Swan expands its horizons
With two Swan 60s, a Swan 80, a Swan 95 and four of the new 115s currently in build, the Nautor’s Swan yard in Jakobstad, Finland is a hive of activity. During a press trip to the yard to see the newly launched Swan 115, SuperyachtNews.com asks about the brand's growing superyacht segment.…
“The market has grown and Nautor has grown with the market, as we have dramatically increased the size of our products from building 40-foot yachts to over 100-foot yachts,” says Enrico Chieffi, Vice President of Nautor Group. “In terms of units we are selling more of our big yachts than our smaller yachts at the moment, which says a lot about where the world is going.”
Chieffi, however, assures that this does not mean the end of their superyacht progress. With murmurings last year of a potential Swan 130 in the line up, Chieffi confesses that the company will have some very important news to announce in September. “We are still thinking about bigger yachts than the 115,” he explains. “Our plan is to unveil a new project at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show.
The second Swan 115 in build is due to be delivered next year, which also coincides with the company’s 50th anniversary.
