Celebrating the 2025 East Coast Selene Owners’ Rendezvous
This September, the beautiful Baltimore Harbor came alive with excitement as it hosted the 2025 East Coast Selene Owners’ Rendezvous, a grand gathering of about 70 Selene owners.
Participants arrived from various ports, including the Selene 53 “KALLISTO”, which cruised three hours from Annapolis to Baltimore Harbor. In total, over 24 Selene yachts joined the celebration, creating a magnificent scene along the harbor.
Jet-Tern Marine, Selene Yacht founder & CEO Howard Chen presented the event. He, same as last year, traveled aboard the Selene 53 “KALLISTO” from Annapolis to Baltimore Harbor to attend the event. A total of 15 Selene yachts and another 5 Selene owners traveling separately, including 6 new owners with boats currently under construction. The atmosphere was warm, joyful, and filled with a strong sense of camaraderie among the Selene family.
Many owners praised Jet-Tern Marine’s craftsmanship, expressing their admiration for the superior quality and design of their yachts. One owner was especially delighted with the FRP wing door recommended by Candy, praising its perfect installation and elegant design. During the event, one new Selene 60 order was confirmed, and three additional potential clients met with the Selene team to discuss future yacht projects.
As the main sponsor, Selene Yachts America did an outstanding job in making the event a success. The contributions of volunteers and hosts Robin Newland and Glenda Groome added warmth and energy, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Old friends reunited with joy, and Howard presented two exquisite oil paintings — one of a Selene 53 and another of a Selene 57 — as heartfelt gifts to Selene owners, a gesture that deeply moved everyone present. After the event, Selene Yachts America also announced the opening of its new Annapolis office. Michael Chen attended the celebration, presenting a beautifully crafted set of Selene tableware as a token of appreciation.
The event not only celebrated the unique Selene lifestyle but also symbolized new beginnings for the brand in the U.S. market, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter.The final event of the Rendezvous was the Grand Parade, featuring an impressive fleet of 11 Selene yachts cruising together through Baltimore Harbor — a truly spectacular sight. Howard also addressed all owners via VHF radio, thanking everyone and wishing to see them again next year.
Filled with joy, friendship, and passion for the sea, the 2025 East Coast Selene Rendezvous concluded successfully. As the Selenes departed in elegant formation, their wakes shimmered under the sunset — a fitting symbol of the brand’s enduring spirit.
