The new flagship of the Sanlorenzo-owned shipyard, the all-carbon 128 heads a refreshed Swan Maxi family.
Nautor Swan has announced that the first Swan 128 is on course for the model’s global debut at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show from September 24-27. At 39m (128ft) in length with a beam of 8.65m (28ft 5in), the yacht marks a significant milestone for the Finnish shipyard’s Swan Maxi range.
The Finnish shipyard, acquired by Sanlorenzo in 2024, shared recent production updates on the first unit, showing photos of the hull being painted and exiting a shed at the Boatbuilding Technology Centre in Pietarsaari on Finland’s west coast.
“The launch of this highly anticipated sailing yacht will showcase the best of Swan’s cutting-edge design, performance capabilities and customisation potential, wrapped in a commanding 39m form,” stated Nautor Swan, which is represented in Asia-Pacific by Simpson Marine, also acquired by Sanlorenzo last year.
The Swan 128 features naval architecture by veteran Germàn Frers, exterior styling by Lucio Micheletti and interiors by Misa Poggi. Designed for long-range cruising and performance sailing, the superyacht features a multifunctional deck layout, expansive living spaces and the attention to detail Nautor Swan is renowned for.
The three-part deck includes a convivial social cockpit, a purpose-designed helm station, and a spectacular aft beach club that opens directly onto the sea. The transom folds down to reveal a garage capable of housing a 4.5m tender.
The semi-raised saloon includes a flexible lounge and dining for 10, as well as triple-tier natural lighting. The forward master suite occupies the entire foreship and can be personalised, while guest cabins can be configured for single beds, doubles or Pullman berths. Aft, the crew quarters and technical areas have been arranged for optimal service without disrupting the guest experience.
In terms of performance, twin rudders and a powerful sail plan help deliver fingertip control and comfort, even at speed. Due to her advanced hull design, the yacht heels to an optimal angle of just 20 degrees, so offering thrilling sailing experiences with onboard comfort.
While the first hull is nearing completion, construction has already begun on the second Swan 128, “a testament to the strong demand for large sailing yachts that blend performance pedigree with superyacht-level comfort”, according to Nautor Swan.
The Swan Maxi range also includes the Swan 108 that premiered at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show and the Swan 88, which won the ‘Sailing Yacht Above 20m’ category at this year’s Yacht Style Awards in Singapore in April, having debuted at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival.
