A prime example of the popular Selene 53 with twin John Deere mains and a recent generator. While easily run by a couple, The Concession has been cruised and maintained by a professional captain and crew for the last three years. The Concession is in excellent mechanical condition. Two staterooms, two heads with "office" attached to the master stateroom. She is a three-time Great Loop veteran that is ready to go again!
Named for one of the greatest acts of sportsmanship of all time, (Ryder Cup 1969-Google it) "The Concession" lives up to her name and history!
Layout
Entry from the aft deck through a “Dutch Door” or either side deck into the pilothouse. Entering the main salon from aft the beautiful main salon has an “L” shaped lounge and table on port, two chairs on starboard, a bar area forward on starboard and the open galley forward on port. Up three wide steps to the climate-controlled pilothouse with dinette and pilot berth!

The Portuguese bridge separates the passage from the walkways and the foredeck. Docking stations port and starboard make short-handed docking easy!

The flybridge can be accessed from the pilothouse or aft curved stairway. A rare find on yachts this size.
