Since its inception in 1996, Yachtfinders Global has meticulously represented Jet-Tern Marine and Selene, establishing a bond that has grown stronger over the decades. Yachtfinders Global is the oldest brokerage still actively selling Selene, a testament to our enduring dedication and commitment to this esteemed brand.
The Genesis of a Partnership
The roots of our collaboration trace back to the very first meeting with Howard Chen, a visionary and the driving force behind Selene. It was in the old factory in Dong Wang where I went to discuss acquiring the agency for Yachtfinders Global. From that pivotal moment, our relationship blossomed into a partnership grounded in mutual respect and shared values.

The Birth of the First Selene 54
Our collaboration bore its first fruit with the construction of Selene 54 for a New Zealand client. This project marked the beginning of a series of successful ventures and set the standard for the meticulous craftsmanship and excellence that Selene boats are known for.
Expansion and Innovation
Chen’s vision propelled Selene to new heights with the establishment of a new factory in Zhuhai. The transformation of the factory has been remarkable, showcasing the brand’s evolution from its humble beginnings to a powerhouse in the marine industry. The state-of-the-art facility symbolises the relentless pursuit of innovation and quality that defines Selene.

Building Relationships
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some extraordinary individuals working at Selene. Their professionalism and dedication have made our interactions seamless and productive. They are always obliging and prompt in providing the necessary information, reinforcing the smooth and efficient functioning of our partnership.
Navigating Challenges
Despite unprecedented challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, our collaboration has remained resilient. We adapted by leveraging technology, using platforms like WhatsApp and WeChat to maintain open lines of communication. I have enjoyed working closely with project manager Candy Wang and Howard Chen’s daughter, with whom I share a strong professional rapport.

Representation on the Global Stage
Our partnership was further strengthened last year when I met the Selene team at the Cannes boat show. Their representation of a new model to the European market was a significant milestone, showcasing Selene’s commitment to expanding its global presence and reaching new audiences.
A Legacy of Excellence
The partnership between Yachtfinders Global and Jet-Tern Marine and Selene is not just a business relationship; it is a journey of mutual growth and shared successes. We are proud of our history and look forward to many more years of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
