Swan 78

The Swan 78 is a fast, safe, and easy-to-control bluewater cruiser. She carries all the trademarks of a high-performance Nautor Swan without any compromise on comfort. Accommodation is for up to eight guests and a dedicated crew.

Designed by long-standing Nautor Swan collaborator Germán Frers, the Swan 78 is practical with simple solutions that ensure carefree, easy handling, and a tranquil life at sea. With modern hull lines, including a wide stern above the waterline, twin rudders, and a racing-oriented keel design, this is a true representation of Nautor Swan’s evolution.

Socialisation has been written into the DNA of the Swan 78. An open-plan deck with ample seating is paired with a generous saloon and galley below deck. This is a yacht designed for cruising the world and making great memories doing so.

Key Features

The Swan 78 is a large sailing yacht capable of cruising the world with a reduced crew. It’s impeccable under sail, and the deck areas and general arrangement have been carefully curated to maximise enjoyment at sea.

Twin rudders ensure that the Swan 78 is stable and intelligently reactive to motion. As typical for Germán Frers-designed Nautor Swans, the Swan 78 is optimised at a 20-degree heeling angle. The Swan 78 also features the latest evolution of the Nautor Swan semi-raised saloon that is discreet, streamlined, and boasts panoramic views.

The interior design by Heini Gustafsson is elegant and a home-away-from-home. The large owner’s suite is located forward and comes complete with an island bed, accessible from three sides, a desk, and a private bathroom with a large separate shower. Three further guest staterooms are aft, and one configuration is with a double berth VIP and two twin berths. There is further accommodation for two crew.

With such a commitment to livable space, the saloon is over 6 metres wide and features plenty of seating and a dinette. The galley is also generous in size and is comfortable to prepare and serve food from. Another key feature of the Swan 78 is a retractable transom that doubles as a swim platform. It provides seamless access to the sea and is large enough for sunbathing. The lazarette can stow a RIB tender.

The Swan 78 is a no-compromise bluewater cruiser that delivers comfort in spades. This is a yacht that you can see the world aboard, and its generous onboard space will make the experience unforgettable.
