powerful raised pilothouse, a Portuguese bridge, and a seaworthy Class A Deep Hull designed for long-range yachting.

Style is more than appearance—it's about creating a yacht that reflects the way you want to cruise.

Selene Co-founder Paul Cifka discusses what "Style" means to Selene and why it is so important to the Selene Americas S3 Promise. Style is personal. It's choosing a boat that fits the way you want to cruise, explore, entertain, and live on the water.

Some owners love the timeless lines of a classic trawler. Others prefer the open feel and modern look of an ocean trawler. And for many, it's about creating a yacht that reflects their own unique lifestyle.

In this video, Paul shares why "Style" is such an important part of the Selene Americas S3 Promise—and how Selene helps owners find the boat that feels just right for them.

Featuring the exceptional safety, comfort, and reliability that every Selene is known for, the Selene 62 provides significantly more space than a Selene 60 Classic Explorer thanks to its wider beam. Standard twin engines provide greater power, enhanced redundancy, and added confidence for long-range cruising.
