“VESPER” is a Swan 46 MKI – hull no 26, built by Nautor in 1984 and launched in April 1985 .
The actual owner purchased the boat in 2012 and after one year of a major refit (2013) , and cruised the following years in the English Channel .
Every Swan 46 on the market claims to be well cared for by a focused owner, with attention to detail and an eye for quality. Some more so than others.
Vesper is unmatched at every level.
It seems that every Swan 46 in transition will make the claim to have been meticulously updated with the latest of everything available.
Some are just more works in progress than others. Vesper’s critical systems have been modernized by an owner with a very technical background, utilizing the most efficient electronics and communications equipment essential to optimize her safety, elegance, functionality and high speed access to the digital world.
Almost every Swan 46 has an interesting history and pedigree. The legacy of quality innovation and perfection is evident in the way this yacht sails today.
Vesper is presented for sale at a very realistic price, it is not often that a yacht of this level reaches the market at an honest value, a value that will be sustainable for a smart owner.
A fine example of a well maintained MKI Swan 46. The current owner has maintained her to a high standard and kept her updated with a number of upgrades over the years. In particular she benefits from some key points;
