In early December, Selene founder and designer Howard Chen and his team created a truly memorable experience for the yacht owners, dealers, journalists and workers gathered at the expanded Selene shipyard in Zhuhai. Guests from over a dozen countries came together from December 5-7 to celebrate the 400,000 sq. ft. expansion of Selene’s shipyard and marina in Zhuhai, China.
Featuring fireworks, traditional ‘lion’ dances, a gourmet banquet, and even a parade on the Pearl River of several new Selene yachts, the festivities had something for everyone. In attendance were international Selene dealers, yacht owners, local and international journalists, regional dignitaries, and importantly, the 200 talented workers who build Selene Yachts.
Several lucky new owners were able to see their yachts on the water for the first time. These included a sleek 64 Ocean Explorer with a multitude of custom options, a gorgeous 54 Classic Explorer, and a 49 Classic outfitted for travel in the Mediterranean. Take a behind-the-scenes look at the event below.
