The 42 Voyager Aft-cabin is the boat that made the Selene 40 a Great Loop fixture, redrawn. Selene added the Cruisers Stern, which houses the steering quadrant and the battery banks and lengthens the waterline, so the hull carries its 18.6 tonnes more efficiently than the previous generation did.
The aft-cabin plan is the reason to buy her. An island queen sits aft with its own head and a stand-up shower stall, a V-berth forward has a second head and shower, and between them the saloon gained more than two feet over the 40. That extra length pays for a full size refrigerator in the galley and a settee that seats a real dinner party around the Selene hide-a-leaf table.
Outside, the deck is laid out for owners who handle their own lines. Wide walkaround decks, a large cockpit and a foredeck built around a heavy stainless bollard, with the ground tackle arranged to deploy and recover cleanly. A deeper keel improves tracking and a larger rudder gives control at low speed, which is what matters in a lock or a crowded fairway.
A single 230 horsepower Cummins, 2,271 litres of fuel and an 11 knot top end make this a coastal cruiser with long legs rather than a fast boat. Bow thruster and windlass are standard. Owners run them on the Great Loop, in the Pacific Northwest, around the Balearics and through Southeast Asia.

Her stern is the signature, not an afterthought.
Selene redrew the 40’s transom for this generation, swapping it for what the yard calls the Cruisers Stern: a longer stern that houses the steering quadrant and the battery banks aft rather than amidships and lengthens the waterline in the process. The hull carries its 18.6 tonnes more efficiently for it, and the silhouette reads as purposeful rather than pretty, a working trawler profile with a flybridge for open water and warm afternoons. At 13.8 metres on a 4.4 metre beam, she is compact enough to handle alone and long enough in the water to hold a genuine sea-keeping pace. Nothing about her lines is decorative. Each one is there to make the next few thousand miles easier.
The aft-cabin plan is the reason to buy her.
An island queen sits aft with its own head and a stand-up shower stall, genuinely separate from the rest of the boat and the quietest berth on board. A V-berth forward carries a second head and shower, so two couples, or a family of four, never share a bathroom. Between them, the saloon gained more than two feet over the 40, length that pays for a full-size refrigerator in the galley and a settee that seats a proper dinner party around Selene’s own hide-a-leaf table. Two genuine cabins and four berths is not a generous number for 13.8 metres of trawler, but every one of those metres has gone into livability rather than show.
On deck, she is built for owners who handle their own lines.
Wide walkaround decks run the full length of the hull, so moving forward to the bow or aft to the swim platform never means climbing over gear. A large cockpit gives crew and guests somewhere to work or relax without crowding the saloon doors, and the foredeck is built around a heavy stainless bollard, with the ground tackle arranged to deploy and recover cleanly rather than fouling on retrieval. Bow thruster and windlass are both standard, not options to specify later, which matters on a boat her owners are expected to run short-handed through locks, narrow channels and crowded marinas from the Great Loop to the Balearics.
She tracks like a boat built to be trusted, not hurried.
A deeper keel than the 40’s improves directional stability in a following sea, and a larger rudder gives her more authority at low speed exactly where a trawler needs it, threading a lock, holding position in a crowded fairway, or coming alongside in a crosswind. None of this shows up on a specification sheet, but it is the difference between a boat that feels like work and one that feels like a boat. At an unhurried 11 knots, she is not trying to outrun weather. She is built to sit inside a passage plan and let the owner enjoy the crossing rather than endure it.
A single engine and a full tank are the whole strategy.
One 230 horsepower Cummins diesel and 2,271 litres of fuel define her as a long-range coastal cruiser rather than a fast boat, and that is deliberate. Selene owners run this generation on the Great Loop, through the Pacific Northwest, around the Balearics and across Southeast Asia, itineraries measured in weeks and fuel stops rather than hours. A single engine means one set of spares, one maintenance routine and one less thing to go wrong a long way from a chandlery. For a couple planning a season rather than a weekend, that simplicity, not speed, is what makes the mileage possible.
