Thank you to Michael and Cristina for inviting us aboard and telling us about many of the upgrades and improvements they keep working on.

Options shows beautifully due to the continual attention and care she receives.

Options is a 2011 model year and hull number 30 in the Selene 58 series.

She is a double side configuration.

Her interior layout includes three staterooms and two heads.

Single Cummins QSM 11 main engine with a get home drive

Coming from sail, Michael and Cristina are experienced boaters, now enjoying extended cruising seasons primarily in the Pacific Northwest.

Selene 48 Objee

One of the most rewarding aspects of this business is seeing clients fully embrace the cruising lifestyle and make it their own. Cheryl and Rob Parker, owners of the Selene 48 Objee, have done exactly that, logging more than 5,000 nautical miles since taking ownership and cruising as far north as Alaska. Their journey reflects a shared sense of adventure and a thoughtful approach to life on the water.

While exploring Tracy Arm near South Sawyer Glacier, they captured a remarkable moment in a landscape shaped over thousands of years; one that continues to evolve in real time. Experiences like this offer a unique perspective on cruising, where the beauty of remote places is paired with an appreciation for how rare and fleeting some of these environments may be. Whether hosting friends aboard, reconnecting with the maritime community, or exploring Alaska’s wild anchorages, Cheryl and Rob continue to enjoy the freedom and discovery that trawler life provides. We are pleased to highlight their story.

Welcome to our latest #CruisingConversation with Evan and Karly from Navigating Nietzels!

Navigating Nietzels has built a loyal following by documenting their journey around America’s Great Loop—proving that with the right mindset, trawler cruising is within reach. Their growing YouTube audience has followed along as they balanced work and life aboard, guided by their enthusiasm, optimism, and their lovable dog, Ripley.

This video brings together two conversations—beginning with an impromptu dockside meeting at the 2025 AGLCA event in Norfolk, VA, and continuing at Trawlerfest in Fort Lauderdale in February 2026, where we reconnected to reflect on their completed Loop, lessons learned, and what lies ahead.

Selene 56 for Sale

Seeker is a late model, Selene 56 in like-new condition currently enjoying time in the Bahamas.

This Selene 56 is the “deep hull” configuration with more headroom in the engine room and the cruisers stern aft which provides a bit more waterline underway and is softens floating at anchor.  Her arrangement summary is: three staterooms, two heads, single engine, double walking side decks.

She was originally based in the Pacific northwest and became an amazing auction opportunity (sight unseen) that her second owners couldn’t pass up.  They upgraded and outfitted in Washington and after a summer enjoying Alaska cruising, they embarked on a great adventure, sailing her around to the US east coast through the Panama Canal.  During their stewardship many notable improvements have taken place, two that top the list are the addition of air conditioning and painting the hull.  The hull was painted in Stuart, FL in late 2023.

Seekers owners have done a masterful job of keeping her clean, fresh and ready to cruise. She has proven to be an excellent vessel for this active owner operator couple.  They have enjoyed operating her as a couple and also traveling with friends and family.  Her generous size and clever layout provide spacious accommodation – comparable to the Selene 60. She has enjoyed long, comfortable passages with plenty of space for entertaining and cruising with guests.  Guests will appreciate the private staterooms (a VIP with island berth and double bunk) that share a head and shower.
