Passagemaker Magazine is the go to publication for anyone interested in cruising motor yachts. Jeffrey Moser, Editor-in-Chief has included many stories on Selene Motor Yachts and spent time at the Selene shipyard.

Ruth Pearl II the Selene 49 Classic Explorer that left Gold Coast Australia in 2025 and arrived in Canada recently is ready for a new owner. Our friends at Selene Yachts Americas are taking enquiries for this well and truly proven ocean going motor yacht. Several owners have purchased Selenes in Australia and New Zealand and taken them back to North America. Why not do the reverse and cruise Ruth Pearl II in Canada and the U.S. for a while then enjoy the adventure of cruising back to Australia? If we can assist you with local enquiries on this motor yacht, please contact Darryl 0408 764 243.

Used by YouTube adventurers ‘The 71 Percent’ to cross the Pacific Ocean, 2024 Selene 49 ‘Ruth Pearl II’ will soon be made available to a lucky new owner.

How does delivery of your new Selene in half the usual build time sound? We currently have a Selene 60 Ocean Explorer under construction and available for immediate purchase. This motor yacht is approximately one year from completion, so there is still time for the new owner to incorporate their own preferences into this stunning vessel.
