Preguntas frecuentes
Where are Swan yachts built?
Swan yachts are built in Pietarsaari, Finland, where Nautor has produced them since 1966. Under the 2024 Sanlorenzo deal, the Boatbuilding Technology Centre in Pietarsaari stays the main production site.
Who owns Nautor's Swan?
Sanlorenzo, the Italian yacht builder, holds a controlling 60 percent stake acquired in August 2024 and plans full ownership by April 2028. Leonardo Ferragamo remains chairman of Nautor Swan.
What was the first Swan yacht?
The Swan 36, a Sparkman & Stephens design first delivered in 1967. Ninety were built through 1971, and early racing wins in Britain established the Finnish yard's reputation.
Founded in 1966 by Pekka Koskenkylä in Pietarsaari, Finland, Nautor's Swan builds oceangoing sailing yachts and a small range of fast motorboats. The first Swan, the Sparkman & Stephens designed Swan 36, was delivered in 1967, and its early racing record in Britain made the young yard's name.
Finnish roots and the Sanlorenzo deal
Koskenkylä's brief for that first boat was simple: around 10 meters, seaworthy, and quick enough to race as well as cruise. Sparkman & Stephens went on to draw the first 775 Swans, and production has never left Pietarsaari on Finland's west coast. In August 2024 the Italian yacht group Sanlorenzo agreed to buy 60 percent of Nautor Swan for around 81 million euros, with full ownership planned by April 2028. Leonardo Ferragamo stays on as chairman, and the Boatbuilding Technology Centre in Pietarsaari remains the main production site.
The Swan range today
Four families of boats leave the Finnish plant. The core Swan line of cruiser-racers runs from the Swan 51 through the 55, 58, and 65 to the Swan 73. The maxi range covers the Swan 80, 88, 98, 108, and 128, with the 80 the most recent launch. ClubSwan racing designs include the ClubSwan 28, 36, 43, and 50, and the motorboat side offers the Swan Shadow, OverShadow, and Arrow.
Swans on the used and charter market
Swans stay in service for decades, so the secondhand market runs from 1970s Sparkman & Stephens classics to late-model maxis, and larger Swans take charter bookings as well. GetBoat carries Nautor's Swan listings on both the sale and the charter side.
