Selene 60 Ocean Explorer
Most owners pilot a 60 without additional help — the space of a larger yacht with the handling of a smaller one.
As part of our new Ocean Explorer series, the Selene 60 Ocean Explorer features a more open layout, larger windows and sleeker exterior lines than a comparable Selene Classic Explorer.
However, beyond the contemporary look and interior atmosphere, the Ocean Explorer maintains the performance and safety trademarks of every Selene. This includes a powerful raised pilothouse, a Portuguese bridge, and a seaworthy Deep Hull designed for long-range yachting.
Featuring three luxury staterooms and a choice of two or three heads, the Selene 60 Ocean Explorer perfectly balances the spaciousness and long-range performance of larger yachts with the ease of operation of smaller vessels. In fact, most owners are able to easily pilot their Selene 60’s without additional help.
Like all Selene yachts, the Selene 60 Ocean Explorer can be customised to your needs and lifestyle. In addition to a choice of propulsion system and interior finishings, there are three deck configurations to choose from: Full Wide Body, Port-Side Wide Body, and Standard Two Side Decks.
Put simply, by combining contemporary luxury, traditional craftsmanship and advanced engineering, the Selene Ocean Explorer 60 creates a new benchmark for passage-making trawler yachts.

Key features of the Selene 60 Ocean Explorer
Bulbous bow
Cuts pitching and wetted-surface drag, which on 57.5 t of displacement is felt rather than argued about. It is part of why the yard quotes 3,000+ nm @ 7.5 kn.
Electric stabilisers at anchor
Holds her level in a rolling anchorage — 5.44 m of beam is stable under way and still rolls at rest, which is the difference between staying the night and moving on.
Electric or hydraulic bow & stern thrusters
Bow and stern together turn her on the spot, so 19.83 m goes into a finger berth without a second pair of hands. Electric or hydraulic, specified to suit the rest of the boat.
Hydraulic davit
Launches and recovers the tender without a crane or a favour, which is what makes a tender something you actually use.
Chilled water air-conditioning
Chilled water rather than split units: one plant, quieter, and it scales to 4 cabins incl. crew.
Watermaker
Makes fresh water at sea, so the 1,892 l tank is a starting point rather than a limit on a passage of 3,000+ nm @ 7.5 kn.
Navigation package of your choice
One electronics supplier at the raised pilothouse helm, chosen at specification — radar, plotter, sounder and autopilot talking to each other on a boat that will hold 10 kn for days at a time.
Maretron vessel monitoring
Every tank, battery and bilge on one screen, and on your phone — the boat tells you what is happening rather than waiting to be asked.
Lithium house batteries (Victron or Mastervolt)
Deep, fast-charging house capacity: a night at anchor with the air-conditioning running and the generator off.
Solar panels on hardtop
Panels on the hardtop keep the house bank topped without running the generator, which is quieter for you and cheaper over a season.
Fuel polishing system
Cleans and recirculates the tanks — 7,570 l single / 6,813 l twin is a great deal of fuel to trust to whatever came out of the last dock hose.
Optional hydraulic swim platform
Hydraulic, so it doubles as a tender lift and a boarding step at whatever height the dock happens to be.
Specification varies by build and by market. Ask us what is standard on a European hull.
