2006 Selene Archer 36

Step aboard and you’ll notice how quiet and composed this Archer feels under way; that deep hull and solid build soak up vibration and noise. Sightlines from the raised pilothouse are excellent, with proper watch-keeping ergonomics and easy access out to the side decks when things get busy. The wide, well‑protected walkarounds and tall railings make line handling and fender work feel secure, even in a sloppy crosswind. On longer passages, the separation between cabins gives real privacy, while the saloon still feels like the gathering spot of a much larger yacht. Up top, the flybridge has the right mix of seating and storage, turning it into a genuine second living space when the weather cooperates.

For waters that mix tight harbors, shallow approaches, and open‑water stretches, this Selene Archer 36 hits a sweet spot. Her full‑displacement hull and long range let you plan ambitious coastal hops without hunting for fuel every day, yet she’s compact enough to tuck into smaller slips and anchorages. The thrusters and articulate rudder make docking in gusty crosswinds or strong currents far less stressful, and the generous tankage supports extended time off the dock. With wide side decks and high bulwarks, she’s comfortable for crews moving forward with gear in a chop. Add a capable tender on the davits, and you’ve got an ideal platform for exploring quiet coves and less‑traveled shorelines.
