By Sophia Spanton

In an exciting development for sailing enthusiasts worldwide, Nautor Swan and Edmiston have embarked on a visionary partnership to create a new line of aluminium sailing superyachts exceeding 40 metres. This collaboration marries Nautor Swan's rich heritage of craftsmanship with Edmiston's unparalleled brokerage acumen, heralding a new chapter in luxury sailing.

The inaugural vessel in this groundbreaking series will be brought to life by the renowned Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design studio, promising a harmonious blend of cutting-edge performance and timeless elegance. This venture not only marks Nautor Swan's bold entry into a new market segment but also reinforces their commitment to innovation and sustainability in yacht design.

Sustainability, always a priority, is at the core of this new range with plans to incorporate cutting-edge eco-friendly technologies. The yachts will feature advanced solutions such as hydrogeneration, and potentially methanol and hydrogen technologies, drawing from Sanlorenzo's experience in sustainable yacht design.

Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman of Sanlorenzo, Nautor Swan's parent company, emphasised the strategic importance of this partnership; 'We acquired Nautor Swan to complement our product offering, entering the sailing segment with the most iconic brand. Our partnership with Edmiston is a natural progression of our shared vision which opens up new opportunities for the future of both brands'.

His sentiments were echoed by Jamie Edmiston, Chief Executive of Edmiston, who expressed; 'Nautor Swan is one of the iconic names within the sailing yacht world. We are excited to embark on this journey with Sanlorenzo and Nautor Swan to establish the brand at the pinnacle of performance sailing yacht production'.

This alliance extends beyond mere yacht building, embracing a broader vision to revitalise the sailing scene, particularly in the US. With Edmiston's Newport office serving as the nexus for this initiative, the partnership is poised to shake things up in the sailing community.

As the yachting world eagerly awaits the unveiling of this new range, it's clear that Nautor Swan and Edmiston are charting a course towards a future where luxury sailing is redefined by innovation, sustainability, and unparalleled craftsmanship. This collaboration promises to deliver vessels that not only perform exceptionally but also embody the spirit of adventure and elegance that discerning sailors crave.
