Clockwise from top left: the Swan 48 from 1971 designed by Sparkman & Stephens, the Swan 53 from 1986 and the Swan 51 from 1981 both designed from Germán Frers The mid-size Swan in the key size range between 48 and 55 feet has played an important part in the history of Nautor’s Swan. Some of the most successful and beautiful yachts ever built found their place in this category. From the innovative Swan 48 designed by Sparkman & Stephens - the first Swan featuring the famous “wedge” shape coachroof - for sure the most reproduced design by other yacht producers. In this size range we also find...

Design Germán Frers This is the second generation of blue water cruising yachts, designed for Nautor. She has been refined in all departments and stands out in the crowd because of her design and the inherent quality of her construction. This is a sailing yacht, large enough for a group of six to cruise in comfort but small enough to be able to be sailed and maintained by her owners. This is the boat anybody like me, with a wealth of offshore racing experience and a taste for blue water cruising with family and friends, or young people looking to have the adventure of their lives, would...

The deck layout has been developed to meet two fundamental objectives: ensure comfortable sailing with limited crew and provide areas designed to best enjoy life onboard. The transom opens fully into a wide swim platform allowing direct access to the sea. The positioning of the mainsheet on the coachroof, rather than in the cockpit, allows the use of the wide bimini while sailing. The bimini, together with the sprayhood which is recessed and retractable, provides complete protection from the elements. The four standard electric winches in the cockpit, close to the helmsman, facilitate easy...

Similar to the deck layout, the interior has been designed to ensure maximum comfort for long periods, both under sail and at anchor. This original configuration offers three double cabins, with the owner’s cabin forward and two guest cabins, one central and the other aft. There is also a fourth cabin dedicated to systems and storage, including the generator and washing machine, with the possibility to add a work table so as to convert it into a crew cabin. A configuration perfectly suited for extended bluewater cruising and lengthy stays aboard. The saloon has a ‘c’ shaped sofa, which is...

Under sail Bluewater sailing is a concept that encompasses a world of open spaces, far horizons and long distance cruising: in this sense, the Swan 54 is a pure bluewater cruiser. She is conceived to be the perfect boat for extensive living on board, to enjoy the best cruising locations all over the World.

She is fast and powerful in every condition, giving a full sense of safety at the same time. In addition, the high aspect ratio of the rudder provides...

The quality that has made Swans so famous during the years can be seen in the obsessive attention to detail that can be found throughout the yacht. Technologies have evolved but the spirit with which a Swan is designed and built remains the same: seaworthiness, reliability and style are and always have been our main drivers. That is why on our yachts we use only the best materials and the technologies that have proved their worth and durability in prolonged and severe conditions.
