Nautor Swan 46 for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained Nautor Swan 46, combining renowned Nautor build quality with the performance pedigree of German Frers.

This yacht benefits from a major Nautor-specialist refit (2002–2004) and continuous maintenance, making her a compelling option for sailors seeking a fast, seaworthy classic with practical upgrades for Mediterranean cruising. This Swan 46 offers an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and reliability, with a deck layout adapted for short-handed sailing.

A significant refit (2002–2004) at a Nautor specialist yard in Finland included: complete rig overhaul, deck layout optimized for short-handed sailing, new electronics, central heating installation, engine overhaul and keel modification (lead bulb, reduced draft)

The yacht has been professionally maintained with ongoing upgrades. Current works (2026) include teak deck being removed and converted to original Awlgrip finish and the engine cooling system replacement. These upgrades will improve both appearance and long-term durability. These works are however foreseen after the 2026 season!

Ontworpen door German Frers, staat de Swan 46 bekend als snel en responsief, vooral bij lichtere windomstandigheden. Verder is ze uitzonderlijk zeewaardig, met klassieke Swan-constructie en comfortabel en voorspelbaar gedrag op open water. De hogere mast verbetert de prestaties in lichte mediterrane omstandigheden verder, waardoor ze zowel plezierig als capabel is.

Het jacht heeft een zeer praktische kuip, ontworpen voor gemakkelijke bediening en comfort onderweg of voor anker. Elektrische lieren en lijnen die naar achteren zijn geleid voor eenvoudige bediening. De ruime indeling van de kuip is ook zeer praktisch. Er is een grote bimini (2020) geplaatst, ideaal voor langdurig mediterraan cruisen, net als de spraykap. Deze opzet maakt de boot bijzonder geschikt voor gezinszeilen en warme klimaten.

Het klassieke Swan-interieur met warm houtwerk en een functionele cruisingindeling biedt twee toiletten met douches, een goed uitgeruste kombuis en een comfortabele salon. Diesel centrale verwarming + airconditioning (walstroom) zijn aan boord!

Why this Swan 46? As she stands out due to the proven refit at a Nautor specialist yard, continuous professional maintenance, practical upgrades for real cruising use and her strong sailing performance with added comfort features (bimini, A/C). She is ideal for a buyer seeking a true sailor’s yacht with Mediterranean capability and classic Swan pedigree.

The yacht represents a well-priced entry into Swan ownership, with strong fundamentals and further upside.

The asking price reflects the yacht’s extensive refit history at a Nautor specialist yard, continuous professional maintenance, and significant upgrades focused on usability and performance. What is truly needed now (but not possible at the yard where the boat is located before this summer) is removal of the teak deck (it is a glued deck, not screwed!) and probably paint the deck with nonskid paint. Some teak slats are coming loose, so dangerous for the feet now. Non-skid is aimed at improving long-term durability and reducing future ownership costs. The yacht is therefore competitively positioned within the market, offering a solid and well-upgraded platform for a discerning buyer seeking a capable Swan at an attractive entry point.
