The Selene 72 made a stunning appearance at the Cannes Yacht Festival, showcasing a design from the international collaboration between Holland’s Guido de Groot and Howard Chen. This impressive long-range, full-displacement Ocean Explorer features a modern interior and is powered by twin Cummins QSL9 405 HP engines, allowing it to reach a top speed of 12 knots. Its 2800-gallon fuel capacity allows it to cruise for 2,700 nautical miles at 8 knots.
The Selene 72 offers exceptional comfort, with a spacious owner’s cabin, a VIP cabin, a guest cabin forward, and a crew cabin aft. The full-beam owner’s cabin includes a king-size berth, an ensuite bathroom with shower, and a walk-in wardrobe between the stateroom and engine room, providing a sound barrier and a comfortable, private retreat.
The saloon boasts an L-shaped sofa with a dining table for six, complemented by a stylish chandelier over the dining area. The galley is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a large refrigerator, electric stove, oven, sink, dishwasher, and trash compactor, ensuring all the amenities of the home. The professionally designed pilot house is equipped for long-range cruising with radar, GPS, autopilot, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, night vision camera, and electric engine controls. The Humphree electric zero-speed stabilizer system performs well in rough seas and at anchor with minimal rolling. The well-thought-out dash and Stidd pilot seat offer excellent visibility and comfort for the captain.
During the five-day festival, the Selene 72 attracted many interested prospects. Jet-Tern Marine colleagues Candy and Arina engaged with visitors from various countries, including France, Norway, Slovenia, New Zealand, and Germany, who provided glowing reviews of the Selene 72. The successful showcase is expected to generate new orders for Jet-Tern Marine.
