Celebrate is the youngest Selene 43 on the market in the US and certainly the best equipped and most experienced. Pacific Northwest south to the Panama Canal then the Carribbean and US East coast before settling at her home ports in Josephine, AL, and now in Palmetto, FL.

Celebrate is boarded via gates on both port and starboard, or alternatively through a gate through the transom from the swim platform. The integrated swim platform has 'staples' for safety and stability whether swimming, boarding from the dink, or just hanging out waiting for a fish to bite.

The cockpit easily accommodates chairs for four to socialize. It also provides access to the full beam lazarette through a large hatch in the deck.

From the cockpit a Dutch door leads to the main salon. To port is an L-shaped settee with a hi/lo and expandable table. To starboard is an entertainment center with stereo and Sirius satellite radio. A hatch to the commissary containing a wine cellar, freezer, and storage is just inside the aft door.

Teak and holly soles extend throughout the entire yacht.

Forward to starboard is the U-shaped galley. To  port of the galley is a companionway leading up to the pilothouse, and outboard of that, one leading below to the staterooms and engine room access. At the stair landing is a Splendide Combomatic 6000 washer/dryer to port. The engine room door is centerline.

Next forward to port is the guest cabin with the guest head to starboard. The master cabin is forward with ensuite head to starboard.

A companionway leads up to the pilothouse. Port and starboard are Dutch doors accessing the Portuguese bridge and foredeck. An internal stairway on the port side of the pilothouse leads to the flybridge, a major factor for safety and convenience.

Celebrate sleeps 6 in two staterooms and pilothouse and a berth in the salon. The interior is teak with teak and holly soles throughout.

Central to any proper yacht is a comfortable and spacious salon. Such is the case with Celebrate. Teak sidewalls throughout the yacht give a rich and luxurious hue to every space. Convenient and ample seating provides a warm setting for socializing, dining, and just relaxing. Large windows on the sides and aft provide a panoramic view of everything going on about the boat. Some specific features include:
