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.

Peking was commissioned to provide her original owners with safe global navigation capabilities, including extreme ice latitudes. She has successfully completed over 8,000 nautical miles of cruising. A very desirable Diesel Duck, she has been featured in prestigious magazines and honored with the People’s Choice award at TrawlerFest.

For those with oceanic aspirations, the Diesel Duck designs are renowned for their heavy steel construction and exceptional stability in all sea conditions. Peking is equipped with paravane outriggers with steel stabilizer “fish”, significantly enhancing stability for ocean passages. Numerous DD-462 vessels have successfully completed multiple ocean crossings and circumnavigations.

On deck, she is easy to move about along expansive walk-around decks, bordered by high bulwarks and robust steel railings, ensuring safe access on deck in serious weather conditions. The Diesel Duck designs are steel hull recreational trawlers. They are engineered to withstand high waves and slice through heavy seas with their wave-cresting bow design. Unique to George Buehler, the designer is the versatile concept of a sail-assist trawler – having a reliable main engine to power along, but using her distinctive sail plan for quiet offshore travel and to provide emergency secondary propulsion. Peking is a remarkably fuel-efficient full displacement hull.  Her cruise speed typically consumes only one-gallon-per-hour.  This matched with her substantial 2,000-gallon fuel capacity allows for thousands of miles of non-stop passage making.

Peking was constructed with a watertight bulkhead in the bow that is secured with commercial ship quality, dogged-down hatches. Four commercial, dogged-down aluminum doors in the interior create watertight compartments throughout.

The raised pilothouse features a panoramic view in all directions with seating and a dining. The interior layout comfortably accommodates one to four individuals, with built-in seating and settee configurations suitable for entertaining larger groups. This is a two-stateroom, two-head layout below decks.

On deck:   

The lower swim platform, equipped with tender access and a swim ladder, serves as an excellent location for fishing and vessel entry/exit. The ship’s tender is securely supported by stainless steel davits off the stern. The foredeck is outfitted with a professional-grade ground tackle system, including an electric horizontal windlass and dual anchors ready for deployment. On deck the main and mizzen mast have roller furling sails and the rigging includes paravane outriggers.

Pilothouse:

Access to the pilothouse is available from both the aft cockpit and the starboard side deck. There is exceptional visibility in all directions, facilitated by large opening windows on the sides and aft. The pilothouse features a chart table with storage to starboard, while a spacious U-shaped settee with a table to port provides dining accommodations and converts to a single berth. The helm area, situated forward to starboard, is equipped with a state-of-the-art Garmin MFD nav/com system, newly installed in 2024.

Saloon:

Descending five steps past the ship’s electrical panel to starboard brings you to the saloon. There is a convertible settee to starboard, a custom chair to port, and a built-in office desk. The saloon is illuminated by opening portlights and a distinctive butterfly hatch in the forward overhead.

Forward head and stateroom:

Forward to port lies the wet head, comprising a toilet and shower, directly opposite the separate laundry area. The guest stateroom, located all of the way forward, features two bunk beds outboard to starboard, with a privacy curtain available to screen off this section.

Galley:

The galley, situated aft of the saloon along the port side, is well-appointed with a double basin sink, granite countertops, a Force 10 oven and three-burner propane cooktop, microwave oven, Norcold refrigerator/freezer, complete with lockers and drawers 

Engine room:

The engine room features 6-foot ceilings, convenient walk-around access to the engine, generator, and workbench. All components are readily accessible without the need for uncomfortable positioning. A fuel polishing system maintains fuel quality in all tanks while underway or at anchor.

Owner stateroom:

Aft of the galley, beyond the spacious, walk-around engine room, is the owner stateroom with queen-sized bed, en-suite head and shower and hanging lockers on both port and starboard sides.

BROKERS COMMENTS:

Following two and a half years of construction and commissioning in China, Peking’s original owner embarked on a 15-year journey along the east coast, Caribbean, Central America, thought the Panama Canal and up to San Francisco. In 2024, the vessel was acquired by a new owner who relocated it to Alaska in preparation for a Northwest Passage expedition. During his ownership, he implemented significant upgrades, including a new heating system, solar and lithium power systems, and advanced navigation equipment. A new autopilot motor was installed, and many new parts were purchased as backups. The new owner has also installed an oil/generator “Reverso” oil changing system and all new LED lights for the mast and navigation. Regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances, the current owner has listed Peking for sale in Ketchikan, Alaska. Peking is fueled and equipped with numerous recent improvements, ready for immediate sailing, please get in touch to learn more.

