Southern Pearl is an exceptional yacht, thoughtfully equipped.

With graceful and classic lines that characterize all Selenes.

Built to CE Category A standards, the yacht is strong and seaworthy. 

A commanding 270 degree view from pilothouse centers the dual navigation systems, provides a Stidd helm seat for the captain, and a curved settee for passengers and crew to enjoy the voyage. Within the pilothouse is a gourmet galley.

Three staterooms including a full-width master and each with its own head provides gracious accommodations for owner, family, and guests.

The flybridge is enormous and provides a social center as well as an efficient command position.

The yacht is boarded from side gates into the cockpit both port and starboard, from the swim platform through two gates, or onto the Portuguese bridge via a high gate on the starboard side. This is especially helpful with tied on a fixed dock.

From the cockpit, entry is made via a Dutch door into the salon. The pilothouse may be entered directly via Dutch doors on both the port and starboard side.

A graceful, curved stairway leads from the cockpit directly to the flybridge.

The salon is entered from the cockpit  through a Diamond Seaglaze dutch door.To starboard is a large L-shaped settee centered around a hi/lo teak table-perfect for dinner for two, or opened to host cocktails and entertaining - the table adjusts to your needs.

To port, two leather recliners expand the seating capacity of the salon. Recessed on the portside cabinetry is a 40" LCD TV. A full electronics suite including satellite TV, satellite radio, surround-sound, DVD, and AM/FM/CD systems are housed in cabinetry adjacent.

Forward is the formal dining area with custom table seating for eight plus cabinets for china and crystal.

The gourmet galley will make meal preparations a delight. The significant beam of the Selene 62 makes it possible for spacious granite work areas, a Force 10 five-burner propane stove cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and compactor, SubZero refrigerator with two freezer drawers, and GE Profile convection/microwave oven.

• Two additional freezer drawers are located in the lazarette for longer-term purposes.

Storage space is extensive  both above and beneath the counters.

Forward of the galley is the pilothouse. It is the center of activity for command and control. It is also a social center, and a relaxing place from which to appreciate the boating life style while on the hook or in port.

Port and starboard are Diamond Seaglaze dutch doors for access to the forward and side deck.

Stidd helm chair is centered to provide the captain access to all systems for navigation, communication, and operation of the yacht. Dual Furuno navigation systems, Simrad autopilots and VHF radios in addition to the additional electronics systems provide both redundancy and flexibility in route planning and execution.

A full suite of electronics is described in the Navigation and Communications Equipment section below.

• Additional Raritan icemaker and refrigerator are located on the flybridge as well. 

Access to the bridge is gained via inside companionway from the pilothouse, or by a gracious but practical circular stairway from the cockpit.

A full beam hardtop provides protection over the entire helm, cabinetry, and seating areas. It supports mast that mounts VHF and SSB antennas, radar antennas, satellite TV, VSAT, AIS and multiple GPS antennas.

The helm has Selene ladderback chairs, commands a 360 view of everything going on around the ship.  A Fusion sound system provides ample choices for music while on the flybridge. The flybridge also has a dedicated air conditioner. 

A large u-shaped settee with a pedestal mounted table offers seating for 5-6 in addition to the helm chairs. A stainless steel Electri-Chef 230 volt electric grill is mounted port side with a fresh water sink. A refrigerator for cold refreshments is also built in. Lots of storage is beneath the seats. Custom covers protect the helm seats and settee when not in use.

A 1750 lb Steelhead davit easily launches the 13' Boston Whaler with its 40hp Yamaha four stroke engine (new 2015). When the tender is launched the tender chocks can be removed and docked next to the starboard railing to open up the back deck for sunning and/or entertaining. 

The tender is itself equipped with a VHF radio, Garmin chart plotter/ sounder, lighting, ground tackle and two fuel tanks.
