2016 Nautor Swan 54

Westbrook, Connecticut

$1,295,000

In 2024, ALBA was fully commissioned for the first time after about 5 years of lay up in the New England area. The result is a boat in exceptional cosmetic condition, especially below deck, with very low hours on the rigging, sails, decks and machinery.

Here is an opportunity to purchase a lightly used, well optioned, ever popular, Swan 54 for an attractive price.

The hull design for ALBA dates to 2005. The same mold was used for the earlier Swan 53 model when 25 boats were built. Since then 21 more Swan 54s were built and the Swan 54 remains available as a new build today.

Built in 2016, ALBA is hull #003 of the Swan 54 model.

ALBA boasts a carbon mast with non-overlapping headsails, carbon “V” boom, electric winches, huge fold down swim platform, modern oak furniture interior, hull windows, generator, air conditioning, 4 sleeping cabins, water-maker, electric heads, washer/drier and the list goes on.

If you are in the market for a newer model Swan 54 then definitely make plans to see ALBA.
