Our analysis
🛥️ The Swan 36 is one of Nautor Swan's most emblematic models. Its taut, elegant lines are instantly recognisable, and its ocean-going credentials remain intact despite the years. The design remains up to date, faithful to the shipyard's DNA, with a cockpit in attractive teak and a sober but qualitative interior layout. The two-cabin configuration is coherent for blue water cruising and the overall presentation is sound, without artificial modernisation. This is a boat built to last and to sail, not to seduce on show.
Engines & technology
⚙️ The engine is a 28hp Volvo Penta 2003R, a simple and reliable mechanism that is perfectly suited to moving the boat. The technical installation is accessible and tried and tested. The Rod rig is a valuable structural element on a Swan, the recent 2022 mainsail is a very positive point and the deck equipment is serious with electric windlass, solar panel and structural rear platform. The hydraulic systems for the vang and backstay clearly orientate the boat towards performance and fine tuning. Technically, the basis is sound and coherent for long-distance sailing.
Price positioning analysis
👎 Low range: tired units, old rigging and sails, irregular maintenance
👉 Core market: well-equipped, well-maintained units with no major refits
👍 Top end of the market: refitted units, recent rigging, new sails, well-prepared for blue water cruising
This Swan 36 is positioned at the heart of the market with solid arguments linked to the Nautor Swan yard, the Rod rig, the recent mainsail and a coherent offshore equipment package. The price has to remain in line with the reality of the market, without any emotional premium linked to the name, but without any unjustified discount.
The team's advice
✅ We would recommend this Nautor Swan 36 to a buyer looking for a true ocean-going yacht that is high-performance, seaworthy and timeless. Ideal for a demanding sailing programme and for an owner-sailor sensitive to trimming and behaviour under sail. Hardly suitable for a classic charter, but relevant for an expert charter or a personal voyage project. This is a boat for those who want to sail far and well, not for those looking for a decorative interior. A Swan needs to be chosen carefully, and confirmed at sea.
