What a beautiful boat that is sir, love it, one of the things that stand out for me is how she flows from one area to the next, that would be an easy boat to live with. You guys have done a great job on her, Well done.
I bought a 2009 Selene 43 2 years ago and under went a $150,000 refit after purchase. The major differences are the engine (Cummins 350 hp in mine)’ Spledide washer dryer, hard top, and no get-home as there is no room. Updates included restoration of the interior teak by Huckins Boat Yard, all new Garmin electronics, hull paint, and Wesmar stabilizers upgrade with at anchor function and many, many other smaller changes including Starlink.
Excellent presentation! Beautiful boat. Amazed at how much you can into 45’. Agree with previous commentator; would prefer a separate wing engine. Is there a water maker? Sorry if I missed it.
Thanks for checking out videos of Selene. They are beautiful, high quality boats. We will be bringing you more vieos as we build and ddeliver more boats to North America.
Beautiful boat! It was stated that this boat is headed for the East Coast of the US. Any chance that it will be on display at the Trawlerfest in Baltimore in September?
Unfortunately not but we will have an owner's 59/60 Classic on display at Baltimore and an owner's 53 Classic at the Annapolis Powerboat show. More details here www.seleneamericas.com/news/2024-selene-boat-show-schedule-get-your-discount-code-come-see-us
Thank you for the question. The size on the washer / dryer is aprox. 23.5" while the width in the stairs and door out the salon is around 26" so you can just take out and replace.
@@SeleneAmericas I just watched a video of a Selene 60 classic, beautiful boat, one engine, it had a generator on top of the propeller shaft for the get home at 4 knots, if the boat had two small main engines could there be two get home generators for 8 knots or close ?
@@rogerbaker-vo1cd Thank you for the question, we haven't had that one before. Usually with twin engines, if one engine goes down, the other is your redundancy and would give you more power than a PTO get home system. We'd be happy to talk to you about options and your ideas and questions, please feel free to reach out to us info@seleneamericas.com
Great video. But why do I write so ? First I am sorry about syntax errors: english is not my native lanquage. During years I have seen hundreds of videos about boats/yachts and I have found my favourites again and again. I was not very interested about Selene before this video. Why ? Basic layouts of same size of boats are quite same, and for reason. It is about details and how to use spaces as efficiently as possible. Builder needs to think about hundreds of thinks and naturally seaworthines is most critical (that includes safety). What makes yachts practical are customers ideas and naturally manufacturers solutions to make those. This particular yacht is semi custom and that got my attention. Points, not in special order are: -Many gates both sides -TV on lift at saloon (it easy to hide when you prefer to watch thru windows) at good watching height. And big. -Well thought galley with enough storage including fritz and freezer. -Large cockpit where you can choose do you want to have ladders to flybridge or not (if steps from pilothouse is enough) -Good size pilothouse with pilot perth. I wonder is there space for pilot chair like a bit bigger models have... -Smart indoor way to flybridge -Large engineroom -Hydraulic get-home solution which saves a lot of space comparing to wing engine. Naturally if you damage propeller that does not help but orherwise is very good solution -Has two staterooms and two heads with separate shower areas. Amazing ! Still enough room to move easily. -Lot of floor hatches for easy access to service under floor technology -Extremely high quality work everywhere (woodwork, electronics etc) -what really stole my attention was separate washer and dryer located to place where those should be: near staterooms. Also separate dryer is really needed if you want to have dry clothes (no: compined washer-dryer does not do so). That location means that quest stateroom looses high storage but at companion way near stairs there is space for that. Also under beds. -Second very well thought space is separate utility room under saloon and indoor hatch to go there. So much storage space including extra freezers (or fritz or compinations as you wish). And lot of space for tools etc. Amazing to notice how much usable space boat has when everything is thought and also asked ideas from customers. -Staterooms are large enough for longer trips -Master stateroom has hidden ladders for hatch escape if emergency happens -Storm shutters on windows. -Portuquese bridge -Raked pilothouse front windows -Video showed a lot of details but one think I tried to find is location of fuel fills. Ideally - if split to two - near each others so you do not need to draw filltube around Fed words about video itself: -Wayne knows this yacht well and it si good starting point -As wayne said: professional videographer was not available when he got time to shoot this but still some comments -It is allways good to walk thru the yacht with videographer and explain what presenter points out before videoshooting. That way videographer knows when it is time to follow talking head and when to show points of interest. It is so booring to look talking person instead of subject (S)he talks about -It is good to videorecord separately and from many angles those points and add those to final video at edit. You can´t record too much material; you just need to think well what goes to final video -It is good to show - like Wayne did -what is behind every door and hatch. But take time to explain also well -It is good to speak as much as possible about technical solutions and used equipment because you really know even smallest details. If somethind does not interest someone, (s)he can skip that part. -When showing details do no hurry: it is interesting to see labels of individual switches and fuses and equipment. It does not matter if video gets longer; it is sales material and many see product (in this case yacht) first time. -Would be helpfull to see layouts. Jeff M uses that a lot showing where he is and that really helps to understand boat´s layout. It is good to show layouts (flybridge, main deck, lower deck ets) long enough and with good resolution. Also diagrams and lists (dimensions etc) so long that even not native english speaking (reading) viewers get time to read and understand that. -Do not repeately repeat phrases like "unbelievable", "Extreamly amazing" etc. Let viewers notice that by showing it. Ofcource it is good that presenter is broud of product but please stay on facts and tell (and show) what makes this yacht special -My comments about "how to" are not critics about Wayne; I just point what I would like to see and hear. After this veeeery long story I still want to tell that This version of Selene 45 is my dream yacht and hopelully at some day I can be broud owner.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to watch the full video in detail and provide very thoughtful feedback. We appreciate it and hope you can also become a proud Selene owner. Best wishes!
