EXCALIBUR, a 2009 Selene 57 was custom built for Joseph Gerber, Jr. of the Gerber Knife Company to fulfill his longtime dream of cruising the world.  Unfortunately due to life changes during the build of EXCALIBUR he had to sell her shortly after delivery.  While unfortunate for Mr. Gerber this change in plans created an opportunity for the current owner who purchased EXCALIBUR as an almost new boat in Portland, Oregon to realize his dream. 

And so the journey aboard EXCALIBUR began taking her new owner and guests on a 6-year adventure first cruising the Pacific Northwest from Oregon through various ports of Washington state, the San Juan Islands and up into northern British Columbia.  After exploring these cruising grounds they headed south, working their way down the California coast into Mexico and Central America, through the Panama Canal, then across the Gulf of Mexico discovering more unique ports of call.  The journey continued into Florida and up and down the East Coast to Maine and the Canadian Maritimes.  She has traveled up the East Coast extensively including the Bahamas and Caribbean proving her rugged design and build to be capable of comfortable cruising under any and all conditions.

It is now time for the current owner to turn the page on this stage of his life and move on to the next chapter creating an excellent opportunity for someone to purchase and step aboard EXCALIBUR for the journey of their dreams.  She is a turnkey vessel that has been maintained from stem to stern and top to bottom without concern for expense and she shows that care from the glistening teak and shining gelcoat to the remotest areas of her bilge.  She boasts all of the creature comforts of a fine home and has been constantly updated.  Her appearance belies the water that has passed under her keel and her 3000 hours of experience are apparent only on the hour meter looking better than most 2 year old yachts with “low hours”.  As you walk down the dock her fresh appearance attracts you right away as you barley notice the other boats you pass and her warm, rich teak interior draws you in.  Her ample aft deck says let’s sit awhile.  Her wide protected walk around decks, Portuguese Bridge and inverted PH windshields convey EXCALIBUR’s go anywhere anytime capabilities hidden under her beautiful yacht appearance and finish.  

Once you step aboard EXCALIBUR you will immediately understand why discerning yachtsmen and women worldwide chose Selene for their Long Range Cruising yachts and EXCALIBUR is the finest example of a Selene Ocean Trawler this broker has been aboard.
