The 2025 Singapore Yachting Festival was grandly held from April 10th to 13th at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, bringing together numerous prestigious yacht brands from around the world. Jet Tern Marine proudly showcased the Selene 62 Ocean Explorer, highlighting its innovative design and superior craftsmanship to the Asian market.

The Selene 62 Ocean Explorer was successfully delivered in May 2024 in Hong Kong. This highly customized yacht was specially commissioned by a European owner, who chose warm oak tones for the interior decor, paired with unique stone materials and beige leathers, creating a cozy “home at sea” atmosphere. The wide-body salon, complemented by minimalist-style furnishings, delivers a clean, smooth, and spacious feel. While emphasizing a residential environment, the owner also placed a strong focus on professional seafaring needs. For example, a sliding door separates the salon from the pilothouse, and an independent island-style galley ensures that nighttime navigation remains undisturbed. Additionally, a semi-enclosed flybridge was custom-designed to enhance safety and comfort during rough sea conditions.

After completion, the Selene 6219 embarked on its maiden voyage from Hong Kong to Singapore via the Philippines. With the participation of Selene’s CEO, Howard Chen, the yacht successfully completed a four-day, 1,000-nautical-mile journey, reaching Subic Bay in the Philippines. This voyage not only served as a rigorous test of the performance and endurance of S6219 but also as a bold demonstration of Selene’s commitment to quality and innovation. The Selene 6219 “C WAVE” performed exceptionally well under varying sea states and weather conditions, reflecting the craftsmanship and reliability behind the Selene name and enabling the owner to embark on adventurous voyages with full confidence.

The S6219 has received widespread acclaim for its outstanding performance, particularly its finely crafted interior woodwork, reliable high-quality equipment, and robust backup systems, including:

We look forward to securing new orders and partnerships through this successful exhibition.

In the vibrant month of March, beside the magnificent new facility of Jet-Tern Shipyard, the S6048 elegantly showcased her charm. The boat has successfully completed sea trials in the nearby waters, achieving highly satisfactory performance. Selene USA dealer Wayne, with the owners of S60 and S62, participated in the sea trials and were very pleased with the outcome.

This trial was also supported by our Canadian consultant engineer Ayron, who came to commisioning the navigation system and the Maretron system. This not only helped save costs but also avoided the hassle of overseas commisioning.

JTM: What do you think about the boat, the quality…?

Ayron: What I appreciate the most about Selene Yachts is the full displacement Ocean Explorer style design, interior layouts, stunning handcrafted interior joinery, and the use of the best and most robust electronic equipment on the market. The handcrafted wood interiors are alluring and warm every time you step aboard a Selene.

JTM:  What is the advantage of install the navigation system in shipyard?  Do you suggest the commisioning in shipyard?

Ayron: Shipyard installation and commissioning of the electronic navigation and operational monitoring systems is critical for quality assurance. All aspects of design, selection of equipment and contributory components, procurement, installation and finally commissioning is a large task and responsibility. Having this left to an unknown third party can negatively affect the clients interface with and operation of the vessel.

JTM: How you feel to work with Jet-Tern Marine team?

Ayron: Working with the team has been a rewarding experience. Every department and team is enthusiastic and willing to help in any way they can. Every interaction shows dedication to their profession and craft.

JTM: This time is your first to been china? How do you think about the food ? Hotel? And the Zhuhai city image?

Ayron: My first trip to China has been exceptional and welcoming. Accommodations have been luxurious with the surrounding area of Zhuhai offering a modern, clean and mildly bustling setting. Dining has been outstanding with a diverse offering of regional styles.

We are pleased to have Dylan and Ayron as our long-term consultants, and we look forward to their continued technical guidance. With their support, we are confident that our company will continue to advance technically and rise to new challenges and opportunities.

The Selene 54ft model is the best-selling yacht of the Selene family built by Jet-Tern Marine. More than 110 yachts have been delivered worldwide, with the most recent being the wonderful Selene 54116.

On this joyous Christmas Day, Howard cordial invited the owners of Selene 54116 to partake in the Christmas meal. He presented them with an oil painting named “Tiger Lily”.

The owners were so impressed with the Tiger Lily flower that they chose to name their boat after it. They were delighted with the painting and the special Christmas gift. The painting will be carefully placed on the yacht with lighting, which will complement both the painting and the lighting.

The Selene 7220 made a stunning appearance at the Cannes Yacht Festival, showcasing a design born from the international collaboration between Holland’s Guido de Groot and Howard Chen. This impressive long-range, full-displacement Ocean Explorer features a modern interior and is powered by twin Cummins QSL9 405 HP engines, allowing it to reach a top speed of 12 knots. With a 2800 gallon fuel capacity allow a cruising range of 2,700 nautical miles at 8 knots.

