Swan is a sailing yacht brand founded in 1966 by Finnish yacht builder Pekka Koskenkyla. The company began as a small shipyard in Pietarsaari, Finland, focusing on building high-quality sailing yachts suitable for offshore racing. Soon Swan became known as one of the best yacht builders in the world and won several international races.
The Swan 36 was the first vessel produced by Swan shipyard. It marked an important break from traditional wooden boats by introducing numerous innovations and using fiberglass for the hull. The result was a vessel with improved steering stability, more living space and lighter weight, while maintaining the safety and behavior of its wooden counterparts.
Sparkman & Stephens' acclaimed design team was responsible for designing the first thousand Nautor Swan yachts sold by the yard. These included the legendary Swan 38 and Swan 47 models, which, along with other offerings, cemented Nautor Swan's reputation as a brand synonymous with quality, elegance and exceptional performance. Timeless in design, Nautor Swan yachts are known for their lasting reliability and enduring appeal.
Today, Nautor Swan remains one of the most prestigious brands in the sailing yacht industry, known for its high quality and innovative designs. The company has a wide range of models, ranging from small yachts for day trips to large, luxury yachts for long-distance cruising. Nautor Swan yachts are built using the latest technologies and materials and are customized to each customer's specifications.
Nautor Swan has also built a strong reputation as a leading builder of offshore racing yachts and has won multiple awards in major races such as the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the Volvo Ocean Race. Swan yachts are also popular among sailors looking for luxury and comfort during long trips at sea.
All in all, Nautor Swan remains a major player in the sailing yacht industry, with a strong reputation for quality, innovation and performance.
