The 2004 Selene 53 is a fiberglass trawler built for serious cruising. At 53 feet with a 16-foot 8-inch beam, she combines Selene's proven offshore hull design with practical systems engineered for extended passages. A single 450-horsepower Cummins diesel powers her at a 9-knot cruising speed, paired with straightforward engine room access and serviceability.
The pilothouse layout offers commanding visibility and well-organized controls for long-distance watchstanding. Wide side decks with solid handholds and a Portuguese bridge enhance safety and confidence underway. The design performs equally well on the Intracoastal Waterway and open ocean passages.
Below deck, the interior accommodates three cabins and two heads in a practical liveaboard arrangement. Layout and systems reflect the boat's purpose: comfort and functionality for extended time at sea rather than cosmetic appeal.