During the five-day festival, the Selene 72 attracted many interested prospects. Candy and Arina worked closely with Louis Charles from Selene Mediterranean, engaging with visitors from various countries including France, Norway, Slovenia, New Zealand, and Germany, all of whom gave glowing reviews of the Selene 72. The successful showcase is expected to generate new orders for Jet-Tern Marine.

Following the Cannes event, Candy and Arina took two days off to explore Paris, visiting iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. They enjoyed seeing the cultural treasures and even picked up some souvenirs from the Paris Olympic Games. After their time in Paris, they flew to Greece to meet Dimitris, Selene’s Cyprus dealer with a client of the Selene 49 who already placed an order. The yacht will be delivered to Greece, where it will serve as a demonstration boat for the Selene brand. The owner of Selene 4946 treated them to dinner at a restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Parthenon. The illuminated marble temple, built in 447 BC, was a sight to behold, and the Greek cuisine was equally delightful.

The next day, Candy and Arina visited the Acropolis and climbed to the Parthenon, fulfilling a mission given by Howard Chen to explore the legacy of Selene, the goddess of the moon. They discovered a sculpture of Selene on the west side of the Parthenon’s portico, while Apollo is positioned on the east side, symbolizing the moonset and sunrise.

This successful journey combined the celebration of modern engineering with a deep appreciation of ancient history, embodying the spirit of the Selene brand.

It is truly remarkable that Howard Chen visited the Parthenon in 1996, spending three days immersed in its history. Inspired by Greek mythology, this visit sparked the creation of the “Selene Yachts” brand. The goddess logo he designed was directly influenced by the statue of Selene, the moon goddess. In Greek mythology, Selene is closely connected to navigation, the tides, and the lunar calendar. She is also regarded as a guardian of forests, animals, and young women, and is known for her skill as an archer.

The Chen family’s yacht-building story began in 1996 when Howard Chen, then a student at Tong-Hai University’s Graduate School of Architecture, visited the Parthenon. At that time, his second daughter, Arina, had not yet been born. Now, in 2024, Arina, along with her colleague Candy, Sales Manager at Jet-Tern Marine, has revisited the historic site. Since Howard’s first visit, 450 Selene Yachts have been built and delivered worldwide. Isn’t it incredible how the legacy has grown? And the legend continues!

This summer, the Jet-Tern Marine (JTM) shipyard in Zhuhai welcomed multiple folks from the USA, marking an exciting return to international visits post-pandemic. On July 30th, we had the pleasure of hosting Chris Powell, the proud owner of Selene 6050, his representative Mark Tilden, and Brian Taylor, the Selene Seattle dealer. Their visit highlighted the deep connection and collaboration between our team and the Selene community.

With the easing of travel restrictions, our guests could take full advantage of the efficient journey via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. This modern marvel of infrastructure cuts the travel time from Hong Kong to the Selene shipyard in Zhuhai to just 90 minutes, a significant improvement over the previous four-hour trip via ferry.

During their visit, Brian Taylor meticulously conducted the final inspection checklist for the Selene 4548, ensuring every detail met our exacting standards before delivery.

Meanwhile, Chris Powell and Mark Tilden engaged in a productive discussion with Candy and Arina, the daughters of our founder, Howard Chen. It was a special moment for Brian and Mark, who recalled meeting Arina as a young girl at the Selene Rendezvous in Seattle’s Roche Harbor. Now, as a university graduate and a project manager at JTM, Arina works alongside Candy, contributing her expertise to the family business.

Chris and Mark’s meeting with Electrician Manager Lu Yang provided valuable insights into the Mechanic, Electric, and Plumbing (MEP) systems of the Selene 6050. The face-to-face discussions allowed for a thorough review of the boat’s specifications and progress. Howard Chen, renowned for his visionary designs, impressed Chris with an impromptu sketch of the yacht’s interior concept, which was later brought to life by the JTM engineering team through advanced 3D renderings. This collaborative effort solidified mutual understanding and ensured that the yacht’s design perfectly matched Chris’s vision.

We also had our N. America Distributor President of Selene Yachts Americas, Wayne Goldman along with Technical Director Dylan Hildebrand visiting the yard to look at builds in process, meet with the team at the shipyard to discuss design updates and also show a potential customer the yard and options for a boat they are considering.

Our guests were also treated to the best of Zhuhai’s hospitality. The Zhuhai Marriott Hotel, conveniently located just 20 minutes from the shipyard, offered them a comfortable stay and a delightful breakfast each morning. Howard Chen extended his warm hospitality by hosting a traditional Chinese lunch and taking folks out for local cuisine at dinner.

