About

Step aboard this solid 2003 Selene 53 Ocean Trawler—a nice example of one of the most respected passagemakers in her class. Designed for comfort, efficiency, and reliability, this yacht delivers the ideal blend of classic craftsmanship and serious bluewater capability.

Recently benefiting from a complete Cummins main engine rebuild (April 2025), a new 12.5 kW Westerbeke generator (Nov 2025), fresh bottom paint (Nov 2025), and overhauled stabilizers (Nov 2025), she’s ready to cruise with a few updates to her electronics. Her warm teak interior, three-stateroom layout, stabilizers, and bow and stern thrusters make her equally suited for extended voyaging or elegant coastal cruising.

Built by Jet Tern Marine with Selene’s renowned attention to detail, it includes proof of proper importation into the U.S., offering peace of mind for her next owner. This is a rare opportunity to own a proven ocean trawler that combines timeless style, seaworthy design, and the comfort of home—wherever your next horizon lies.
