1995 Nautor Swan 55

2019/2020 refit including complete mast and rigging service and full systems review

The Swan 55 is a cruising Swan with easily handled deck layout and large volume interior perfect for living on board

The current Owner has cruised her extensively and not used her in the last few seasons. She has undergone a very thorough refit in 2019/2020 including the removal of the teak decks. She was out of the water in a shed for a number of seasons and is now back in commission and ready to go sailing.

A competitively priced high quality sailing yacht presented in good condition and ready for her next adventure.
