The Swan 98 is a 31.05 m (102 ft) world-girdling performance cruiser from Nautor Swan, with naval architecture by German Frers and an interior by Misa Poggi. Offered in Owner Forward and Owner Aft layouts, she pairs dual-purpose deck spaces for sailing and relaxing with a 267.5 m2 mainsail on a 37 m rig. A Cummins QSB6.7 305 hp auxiliary, a 20 kW generator, 2,950 litres of fuel and 1,400 litres of water underwrite true ocean range, while a fixed 4.40 m keel or an optional telescopic unit (3.20/4.90 m) tunes draught. A racing package adds a square-top mainsail, running backstays and a double-length bowsprit.

A 267.5 square metre mainsail and a 205 square metre fore triangle stand on a 37 metre rig, giving the Swan 98 genuine maxi performance across a 63,100 kilogram displacement.
Frers drew a hull with the waterline and stability to carry that rig hard offshore, anchored by a 4.40 metre fixed keel or an optional telescopic unit that swings between 3.20 and 4.90 metres. The racing package, with its square-top mainsail, running backstays and double-length bowsprit, turns the cruiser into a yacht that can be raced seriously, while the standard configuration stays easily handled for long passages. It is the dual-purpose sailing that defines her.
At 31.05 metres LOA on a 6.97 metre beam, the Swan 98 carries the long, clean maxi Swan profile with the volume to match.
The deck is drawn for dual use, with sailing functions and guest relaxation sharing the same uncluttered plane rather than fighting for space. Frers’ styling keeps the restraint that identifies the marque even at this size, so she reads as fast and purposeful rather than ostentatious. The extra beam carried well aft gives real deck room and underpins the volume of the two interior layouts below.
Owner Forward or Owner Aft layouts let the Swan 98 be configured around her owner, with Misa Poggi’s interior setting the tone throughout.
The two configurations move the owner’s suite between bow and stern, changing the balance of owner and guest accommodation to suit how the yacht will be used. Poggi’s material palette brings warmth and light to the generous volume under the 6.97 metre beam, and the accommodation is sized to support both guests and a professional crew on long passages. Indicative accommodation is four cabins sleeping eight guests with crew quarters for the sail handling and service a 31 metre yacht requires; exact layouts are specified to order.
A Cummins QSB6.7 delivering 224 kilowatts, a 20 kilowatt Northern Lights generator and 2,950 litres of fuel give the Swan 98 the autonomy of a true ocean yacht.
With 1,400 litres of fresh water, dedicated 400 litre grey and black water tanks and a heavy 24 volt service bank rated at 1,200 amp-hours, she is engineered to spend weeks away from any dock. The optional telescopic keel adds a structural layer a fixed fin never carries, and 22,000 kilograms of ballast keep her stiff under the tall maxi rig. The whole yacht is built to the Nautor Swan standard that lets these boats circumnavigate and hold their value for decades.
A maxi built to cross oceans and, with a package change, to race them.
At 31.05 metres LOA on a 6.97 metre beam, displacing 63,100 kilograms with 22,000 kilograms of ballast, the Swan 98 offers Owner Forward or Owner Aft accommodation, fixed or telescopic keels and a full racing package. A Cummins QSB6.7 auxiliary, 2,950 litres of fuel, a 20 kilowatt generator and extended water and power systems make her self-sufficient anywhere. For an owner who wants a true bluewater maxi that sails as hard as it cruises, the 98 is one of the most complete yachts in the Nautor Swan range.
