Nautor Swan 68

Extended transom, German Frers-designed Nautor Swan 68. Hull No. 4 of 24 launched and presented in fantastic condition. Versatile 4-cabin, 4-heads, plus crew layout with galley forwards.

FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

Originally launched as ‘SOLLEONE’ for the chairman of Nautor Swan, she was the first Swan 68 to feature four guest cabins with a galley forward arrangement, allowing greater separation from guests and crew. In 2000, she was sold to her second owner and relocated to the Baltic Sea and renamed ‘CYGNUS MONTANUS’. In 2004, her third owner moved her to the south of Italy, renaming her ‘CARDILLO FOREVER’ and undertaking a major refit during 2006/07 where many systems were upgraded and her hydraulic bowthruster installed.

In 2013, she was sold to her current owners and renamed EXPLOTADOT. She spent most of the 2014 season in refit in Genoa and then was refitted again in 2019 ahead of a planned trans-Atlantic and Pacific adventure.
Due to Covid, the voyage was cut short and the boat remained in the Caribbean for an extended period before being shipped back to the Mediterranean by cargo. The engine had been comprehensively overhauled and therefore carries very low hours relative to her age.
