The new sailing yacht Swan 105 concept is a fresh addition to the outstanding superyacht market development of the prestigious Finish builder, Nautor´s Swan. Designed by the Swan´s in-house team in partnership with renowned German Frers, the Swan 105 superyacht is an exceptional accomplished performer, belonging to the SwanLine´s sustained, progressive designs.

The luxury yacht Swan 105 is a bold statement in luxury style and ocean-going performance, taking its lead from the previous interpretations which produced the Swan 112 (an example is the charter yacht Highland Breeze), the luxury yacht Swan 100 and the Swan 130. Since 1998 when Nautor’s Swan successfully penetrated the superyacht world for yachts over 100 feet, design has developed in order to pave the way for the breath taking Swan 105.

Sleek, luxurious and reliable, the superyacht Swan 105 is built to perfection within the cruising context. The performance orientated hull with clean deck layout concealing the substantial internal volume and innovative technical features combine to afford true comfort for owners and guests. Layouts include owner’s cabin forward and aft for a personalised preference. A diligence to pulling in natural light to the main saloon area has resulted in six hull windows on each side of the hull coupled with ten deck hatches and the raised saloon windows, producing a bright heart to the Swan 105 living quarters.

Above decks commitment to comfort continues with the visually pleasing sweeping top of the raised saloon flowing naturally into the entertainment cockpit amidships. This provides a protected area with access to the main companionway which also benefits from an elegant integrated in-deck bimini hydraulically operated. Seating eight at ease in sumptuous comfort whether at anchor enjoying dining al-fresco or under passage, the wonderful space forms a cocooned and welcomed retreat from the business ends of the yacht.
Cruising pursuits have received the majority of attention by the designers, demonstrated by the broad transom at the stern opening out to reveal an extensive swimming platform with additional space ideal for a 4 metre tender with its own hydraulic launching and recovery system.

Luca Lucheschi, Commercial Director at Nautor’s Swan has been involved throughout the Swan 105 yacht design project and commented on the latest addition to the SwanLine: “The Swan 105 is essentially an extension of our fast maxi-cruiser concept, central to our portfolio of yachts. As well as using the knowledge gained from 45 years of developing the ultimate in hull lines, foils, deck layout and internal arrangements, we have produced a successful package with the Swan 105. She not only commands respect for sailing performance but also stands out from the crowd through her interior comfort quality. A truly beautiful cruising boat with the benefit of modern technical improvements, the Swan 105 expertly continues the proud traditions of the Nautor’s Swan marque”.
