Selene 53

Le Chéile (Irish for "Togetherness/Harmony/Unity") is hull number 30 in the bestselling Selene 53 series. Powered by a single engine Cummins QSL9 with an economical cruising speed of 7 knots which can provide a range of approximately 3,000 miles. For comfort underway she has Naiad hydraulic active fin stabilizers. When docking you have the convenience of electric bow and stern thrusters.

Double walk around side decks with tall bulwarks ensure safe traversing outside and connect the cockpit to the foredeck via the Portuguese bridge. The flybridge aloft is conveniently accessed inside through the pilothouse or outside from the cockpit stairs.

Varnished teak joinery throughout showcase the famous Jet-Tern Marine craftsmanship. Le Chéile has a versatile three-stateroom, two head layout. The saloon (with commissary below the aft portion) and galley occupy the entry level and there is a stairwell to starboard to the lower deck and a short set of steps up to the pilothouse. You will appreciate the opening windows in the saloon when there is a fresh breeze and air-conditioning on warm or rainy days with the doors and windows closed.

Le Chéile was purchased in 2024 as a family on-the-water travel platform to explore the U.S. eastern seaboard. Anticipating many years of cruising, the owners committed hundreds of thousands of dollars on projects, equipment upgrades and improvements to refresh her features and prepare her for long distance travel. They did not expect the life change-of-course that is sending them to a new work location across the country. The reality is that they will have to delay participating in the trawler lifestyle for a couple of years. Knowing that all trawlers are anxious when left idle, and much happier when they are on the move, the owners know that the right thing to do is to sell and turn over their well prepared and ready to cruise Selene to new owners who desire to take off for adventures to far flung destinations.
