Selene Yachts was founded in 1998 by Howard Chen, a naval architect and marine engineer with a passion for creating luxury long-range trawler yachts. The company initially began as a division of Jet-Tern Marine, a shipyard established by Chen in Zhuhai, China. Selene Yachts quickly gained a reputation for blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, which allowed them to carve out a niche in the competitive market for luxury trawler yachts that offer exceptional seaworthiness and comfort.In the early 2000s, Selene Yachts expanded its range to include a variety of models, from the smaller 36-foot trawlers to larger, more luxurious yachts exceeding 60 feet. Each yacht is meticulously designed and built under rigorous quality control standards. Selene's approach involves extensive customer input in the customisation of each vessel, thereby ensuring that each yacht meets the specific needs and desires of its owner. This customer-centric approach, combined with high-quality build standards, allowed Selene Yachts to quickly expand its market presence globally, including Europe, North America, and Asia.Today, Selene Yachts continues to operate from its state-of-the-art shipyard in Zhuhai, China. Despite economic fluctuations and growing competition, the brand has maintained its reputation for producing reliable, luxurious, and long-range trawler yachts. They also offer a comprehensive range of services including new builds, customisation, maintenance, and after-sales support, ensuring that Selene owners receive top-notch service and attention throughout their yachting journey.