Yes, thanks for the detailed feedback. This is Wayne and I will take your suggestions seriously. We are always open to hear from our viewers and get their input so we can make these videos better for you. Thanks again.
Hi Bob - yes, the single v.s. twin engine can draw some passionate conversations. Many of our owners with a single + PTO get home or wing engine love their setups, we also have many owners who love their twins. We let the buyer decide what's best for their purposes.
We very much respect Nordhavn, great boats and owners. The feedback we get from owners and people coming aboard our boats is that the design, layouts, etc. are very different. Just different approaches but we cheer all who are hopping aboard a trawler and getting out there to explore.
Thank you for the question - it varies based on a number of factors but for customers in the USA you can find a pricing section on the website, answer a few questions and see some basic pricing. Or feel free to contact us for pricing and answers to your questions: info@SeleneAmericas.com.
@@SeleneAmericas No, thank you. With brokers that hide the price and don’t disclose all the facts I just move onto the next one. I actually had some interest in the vessel .
@@RobertDean-x5e We are not a broker, we are the distributors for Selene in North America which are semi-custom new builds and each boat is different based on the owners requirements. We/our local experts are happy to dive into your requirements and all details with anyone who is interested. Our phone 1 877-689-3979 and email info@seleneamericas.com are available if you would like to learn more about a new build.
Thanks for viewing the video in detail and taking the time to comment. We use a sturdy push button lock on this boat that many other builders use which is metal but does have a plastic component. We are happy to use a model you prefer for your boat as we customize each boat to an owner's requirements.
Thanks for chiming in. We agree that teak isn't for everyone, which is why we also offer cherry and other custom wood options. That said, teak continues to be popular with customers.
Nice boat and tour! New to the channel but if I see “Primary Stateroom” in a graphic one more time, I won’t be watching again. As he said, “master stateroom”. Lose the woke garbage.
Thanks for the nice comment. Appreciate you watching this longer video and seems you have a great attention to detail. We want the terminology to be consistent and will look to make sure that happens in future videos.
@@SeleneAmericas amazing rounded off woodworking a little too *"busy"* for me as the austere build can allow for the usual customizations that so many prefer (see comment by Selene owner above.) Practice makes perfect in these presentations and yes this does matter now big time to get this out but also now as "right" as possible.
So much for 45, love it
Thank you for the kind comment.
We love our Selene 59. This 45 is so impressive. Great Work
Glad to hear about your 59 and thanks for the nice comments.
What a fantastic boat!!
Thank you - we appreciate it and hope to say hello in person one day.

Sorry you had too spend more money!

@@robertframpton5373 I might be in Baltimore with my Selene.
If the washer and/or dryer need to be replaced, is there a procedure for getting the old out and the new in?
Thank you for the question. The size on the washer / dryer is aprox. 23.5" while the width in the stairs and door out the salon is around 26" so you can just take out and replace.
One vital thing wrong with this boat that is the fact it has a single engine and if anything goes wrong whilst in the open ocean you are screwed
Thank you for taking the time to comment. We offer a PTO get home system, wing engine or twins as options on our boats.
Love it, anyway it can come w two small main engines ?! ❤
Yes, that is an option. We customize the boats based on the owners requirements. Thank you for taking time to post your comment.
Open Ocean category A ?
Yes, all Selenes are Ocean Cat A approved.
