Jeff and Kami Fehr began to see the limitations of their semi-displacement boat after a cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska a few years back.

After that trip, it was trawler time and they began their search for a full-displacement boat, coming upon a 2008, 59-foot Selene by chance.

Once they boarded her, there was no turning back—she was the ideal setup for the cruising couple. Somehow, they fit an extensive refit into just a year on the hard in their native Canada, making significant upgrades to a boat they would christen Dock Holiday. After that, there was no turning back.

After navigating the United States and Mexican Pacific coasts and wintering in the Sea of Cortez, Dock Holiday rang in the new year by transiting the Panama Canal.