Listing broker. Jeff Merrill, CPYB (Certified Professional Yacht Broker) has extensive product knowledge of the trawler market plus direct experience with the Diesel Duck brand and is very well acquainted with the Diesel Duck 462 model.

Arcadia J is hull 14 (out of 82) and is a seasoned Alaska cruiser serving as a nomadic platform for nearly a dozen summer seasons.  Her fourth owners purchased her in San Diego, CA and then headed north to their home waters where they enjoy fishing and cruising.

This is an “Alaskanized” Nordhavn 46 outfitted for exploring the coastal outdoors.  She has served as a floating platform for hunting and fishing adventures and has thrived in the rugged northwest environment.

Arcadia J was built with the original Plan A “offshore” layout. The lower-level accommodations are accessible from the saloon (which leads down to the owner stateroom) or via the pilothouse forward stairway.  This is a two stateroom, and a two head layout. The owner stateroom is amidships and there is a separate guest stateroom forward. Each stateroom has an adjoining head and shower.

You enter the saloon through a sliding door from the cockpit.  The interior enjoys a balance between white laminate and teak joinery. The soles are teak and holly. The entry level connects the saloon and galley and provides access down to the staterooms and up to the pilothouse.  The saloon has a C-shaped dining arrangement to port across from two chairs straddling an entertainment cabinet to starboard. The galley is entered directly from the saloon and is outfitted with the necessary appliances for preparing meals at rest and underway.

The pilothouse has multiple windows and sliding doors – allowing great visibility, easy egress and comfortable ventilation. There is a watch berth aft, fronted by a settee with table.  The navigation electronics are easy to operate.

On deck the aft cockpit transitions along the starboard side of the saloon with a protected side deck that leads forward to the Portuguese bridge.  The foredeck has a built-in locker and features the windlass and related ground tackle.  Above the saloon is the boat deck, which is accessed by the cockpit ladder.  The mast supports the dry stack exhaust pipe run from the main engine. The boom serves as the dinghy hoist

The Nordhavn 46 is the model that launched this world-famous brand of trawler designs. Her performance pedigree is unquestioned routine ocean crossings happening at any given time and several sisterships have completed globetrotting circumnavigations.

Looking for a fuel-efficient coastal cruising trawler that can head straight to the Bahamas or do the Great Loop? Lightning is a 2007 Ocean Alexander 50 Classicco powered by a 300 HP John Deere 6068 enjoying a smooth ride underway courtesy of her Key Power active fins stabilizers.  She is very well equipped and has had an active and continually improved life.  Her impressive equipment includes 12” touchscreen chart plotter displays in both helm stations for easy navigation planning, bow and stern thrusters to simplify docking, an Onan generator to keep you charged and Cruisair air conditioning to keep you climate happy running north or south through the latitudes.

Ocean Alexander has been building top quality power yachts for decades. Better known for their motor yachts, those in the know are familiar with their strong entrance to the trawler market with their popular Classicco series.  The 50 Classicco is an excellent coastal cruiser featuring two staterooms and two heads configured with a raised pilothouse with flybridge atop.  She was designed and built for an owner operator couple who want to explore new shores.

Lightning’s interior layout is pleasing with teak furnishings.  This is a classic trawler arrangement with saloon and galley merged, then up through the pilothouse and down forward to the staterooms.  The owner stateroom is midship below the pilothouse and has an ensuite head and shower. The second stateroom is forward with single berths outboard and the separate head with shower at the base of the stairs is convenient for crew, making it easier to invite guests. You will find storage for belongings and provisions throughout.

Like many well thought out trawlers, the outside spaces were also a priority. Forward of the helm is a protected Portuguese bridge leading to the foredeck. Above the saloon is a large boat deck for the tender that connects forward to the flybridge and aft is the swim platform and cockpit.
