It was the Swan 65 that put Nautor Swan on the map, with one of the first units claiming victory in the first-ever Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973/1974. Fifty years on, the Swan 65 has evolved greatly blending the tradition of sailing with modern-day comforts. Today’s Swan 65 also offers substantially more living space.

The Swan 65 carries all the hallmarks of a contemporary luxury bluewater cruiser. Superbly comfortable, well-balanced and optimised for long-distance sailing. The medium light displacement hull is powerful and beamy and has a nice motion at sea. Uncluttered deck spaces and plenty of al fresco social space invite guests to get involved with the sailing and spend time out up top.

A very generous five-metre saloon with a raised panoramic living area with dining to port and a lounge to starboard await guests below deck. There is also a large C-shaped galley that’s sociable and easy to prepare and cook food. Interior designer Heini Gustafsson has presented the Swan 65 with a large master cabin, either forward or aft, and a further two guest cabins. There are two solutions for crew quarters: at the bow, or forward of the galley.

The Swan 65 is offered with either an open or sporting configuration, with different on-deck seating configurations. As typical with Nautor Swan sailing yachts, the Swan 65 has plenty of options available.
