2003 53' Selene Ocean Trawler “Bella Vita” for sale. Bella Vita is a three stateroom pilothouse trawler. This Selene 53 is the most popular model and best-selling of the Selene line of Ocean Trawlers. Offers you flexibility for guests, excellent sea keeping abilities and the long-range cruising knowledgeable cruisers and Selene owners desire. Bella is a RARE twin diesel with port and starboard side wing stations. The Selene quality craftsmanship is apparent throughout – showing off their excellent skills in top-notch joinery work, space planning, and storage. The Selene 53 models have taken owners wide and far, traveling some extreme distances. Bella completed Americas Great Loop in December 2021. It all starts with an efficient and ocean capable hull. Take a look under a Selene and you will see what you should expect of excellent naval architecture – clean, smooth lines, a long keel for tracking and a large rudder for steering. There are no bulky protrusions to create cavitation issues for the propeller, the lines are clean from bow to stern, and the long keep and skeg-hung rudder protect the propeller. This vessel has an extensive list of recent updates and modifications. She is ready to go! Currently located in Cape Coral, call for your easy showing, you will not be disappointed!
