The Swan 108, designed by Germán Frers with Micheletti+Partners exterior and Misa Poggi interior, is a flagship performance sailing superyacht from Nautor Swan. With a hull length of 33 metres (108 ft) and a total LOA of 35.66 m including bowsprit, she combines race-bred naval architecture with luxurious cruising comfort. The Swan 108 features a 43.3 m mast delivering over 648 m² of upwind sail area, powered by a 257 kW (350 hp) engine for auxiliary propulsion. Her deep-V hull displaces 83,900 kg with 28,600 kg of ballast for exceptional stability.

Twenty degrees of heel, even sailing close hauled. That is the ceiling the Swan 108 is built not to cross.
A four spreader rig carries close to 350 square metres of upwind sail area, enough to drive 83,900 kilograms of yacht at a genuine pace, while a high form stability hull keeps motion flat and predictable rather than letting her heel away under load. The telescopic keel is the detail that changes what owners can do with her: 5.2 metres of depth lowered for maximum grip upwind, retracting to 3.4 metres to clear a harbour entrance or anchor somewhere a fixed 4.9 metre fin could never reach. It is a rare combination on a yacht this size, true offshore performance paired with the kind of access usually reserved for much smaller boats.
A twin rudder hull, a wide transom and soft chines aft give the Swan 108 her stance before a single sail goes up.
German Frers drew a hull built for control at speed and stability at rest, the twin rudders holding their bite even when she is pressed hard on a reach. Lucio Micheletti’s exterior styling carries that intent through the deck, a low profile that reads as purposeful rather than decorative. Hull and deck are built entirely in carbon, stripping weight from a 33 metre platform and putting it instead into sail area and stiffness. She was put through sea trials in the Gulf of Ostrobothnia ahead of her Monaco Yacht Show debut, and a second hull was already under construction before the first had finished testing, a clear signal of how the market read her on arrival.
Four cabins, nine guests, a crew of five. The Swan 108 is built to cruise properly, not just to race well.
Misa Poggi’s interior design sits behind that capacity, bringing the same considered hand that has shaped recent Swan flagships to a yacht that needs to sleep a full guest list and a working crew in parallel. With a beam of 7.55 metres carried well forward and aft, the accommodation has genuine volume to work with, rare on a yacht built first for performance. A crew of five keeps the 108 properly run on longer passages, covering the sail handling and housekeeping that a 33 metre carbon yacht demands, while guests enjoy the result without needing to think about how it happens.
Full carbon, twin rudders and a keel that changes shape. The Swan 108 is as much an engineering exercise as a design one.
Building hull and deck entirely in carbon keeps displacement to 83,900 kilograms on a 33 metre platform, weight saved that goes straight into sail area and righting moment instead. The telescopic keel mechanism, switching between a 5.2 metre sailing depth and a 3.4 metre transit draught, demands structural engineering that a fixed fin never has to answer for, and it is backed by a Scania auxiliary engine delivering 257 to 261 kilowatts for the hours when the wind will not cooperate. A 4,000 litre fuel capacity extends her range under power, keeping the 108 self sufficient between marinas on longer deliveries.
The first of a new generation, and already proven enough to be building her sister.
At 33 metres LOA on a 7.55 metre beam, with a 4.9 metre draught on the standard fixed keel, the Swan 108 opens Nautor Swan’s new Maxi Swan era with a yacht that races as hard as she cruises. Tested in the Gulf of Ostrobothnia ahead of her Monaco Yacht Show debut, she carries four guest cabins, a crew of five and 4,000 litres of fuel for genuine range under power. A second hull was already under construction before the first had completed trials, early proof that the market wanted more than one. For an owner who wants a flagship that performs as well as it looks, the 108 sets the new standard for the yard.
