Versatility and Comfort for Guests

“Bella Vita” offers a level of flexibility that is truly outstanding when it comes to hosting guests. Its thoughtfully designed layout provides ample space and comfort, making it a top choice for experienced cruisers and Selene owners seeking a long-range cruising yacht. The rare configuration of twin diesel engines and port and starboard side wing stations enhances maneuverability and control, setting this 2003 53′ Selene Ocean Trawler apart from the rest.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Design

The Selene 53 is a testament to Selene’s dedication to quality craftsmanship. From the superior joinery work to the efficient space planning and abundant storage options, the vessel exudes elegance and sophistication. Owners of Selene 53 models have embarked on remarkable journeys, with “Bella Vita” itself successfully completing the challenging Americas Great Loop in December 2021.

At the core of this 53′ Selene Ocean Trawler lies its efficient and ocean-capable hull, boasting clean lines, a long keel for optimal tracking, and a large rudder for precise steering. The hull’s design not only minimizes cavitation issues for the propeller but also ensures protection with a long keel and skeg-hung rudder.

Luxurious Staterooms – 2003 53′ Selene Ocean Trawler

The master stateroom, located amidships, features a luxurious centerline queen berth, ample storage, an en-suite head, and a large flatscreen TV for ultimate comfort. Moving forward, the guest stateroom offers a centerline island queen berth, storage options, and another flatscreen TV. Natural light and fresh ventilation permeate through multiple ports and a hatch, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent is a versatile private office/third stateroom, complete with a desk and cozy bunk beds for added convenience.

Pilothouse and Galley

Ascending the curved stairs to the pilothouse, you will find easy access to all navigation and system monitoring equipment. New dutch doors offer access to the side decks on both port and starboard sides. The pilothouse is further enhanced by a settee with a table and a watch berth, all adorned with exquisite refinements and woodworking.

Descending two steps from the pilothouse, the galley is situated on the port side. This fully equipped, open galley overlooks the elegantly finished teak salon. Entertainment is provided by a fold-away flatscreen TV, while the salon features a built-in settee with storage and a large engine access door in the sole, if needed.

Flybridge and Aft Deck

The flybridge deck provides a commanding view both fore and aft, allowing for optimal situational awareness from the helm. With a bow thruster and Glendenning Transmission Controls at four stations, maneuvering the Selene 53 into most marina spots is a breeze. The flybridge also boasts an L-shaped settee and a wet bar with DC plugs and AC outlets for added convenience. Access to the flybridge is effortless, whether from inside the pilothouse or from the aft deck, thanks to the built-in steps that ensure easy access for children and pets.
