The Selene 54 is a magnificent example of a modern trawler yacht, blending timeless elegance with state-of-the-art technology to offer a truly exceptional cruising experience. Crafted by the renowned shipyard Selene, this yacht is built for those who seek both adventure and comfort on the open seas. With a length of approximately 18 meters (59 feet), the Selene 54 offers ample space for relaxation and entertainment. Its robust GRP hull ensures stability and safety in a variety of sea conditions, making it an ideal choice for long-distance journeys. The yacht is powered by a reliable John Deere 6068SFM50 engine, providing a cruising speed of 9 knots and a maximum speed of 11 knots, with a range of up to 2,000 nautical miles thanks to its large fuel capacity of 5,800 liters. The interior of the Selene 54 is designed with both luxury and functionality in mind. The spacious salon is adorned with high-quality materials and features large windows that flood the space with natural light. Accommodations include three cabins, capable of sleeping up to six guests, along with a crew cabin for two. The owner’s suite is particularly impressive, offering a generous layout with an en-suite bathroom. The yacht’s exterior spaces are equally inviting, with a flybridge that offers panoramic views and ample seating for alfresco dining. The Selene 54 is a perfect blend of classic design and modern innovation, making it a sought-after choice for discerning yacht enthusiasts who value both performance and style.

The pilothouse sits like a fortress at the heart of the deck.
A Portuguese bridge shields the pilothouse forward, a design borrowed from classic passage making trawlers and rarely seen on anything built for weekend use. Side decks run protected along the full length of the hull, letting crew move forward in a blow without exposure to open water. Above, the flybridge offers both inside and outside access, a small but telling detail that extends her usability into weather many flybridge-only yachts would simply avoid. On a 5.1 metre beam, none of this feels cramped. It reads instead as a yacht built around genuine seakeeping, not styled to resemble one.
She rolls less because her hull asks her to.
The hull carries a hard chine through her aft sections, softening forward into a round bilge amidships, a shape chosen specifically to reduce roll rather than chase top speed. That restraint pays off at a 9 knot cruise and an 11 knot maximum, modest figures that translate into genuine comfort once the sea has any weight to it. With 5,800 litres of fuel aboard, she covers 2,000 nautical miles between stops, enough for an owner to plan a season around distance rather than around the next fuel dock.
Three cabins, two heads, and a full beam owner’s suite with nowhere else to be.
The owner’s suite runs the full beam amidships, the most settled point on the boat, with its own access to the engine room below for anyone who prefers to check on the machinery without leaving their own deck. Two further cabins and two ensuite heads complete a layout that sleeps six guests in total, finished in the Selene Design Team’s choice of teak or varnished cherry, worked throughout in a style that favours warmth over polish. Crew quarters for two sit apart from the guest accommodation, a sensible division for an owner planning extended seasons rather than short charters, and day capacity runs to twelve when friends come aboard without staying the night.
The engine room is built to be lived in, not just endured.
A spiral staircase drops from beside the galley straight into a walk-in engine room with full standing headroom, a layout that turns routine checks into an easy habit rather than a chore. Jet Tern Marine fits a John Deere 6068SFM50 as the standard engine, with Cummins QSL9 and Volvo Penta D8 options available for owners with a preferred brand or support network already in place. Beyond the machinery space, an unusually generous lazarette swallows the fenders, spares and provisioning that long range cruising demands, keeping the working gear out of sight and out of the way of guests.
At eighteen metres, the Selene 54 is the range’s most complete argument for going further.
She measures 18 metres LOA on a 5.1 metre beam and draws 1.6 metres, dimensions that keep her accessible to the same marinas and anchorages as her smaller sisters while adding a full third cabin and a noticeably larger owner’s suite. Howard Chen’s naval architecture and the Selene Design Team’s interior carry straight through from the 49 and 50, so the ownership experience stays familiar even as the scale grows. Built by Jet Tern Marine to the same long range philosophy as the rest of the range, she is the model an owner chooses when a season aboard is the plan, not the exception.
