Where Heritage Meets Cutting-Edge Innovation
For nearly six decades, Nautor Swan has redefined luxury sailing yachts, blending timeless elegance with uncompromising performance. Founded in 1966 in Pietarsaari, Finland—near the Arctic Circle—the brand has become synonymous with precision engineering and racing pedigree.
Core Values
- Elegance & Performance: Every Swan yacht merges sleek design (by legends like German Frers) with race-proven agility. The ClubSwan Racing series dominates global regattas, from the Rolex Swan Cup to transatlantic challenges.
- Arctic Craftsmanship: Built in extreme Finnish conditions (–30°C winters), Swans feature vacuum-infused carbon hulls and hand-laid composites, ensuring unmatched durability.
- Owner-Centric Innovation: The Global Service Network (18 hubs worldwide) offers refit support, racing assistance, and bespoke upgrades, epitomized by the new Swan 120 superyacht designed by Malcolm McKeon.
Flagship Models
- ClubSwan Range: Lightweight one-design racers like the ClubSwan 42, developed with the New York Yacht Club.
- Maxi Swan Series: The Swan 115 (2024) pioneers superyacht sailing with a 35.5m carbon-fiber hull and hybrid propulsion.
- Ocean Cruisers: The Swan 58 balances bluewater safety with luxurious interiors, featuring teak joinery and modular layouts.
Legacy & Community
- Racing Heritage: Swan yachts won the first Whitbread Round the World Race (1973) and continue to dominate events like the Fastnet Race.
- ClubSwan Ecosystem: Owners gain access to exclusive regattas, charters, and the ClubSwan Racing Academy, fostering a global community of sailing elites.
Sustainability & Future Vision
