About Nautor's Swan

Nautor’s Swan has more than half a century of experience in building performance sailing yachts, which are recognised the world over for the perfect combination of style, quality, performance and reliability. Exceptional sailing performance will always define any Swan and, while the more traditional Swan Yachts will retain the familiar element of cruising comfort along with their ability to compete when required, ClubSwan Yachts will be more distinct in their role and direction with the specific objective of leading the yard’s development of high-performance yachts based upon cutting-edge design principles.
More than 2,300 yachts have been built over five decades between 36 and 131 feet, and more are about to come. The latest generation of Swan yachts includes the Swan 120, the Swan 98, the Swan 78, the Swan 65, the Swan 58, the Swan 48 and the outstanding ClubSwan 125 and ClubSwan 36.
Jewels in the crown of the ClubSwan calendar are the Rolex Swan Cup, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (Porto Cervo), and the Nations Trophy, dedicated to the Swan One Design yachts (ClubSwan 36, ClubSwan 50, Swan 45, ClubSwan 42).
