Selene Annapolis Expands
John R. Dennison has joined Selene Annapolis in a multi-faceted role including sales, marketing, brokerage, project management, and consulting to Selene Annapolis customers and prospects. In addition he will be involved in some of the activities relating to commissioning and after-market support. John brings over 30 years of experience in the yachting industry.

A graduate of the University of Texas, he has captained private yachts ranging to 125' and was captain of a 148' oceanographic research vessel which he ran from West Africa to the US. In 1983 he skippered Alan Bond's "Southern Cross II" during the 1983 America's Cup summer. Included in his impressive resume are several transatlantic crossings and more than 100 trips between New England, South Florida and the Caribbean.

As owner of Lone Star Marine Services for over 18 years, he developed an intimate knowledge of yachts of all sizes. He has overseen major refits on yachts up to 125', power and sail.

Before joining Selene Annapolis, John has spent nearly 3 years as a broker for Little Harbor Yacht Brokers in Fort Lauderdale where he has been consistently successful. Prior to that he spent 5 years working for Ted Hood's Portsmouth Marine in Rhode Island as Service and Production Manager for the Selene Trawler line, making numerous trips to China where Jet Tern Marine, the builder of these offshore trawlers, is located. His responsibilities included production management and quality control.

John's practical knowledge and years of hands-on experience put him in a unique position to assist Selene owners, customers, and prospects whether they are inclined toward new or brokerage yachts. He will be based at the company's headquarters in Annapolis, MD. If you would like to contact John, click here.

Who We Are     

Selene Annapolis owners Chuck and Andrea Wistar are uniquely qualified to understand your interests and your needs, having lived aboard and cruised their own Selene 53, Celebrate, for over 14,000 nm from 2003 thru 2005. They chronicled their travels from Canada to the Bahamas and all points in between on a personal website, Celebratecruising.com. They chose a Selene for their own cruising after 20 years on Grand Banks and four years of searching for a yacht that met their exact requirements. Yachts in the class of Selenes are acquired by their owners as the result of a thoughtful and deliberate process. There are many steps between first sight at a boat show or in a periodical, and first sight of your vessel at the dock with all systems perfected, tanks and larder full, and the traditional bottle to break on the bow. Selene Annapolis is dedicated to walking those steps with every owner. Support and service programs at every point along Our Process, at commissioning, and after the delivery are critical to meeting the high expectations every owner has.

Commissioning and warranty services are provided in partnership with Bennett Brothers Yachts in Wilmington, NC and Washburn's Boat Yard in Solomons Island, MD. Rather than incur the price-pushing overheads of its own facility, Selene Annapolis partners with two of the most widely respected yards in the east. Each has extensive experience with Selenes, brings invaluable expertise in every trade a yacht owner would need - at commissioning time, for routine service, for post-commissioning upgrading, or for repairs. The locations are convenient to all.
