She looks like what she is: an ocean going vessel first.
The raised pilothouse and Portuguese bridge are not styling cues borrowed from smaller yachts, they are genuine working features, giving real protection and visibility for long passages. A bulbous bow improves efficiency at displacement speeds, while large side windows set into the hull and stainless steel anchor pockets bring a more contemporary edge to what is otherwise a serious, purposeful profile. Built in steel with an aluminium superstructure, the 92 is constructed the way a long range vessel should be, for strength and longevity rather than for show. The result is a yacht that looks every bit as capable as her specification suggests, with nothing about her exterior design left to decoration alone.
Range, not speed, is the 92’s real performance figure.
A 10 knot cruise and 14 knot top speed are modest numbers by motor yacht standards, and deliberately so. The displacement hull is built to cover distance efficiently rather than quickly, carrying 20,000 litres of fuel for a 4,000 nautical mile range, enough to cross an ocean on a single tank with a genuine margin in reserve. Twin Caterpillar C18 engines come as standard, with Twin MAN V8 or Twin Cummins QSM11 units offered as alternatives, giving an owner a real choice of powertrain depending on how the yacht will be used. This is a yacht built to go a long way, comfortably, and then to go a long way again.
The 92 is engineered by the same philosophy that shaped her hull.
Howard Chen’s naval architecture underpins a hull designed specifically for efficient long range displacement cruising, and Selene’s own engineering team has built the systems around it to match: robust steel construction, an aluminium superstructure to keep weight and corrosion in check, and machinery specified for years of hard offshore use rather than occasional weekend running. The approach favours proven, serviceable equipment over anything experimental, a sensible choice for a yacht intended to cross oceans far from a shipyard. It is this consistency between hull, systems and intent that gives the 92 her particular character, unhurried, capable, and built to be trusted far from land.
Scale below deck matches her presence above it.
Four cabins sleep eight guests in comfortable, private accommodation, laid out by Selene’s own design studio to suit long stretches of time aboard rather than short weekends. A crew of four is carried separately, large enough to run the yacht properly on an extended voyage without crowding the owner’s own spaces. At 7.1 metres, her beam is generous even by explorer yacht standards, and that extra width shows in room sizes that feel closer to a much larger yacht than her 28 metre length might suggest. It is accommodation built around genuine liveability, for owners who intend to spend real time aboard rather than simply visit.
The 92 marked a genuine step up for the Ocean Explorer series.
Developed by an international team of naval architects and design consultants under Howard Chen’s direction, she extended Selene’s long range philosophy into the 24 metre plus category for the first time, bringing proper displacement cruising credentials to a noticeably larger platform. The first hull debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show, a measure of how seriously the series was taken from the outset. Day use for up to 12 guests, accommodation for eight and a draught of 2.3 metres round out a specification built for genuine distance cruising rather than marina life. For an owner who wants scale, range and proven engineering in a single hull, the 92 remains a considered choice.
