.Offered in very good condition, Penthesilea is a well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped Swan 54, designed by German Frers and built by Nautor Swan in Pietarsaari, Finland. A true blue water cruiser, she combines performance and comfort effortlessly—sailing from just 5 knots of true wind speed. This specific yacht is equipped with a number of striking features, including: In-mast furling mainsail, lifting centerboard reducing the draft from 3.7 m to 1.4 m, bow and stern thrusters, air conditioning throughout the ship, etc. The layout consists of three cabins plus a separate crew cabin, with two toilets, making her suitable for both private cruising and long trips with guests or crew. In 2023, Penthesilea underwent a refit at an official Nautor Swan service center and continues to benefit from regular monthly maintenance, ensuring she is in excellent condition and ready for her next adventure. Note: this brochure is provisional and the boat is located in Italy.

It is a fantastic sailing yacht, even in light winds, and she is fully equipped to allow you to navigate comfortably. As our family has grown, we are moving to a larger yacht. We are sad to see Penthesilea go. We have done a lot of work in 2023 and 2024 and have maintained her meticulously. We hope she finds owners who enjoy her as much as we do.
