Welcome to MV Destiny!

Selene 60 Ocean Trawler – Hull 6043

Gone without Wind …. around the world

Welcome to MV Destiny – our Selene 60 Ocean Trawler. Our blog takes you through the design and construction of our new Selene 60 at the yard in China from signing the order in May 2018 to the final delivery – some time in 2021. We’ve had some trials and tribulations during the build including the impacts of the global coronavirus pandemic. Our blogs will follow us after launch as we cruise the world, starting in the Far East. We also include a technical library of the equipment on board to give a full background of our design process and the decisions we have made along the way.
