Performance and classic elegance define this Nautor Swan 53-039 Alba Blu. Built in 1993 and measuring 16.06 meters with a 4.73-meter beam and a 3.1-meter draft, this used boat represents a sophisticated choice for sailing enthusiasts. The vessel is currently lying in Sicilia and is maintained in excellent condition following two major, comprehensive refits performed in 2012/2013 and 2020/2021.
The most recent overhaul in 2020/2021 significantly upgraded the vessel's technical capabilities. The installation of a new Nanni N140 engine—providing an 8.2-knot cruising speed—complements the addition of a bow thruster with pedal controls. Rigging maintenance included a mast base reconstruction, replacement of standing rigging, and a full repaint of the mast and boom. Navigation is supported by a new B&G Vulcan9 plotter and B&G VHF with AIS, ensuring modern control for this classic design.
Deck and interior aesthetics have been renewed to match the mechanical standards. The exterior features a carbon fiber bowsprit, a new carbon/teak passerelle, and a new carbon swim ladder, alongside updated Bimini and spray-hood covers. The interior has received new Tecma fresh-water toilets, updated upholstery, new mattresses, and refinished floors. Performance is enhanced with a hybrid sail inventory including a new mainsail and genoa.
This specific yacht is ideal for experienced sailors who prioritize the build quality of Nautor Swan combined with the peace of mind offered by documented, professional refits. The layout is designed for the versatility required by the Crociera/Regata category, balancing comfortable cruising with the agility required for competitive sailing.
