The Selene 38 Archer is a timeless long-range cruising yacht that combines classic trawler styling, exceptional craftsmanship, and impressive practicality. Designed by Howard Chen in collaboration with renowned naval architect Ted Hood, this highly regarded model has earned a reputation as one of the most successful compact cruising yachts ever built.

A comfortable saloon, practical galley, spacious aft cabin, and generous flybridge create a welcoming environment for life on the water.

Her efficient hull, excellent engine room access, and long-range cruising capabilities have made the Selene 38 Archer a favourite among experienced cruisers around the world, from the Pacific Northwest and the Bahamas to the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia.

Combining classic elegance, proven seaworthiness, and exceptional use of space, the Selene 38 Archer remains one of the finest compact trawlers on the market—a true “small superyacht” with all the comfort and character of a much larger vessel.