As their visit came to an end, a door-to-door minivan service whisked our guests directly from the JTM shipyard to Hong Kong Airport, capping off a visit that was both productive and enjoyable.

Zhuhai, a city where modernity meets natural beauty, left a lasting impression on our visitors. The stunning beach and the iconic Zhuhai Opera House (Sun-Moon Shell) added to the memorable experience. Chris, Mark, and Brian expressed their appreciation for the warm welcome and the fruitful discussions during their visit. Chris even mentioned that he plans to return with his wife next time.

At Jet-Tern Marine, we are always delighted to welcome Selene owners and dealers to our shipyard. These visits are not just about inspecting yachts; they are about building lasting relationships and sharing the passion that drives the Selene community forward.

In an exciting development at the Jet-Tern Marine (JTM) Shipyard, a new shipment of engines has arrived, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing enhancement of Selene Yachts’ stock boat program. This delivery includes eight state-of-the-art John Deere engines, accompanied by two Cummins engines ready on standby, ensuring robust performance and reliability across our upcoming models.

These engines, ordered a year ago, embody our commitment to innovation and efficiency in yacht construction. By integrating these engines into several Selene models currently under construction, we are set to substantially shorten delivery times and stabilize construction costs. This strategic move not only streamlines our manufacturing process but also enhances the value delivered to our clients by improving supply chain management.

The integration of John Deere and Cummins engines is tailored to meet the rigorous demands of maritime voyaging, providing unmatched durability and power efficiency. This initiative is a cornerstone in our mission to deliver excellence and dependability in our luxury yachts, reinforcing Selene’s legacy as a leader in the ocean-exploring experience.

The Selene Stock Boat Program not only enhances our construction efficiency but also directly addresses ongoing supply chain challenges. By integrating engines like the John Deere models into our builds ahead of schedule, we mitigate the risks associated with supply chain disruptions that have become more frequent since the onset of COVID-19. We apply this approach with multiple key components with long lead times. JTM CEO Howard Chen said “We will continually purchase equipment and material to ensure the key components are readily available for our stock boat program.”

This proactive approach ensures that critical components are on-hand early, avoiding the delays that many industries face due to fluctuating supply levels and transportation issues. By maintaining a fast and responsive supply chain, as highlighted in our existing operations, we can guarantee shorter delivery times for our yachts while adhering to the high-quality standards Selene is known for.

This strategic stockpiling of engines and other critical components not only secures our production line against global supply chain volatility but also provides our clients with the assurance that their yachts will be delivered on schedule, regardless of external factors. This foresight is part of our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction in the evolving maritime landscape.

In the world of luxury yachting and trawler yachts, few events inspire more confidence and admiration than a successful maiden voyage. The Selene 6219 Ocean Explorer “C.WAVE” has just concluded an impressive 2000 nautical mile maiden voyage, showcasing not just the art of yacht craftsmanship but also the robustness and reliability of this stunning vessel.

Departing from Hong Kong, “C.WAVE” made its initial passage across the open with a brief respite in Subic Bay in the Philippines before it embarked on a continuous six-day sail, tracing the enchanting coastline of Indonesia and finally docking in Singapore without a single issue.

On the trip they went from famous cities to areas with no human development and only wildlife including fish and dolphins. Something a Selene yacht can enable for her owner, take her to famous places with lots of people and activities to the most remote areas of the world depending on the desires of her owner.

Not only was this the maiden voyage of C.Wave but Howard Chen, founder and CEO of Selene accompanied C.Wave on this voyage. Mr. Chen enjoyed this multi day trip between countries and used the opportunity to observe this specific yacht and all the systems aboard performed admirably.

While underway, Mr. Chen continued to get feedback from owners while coming up with new ideas to continually improve the next Selene.

This voyage was not just a test; it was a bold declaration of capability and endurance. The Selene 6219 “C.WAVE” performed admirably under varied conditions, reaffirming Selene Ocean Yachts’ commitment to quality and innovation. The proud owner of the yacht lauded its performance, noting: “Docked in Singapore after a 200 mile trip. Not a bad shakedown cruise for a new boat. She handled everything like a champ! Well done!”

The successful trip from Hong Kong to Singapore serves as a testament to the skilled hands at Selene Ocean Yachts. Every detail of the “C.WAVE” was meticulously crafted to ensure not only luxury and comfort but unparalleled reliability at sea. As we celebrate this milestone, we invite future explorers to trust in our designs and embark on their own adventures across the sea.

Bravo to the Selene 6219 Ocean Explorer “C.WAVE”! Here’s to many more successful voyages under the Selene banner, where dreams meet the mastery of ocean exploration.
