Swan Alloy 44

Nautor Swan has unveiled new details and official renderings of its 43.5-metre Swan Alloy 44, the Finnish yacht builder’s first aluminium supermaxi, with construction now underway in the Netherlands.

The yacht is being built at Gouwerok Shipyard, where hull and deck construction are currently in progress. Once this stage is completed, the vessel will move to Viareggio, Italy, for final outfitting, launch and delivery, which is scheduled for 2028. The project will also become the largest yacht ever built by Gouwerok Shipyard and its first all-aluminium supermaxi.

Although construction is taking place outside Finland, Nautor Swan’s team will continue to oversee key aspects of the programme, including its design philosophy, performance studies and supply-chain coordination.

The company has also revealed initial images of the next yachts in the aluminium Alloy range. These include the 50-metre Alloy 50, designed by McKeon with interiors by Axel de Beaufort, along with a 60-metre ketch sailing yacht whose details remain undisclosed.

With the Swan Alloy 44, Nautor Swan is moving its aluminium yacht programme into construction while laying the groundwork for a broader range of larger sailing yachts.
