2008 Selene 59 Pilothouse

Alexander Marine are pleased to have SOLD the 2008 Selene 59 Pilothouse 'Northerly'.

Selene Ocean Trawler's are a world-renowned name in long range full displacement trawler yachts. Designed to take on both ocean crossings and coastal trips with ease, these beautiful vessels are a careful blend of serious blue water engineering, comfort and expert craftsmanship.

Since her launch in 2008,'Northerly' has been cared for by only three owners. Selene's are designed by the highly respected Howard Chen and built to Lloyd's Category A standards. Like her sisterships 'Northerly's' interior is graced with beautifully executed joinery, carefully selected veneers and granite countertops.

'Northerly' is a large volume vessel providing multiple entertaining zones throughout the boat for guests to enjoy. These include the weather protected cockpit complete with a moulded settee or the U-shape settee high up on the flybridge to take in the elevated views. The Selene's signature raised pilothouse, safe walk around decks, and Portuguese bridge promote a secure and functional atmosphere for guests moving around the boat - especially when weather conditions deteriorate.

This little ship can accommodate up to six guests within three cabins. The full beam midship stateroom is equipped with a queen-size bed, private ensuite, flat screen TV, desk, and plenty of storage including hanging space. The VIP cabin positioned forward in the bow features an island double bed and ensuite. The third guest cabin features two over and under single beds - this cabin is well suited to use as an office for those owners who continue to engage in some commerce when cruising. And finally but importantly there is a Lazerette under the cockpit sole which is accessed via a water tight door off the swim platform or via the engine room from inside the vessel.

The luxurious and fully-equipped galley features granite countertops, Liebherr 476 litre refrigerator/freezer, a Force 10 gas oven and stove top, Siemens full size dishwasher and Siemens microwave oven. The galley is positioned in the starboard forward corner of the saloon with great sight lines to the entire saloon and cockpit meaning the chef will never feel isolated from the conversation. Aft of the galley (still on the starboard side) a spacious L-shaped settee set around a high gloss extendable hi/lo timber table is a great place from which to enjoy a meal or watch the Samsung 32" flat screen TV which is positioned to starboard with a large comfortable lounge to port. Access to the pilothouse is up three steps from the saloon & galley level.

Upon entry to the pilothouse you are reminded that the designers of this vessel intended her to travel great distances. Her full displacement hull design is both economical and affords a comfortable ride - Wesmar fin stabilizers further assist with a smooth passage. Visibility from the helm is fantastic, and to keep the captain company while underway guests will enjoy the pilothouse forward facing settee which is set around a high gloss table. Buyers with the intention to cross oceans will appreciate the pullman watch keepers bunk which is yet another practical feature of the pilothouse. She is equipped with a suite of Raymarine touch-screen electronics with bow, engine room and cockpit cameras have also been installed. For ease of docking, the vessel was built with powerful Wesmar hydraulic thrusters. Coupled with a Yacht Controller wireless docking remote allows the captain freedom to move around the boat so they can see exactly what is going on and assist with lines.

Up some more steps from the Pilothouse you enter the spacious flybridge area. The captain can elect to drive the vessel from this further elevated helm position, or otherwise, this area serves as another entertaining space. The boat deck aft houses the Brig Inflatable ships RIB tender and the Aritex 600kg crane for launching and retrieving the tender. The boat deck offers a spacious area to sunbake once the tender has been deployed and the tender cradles removed and stowed.

'Northerly' is powered by an ever-reliable, low maintenance and fuel-efficient single Yanmar 6HYM-ETE diesel engine at 690 HP with a Keypower Hydraulic Get-Home axillary. Housed in her full height engine room. Power while you are away from the dock is courtesy of the Northern Lights 28 KVA generator. The vessel is also fitted with hardtop mounted solar panels for self-sufficiency. Other notable equipment essential for extended cruising include a Spectra watermaker at 160 litres per hour, Cruiseair air conditioning throughout the vessel, ESI Fuel Polishing System, and a Reverso oil change system. Immediately forward of the engine room is a utility room a Bosch washing machine and Euromaid 7kg dryer have been stationed. This boat wants for nothing in terms of cruising equipment.

This impressive little ship is the epitome of sophistication, comfort, and expertise. Whether you are admiring this vessel from the outside or within, she commands a sense of capability and purpose. 'Northerly' will take good care of you as you embark on adventures you will talk about for a lifetime. This is a unique opportunity to join a strong global Selene community with a collective wealth of knowledge willing to be shared.
