Yachtfinders Global is proud to mark 18 years of partnership with the prestigious Selene Ocean Trawlers brand. This enduring relationship has helped shape the landscape of luxury trawler ownership in New Zealand. Since introducing Selene to the region nearly two decades ago, we’ve had the privilege of connecting passionate yacht owners with these world-class vessels, earning the distinction of being New Zealand’s longest-serving Selene dealer.
A shared commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the boating lifestyle has defined our journey with Selene. Over the years, we’ve facilitated the delivery of numerous Selene yachts across New Zealand’s stunning waters, supporting owners with expert guidance and dedicated service.
Looking Ahead: A New Era Begins
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re thrilled to announce a significant development that signals a new chapter for both Yachtfinders Global and Selene Ocean Trawlers. This December, Selene will unveil its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Zhuhai, China—a bold step forward in the brand’s evolution.
Zhuhai Factory Grand Opening Highlights:
- Dates: December 6th & 7th
- Location: Zhuhai, China
- Facility Size: Three expansive bays totalling 400,000 square feet
- Purpose: Enhanced production capacity, precision engineering, and innovation
The opening ceremony will be attended by Selene CEO Howard Chen, Technical Director Dylan Hildebrand, and representatives from Selene’s global network—including Cyprus, New Zealand, and the Americas. This new facility is more than just a larger space; it represents Selene’s unwavering dedication to building better yachts with greater efficiency and quality.
The first vessel to be launched from the Zhuhai yard is the stunning Selene 60 Classic Explorer.
