The Swan 53 is a serious and well-kept long-distance cruiser designed by German Frers and built by Nautor in Finland. This yacht is hull #44 of only 50 built.
Not the type of boat I usually post here, but trust me—this price is well below market.
The boat stands out for her careful maintenance, with annual engine and rig service since 2018.
She features a powerful sail plan and a deep, secure cockpit. Handling is supported by 12 winches (two electric Andersen), hydraulic backstay, and a bow thruster. The underwater hull was fully sandblasted and primed in 2024.
Inside you’ll find classic Swan teak joinery, a generous saloon, three cabins, and two heads. The galley carries an oven, fridge, and freezer. The aft cabin offers a double berth, plus two guest cabins forward and a crew cabin in the bow.
Onboard systems include Raymarine plotter, radar, autopilot, AIS, HF radio, and mast displays. Long-range cruising equipment comprises a Panda Fisher generator and a three-bladed Maxprop folding propeller.
The sail wardrobe is extensive: mainsail, two genoas, storm jib, staysail, gennaker, parasailor, and three spinnakers. All original documentation and drawings are included.
