Description 
Selene 55 combines the elegance of the past with the conveniences of the future.
Experience the sophistication of the past with the modern comforts of the future in Selene 55 Grape Escape, an outstanding example of how far the Asian builders have come regarding the design and quality of trawlers and passagemakers.
The remarkable growth in interest of trawlers and passagemakers has resulted from an expanding range of vessels now available from Asia, none more so than from Mainland China and Taiwan. Jet Tern Marine, headed by the dynamic Howard Chen, is the builder of the Selene range of trawlers, unquestionably one of the marker leaders. From its factory in Dong Guan, Canton, it produces around thirty boats a year, from the compact Selene 36 to the all-powerful Selene 75.
The name ‘Selene’ comes from the mythical Greek goddess of the moon. With that same spirit of excellence and beauty, Selene Ocean Trawlers are emerging as a world-leading brand in the luxury long-range trawler market.
Grape Escape is something new for Jet Tern Marine, being the first Selene 55 formed by grafting on the euro stern of the Selene 59 to the Selene 53. The Kiwi owner’s preference was for the styling of the bigger boat and the layout and size of the smaller 53. The compromise was to bring both together, something Jet Tern Marine was happy to do.
This also meant constructing a new transom door to the lazarette area, which now houses the washing machine, deep freeze and even a couple of bikes. The cockpit roof has also been extended, so the entire cockpit area is under shelter.
