Few yachts command the respect and admiration of a Nautor Swan.
Designed by the legendary German Frers and built in Finland by one of the world's most revered yacht builders, the iconic Swan 44 MkII represents an extraordinary combination of offshore capability, exhilarating sailing performance and timeless elegance. Renowned for her impeccable sailing manners, exceptional upwind ability and beautiful classic lines, this is a yacht that continues to captivate discerning sailors and Swan enthusiasts worldwide.
To own a Swan is a privilege. 'Vistali' is a particularly fine example of this celebrated design. Never raced and thoughtfully configured for luxurious cruising, she has been cherished by devoted owners who have preserved her originality, exceptional craftsmanship and traditional Swan character.
FRESHLY REFURBISHED -- AND BACK IN THE WATER!
Following an extensive programme of professional refurbishment and maintenance, Vistali has returned to the water looking magnificent. Her owners have taken the opportunity to invest substantially in her preparation, ensuring that this exceptional yacht continues to be presented to the standard she deserves.
Recent professional works include:
- Complete underwater hull strip back to bare GRP
- Hull preparation, fairing, priming and antifouling
- Full Volvo Penta engine service
- Full saildrive service, including new seals
- Replacement of all through-hull fittings with TruDesign fittings
- Comprehensive interior and exterior detailing
- Teak deck treatment and rejuvenation
These significant improvements complement an already impressive maintenance history and cruising inventory, adding considerable appeal to a yacht that has always stood apart for her quality and presentation.
A SAILING EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER
The Swan 44 MkII was conceived as a serious offshore cruising yacht, yet possesses the performance pedigree and exceptional handling characteristics for which German Frers designs are renowned. Beautifully balanced, responsive and immensely rewarding to helm, 'Vistali' delivers remarkable performance to windward and an effortless sense of control.
Her sail inventory includes a new mainsail (2023), two genoas and a gennaker. The original Nautor mast and boom are supported by rod rigging (inspected in 2023), while the Navtec hydraulics were serviced in 2024, including replacement of the hydraulic boom vang.
Powered by a Volvo Penta MD22L saildrive, 'Vistali' offers economical motoring and straightforward mechanical systems. Her electrical installation includes a new 2025 AGM house bank and starter battery, dual alternators, shore power and LED lighting throughout. A comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite provides modern functionality without compromising the yacht's traditional character.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE BELOW DECK
Stepping below reveals the unmistakable craftsmanship of Nautor Swan. Beautifully preserved timber joinery, original cream leather upholstery and classic Nautor blue mattresses create an atmosphere of understated luxury that few modern production yachts can replicate.
Her generous two-cabin, two-head layout provides comfortable accommodation for four, with additional berths available in the spacious saloon. Abundant storage, a practical L-shaped galley, refrigeration, freezer, air-conditioning and Eberspacher diesel heating make 'Vistali' wonderfully comfortable for extended cruising.
This is a yacht designed not simply to travel the oceans, but to do so with elegance, comfort and confidence.
