Nautor's Swan Swan 98
About this yacht
The Nautor's Swan Swan 98 represents the pinnacle of the Finnish yard's maxi sailing yacht heritage, a lineage that began in 1970 with the groundbreaking Swan 55. At 31.05 meters, this bluewater performance cruiser embodies decades of evolution in superyacht sailing, combining the renowned craftsmanship of Nautor's Pietarsaari facility with Germán Frers' elegant design philosophy. Built since 2020 with a fiberglass hull and CE (A) certification for ocean passages, the Swan 98 draws a 4.90-meter draft and accommodates up to 16 guests across four cabins. Her design merges tradition with innovation—no unnecessary extremism, just precision engineering and natural materials crafted by skilled artisans. On deck, dual-purpose spaces serve both efficient sailing and luxurious living. The expansive foredeck transforms from a working sail platform underway to a sun deck at anchor. Moving aft, the generous leisure cockpit remains completely clear of lines, sheltered by a retractable sprayhood that disappears into the coachroof when not needed. Versatile deck sofas create a social lounge for sunset gatherings, converting to an elegant dining area under an optional bimini. Further aft, coamings shelter a dedicated sun-lounging space that doubles as line-handling territory during maneuvers. From twin helm positions, the skipper commands genuine pushbutton sailing—every line within reach, every system optimized. A hydraulic retracting anchor arm, proven reliable over many seasons, handles ground tackle with ease. Below deck, a second companionway provides direct access for owner or crew, depending on interior configuration. For those seeking performance, a comprehensive racing package includes a squaretop mainsail with running backstays and a double-length bowsprit for powerful masthead gennakers on fast reaches. Abundant stowage—a spacious forward sail locker and full-beam aft lazarette—ensures this world-girdling cruising sailboat carries everything needed for extended passages. The Swan 98 is where superyacht experience meets racing pedigree, a racer-cruiser built for those who demand both speed and comfort across oceans.
