Selene 40 Trawler Just Listed

The Ultimate Passage-Maker: M/Y PACE - A Meticulously Refit Selene 40 Ocean Trawler.
M/Y PACE, a stunning 2005 Selene 40, is not just a boat; she is a passport to adventure, a sanctuary of comfort, and a testament to the enduring quality of a true ocean-going trawler. Offered for sale in the tropical paradise of Phuket, Thailand, and priced at a competitive $399,000 USD, this vessel represents an exceptional value for the discerning yachtsman seeking a turn-key solution for long-range cruising.
While the Selene 40 model is renowned for its rugged construction and classic lines, what truly sets M/Y PACE apart is her extraordinary history of care and a recent, comprehensive refit. Her current owner, a seasoned Master Mariner and certified Yacht Surveyor, has overseen every detail of her maintenance and recent upgrades, ensuring she is not merely "well-maintained, " but truly in a class of her own. This level of professional oversight provides a peace of mind that is rarely found on the brokerage market.
Engineering for Exploration and Peace of Mind:
M/Y PACE's robust mechanical heart is built for global exploration. Her primary propulsion is a reliable Perkins 185Hp main engine, a powerplant known for its bulletproof reliability, fuel efficiency, and a worldwide support network.
For ultimate security and redundancy, she is equipped with a dedicated Westerbeke 44Hp wing engine. This "get-me-home" engine provides independent, reliable power in the event of an issue with the main engine, a feature highly valued by true long-range cruisers. Powering all onboard systems is a whisper-quiet Northern Lights 7kW generator, a workhorse of the marine power industry. This generator has recently undergone a complete rebuild, bringing it to "zero hours" and ensuring years of trouble-free service.
A 2024 Refit of the Highest Standard:
M/Y PACE is not simply a used boat; she has been reborn. A meticulous 2024 refit in Phuket has transformed her into a vessel that feels far younger than her years. The list of upgrades is extensive and impactful:
Exterior Perfection: A full repaint of her topsides and superstructure has given her a fresh, immaculate finish that will turn heads in every harbor.
Timeless Teak: The teak decks have been expertly repaired, restoring their classic beauty and non-slip functionality.
Flybridge Comfort: A newly installed hard top on the flybridge provides welcome shade and protection from the elements, transforming this space into a true all-weather outdoor living area.
Interior Elegance: The interior has been professionally re-varnished, revitalizing the rich woodwork and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that is the hallmark of the Selene brand.
Recent Upgrades and Features:
The commitment to excellence extends to her core systems. In the last few years, a number of critical components have been replaced or upgraded, eliminating common points of wear and tear:
Copper Bottom Antifouling: A premium Copper Bottom antifouling has been applied, providing superior protection against marine growth and reducing maintenance costs.
New Stern Thruster: Maneuvering in tight marinas is made effortless with the replacement of the stern thruster, perfectly complementing the bow thruster for ultimate control.
Shaft & Seal Replacements: The main engine shaft and both "Tides" shaft seals have been replaced, ensuring the integrity of the drivetrain for thousands of miles to come.
A Lifestyle Awaits:
Selene trawlers are designed for the couple or small family who dreams of a life on the water. The Selene 40 is a true home away from home, with a spacious pilothouse, comfortable staterooms, a well-appointed galley, and an expansive flybridge. She offers the capability to cross oceans or simply explore the countless anchorages of Southeast Asia.
M/Y PACE represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully-sorted, professionally-maintained, and recently upgraded Selene 40 at a very attractive price. She is a true "turn-key" vessel, ready for her next owner to step aboard and begin their cruising dreams immediately. Located in the yachting hub of Phuket, she is perfectly positioned for discovery.
