The first two motor yachts Selene 92 belonging to the Ocean Explorer series are currently in build by the Dutch shipyard Selene Yachts and works are in full swing on their hull plug as well as tooling. With the first sales concluded at the Cannes Boatshow on the French Riviera, the second Selene 92 superyacht will be launched on the American West-Coast.

The luxury yacht Selene 92 employs a traditional displacement yacht hull but with contemporary exterior styling and modern construction techniques. This combination is intended to exploit the advantages of an explorer or expedition vessel in being able to take on the roughest seas with immense range capabilities but also allows the stylish package of a modern luxury super yacht: she is intended for truly Worldwide cruising in style and comfort.

The Ocean Explorer series superyacht Selene 92 is the result of a multinational collaboration of designers and architects under Howard Chen’s design team leadership. Howard Chen has worked closely with renowned Dutch architect Guido De Groot and a group of International consultants to develop a contemporary take on the long range yacht whilst capitalizing on builder Jet Tern Marine’s high quality construction and reputation for experience and innovation in the displacement yacht sector.

Guido de Groot: “we have combined style, functionality and strength in one coherent design” A first look at the 92 yacht shows a number of the Selene family traits with her powerful raised pilothouse, Portuguese bridge, and bulbous bow. But a contemporary twist is also apparent in the addition of the large side windows in the hull and stainless steel anchor pockets.

Selene 92 takes the simple and proven concept of the fuel efficient and seaworthy long range yacht to a new level of luxury and with all of the advantages of GRP construction.
