Seeker is a late model, Selene 56 in like-new condition currently enjoying time in the Bahamas.

This Selene 56 is the “deep hull” configuration with more headroom in the engine room and the cruisers stern aft which provides a bit more waterline underway and is softens floating at anchor.  Her arrangement summary is: three staterooms, two heads, single engine, double walking side decks.

She was originally based in the Pacific northwest and became an amazing auction opportunity (sight unseen) that her second owners couldn’t pass up.  They upgraded and outfitted in Washington and after a summer enjoying Alaska cruising, they embarked on a great adventure, sailing her around to the US east coast through the Panama Canal.  During their stewardship many notable improvements have taken place, two that top the list are the addition of air conditioning and painting the hull.  The hull was painted in Stuart, FL in late 2023.

Seekers owners have done a masterful job of keeping her clean, fresh and ready to cruise. She has proven to be an excellent vessel for this active owner operator couple.  They have enjoyed operating her as a couple and also traveling with friends and family.  Her generous size and clever layout provide spacious accommodation – comparable to the Selene 60. She has enjoyed long, comfortable passages with plenty of space for entertaining and cruising with guests.  Guests will appreciate the private staterooms (a VIP with island berth and double bunk) that share a head and shower.

You have a secure path on deck with symmetrical double walking side decks hemmed with tall bulwarks that connect the cockpit and the foredeck via the Portuguese bridge. The flybridge is capped with the much-desired fiberglass hard top and this area with two helm chairs and a settee with table is a great place to enjoy cruising, at rest and underway

Powered by a 410 HP single engine Cummins QSL9410MDI. This provides an economical cruising speed of 7.8 knots which can provide a range of approximately 2,800 miles.  The deep-keel model creates a taller engine room adding convenience to access for maintenance and service

For comfort underway her Keypower hydraulic active fin stabilizers help her track on an even keel

When docking, you have the convenience of electric bow and stern thrusters. For anchoring out, she has a Maxwell horizontal windlass on the bow with two large anchors ready to be deployed

The interior of Seeker is a stunning example of Jet-Tern Marine old world craftsmanship.  Her light teak woodwork is warm and soothing.  The owners have added artwork and personal items to make her their home afloat (artwork and decorations do not convey with the purchase).  Words, drawings, photos and video can only be shared enough to intrigue you. To fully appreciate Seeker you need to get aboard. Please contact listing broker, Jeff Merrill, CPYB if you would like to discuss Seeker in more detail and to make an appointment to see her for yourself

Cockpit and Swim deck

The cockpit is the primary arrival location by dinghy – through the swim platform – or by dock (on either side).  The swim deck has folding cleats and U-rail staple supports.
