The Swan 128, the largest model in Nautor Swan’s Maxi range, has entered the paint booth as part of its ongoing construction process. The 39-metre superyacht is now undergoing the next stage, where its carbon-composite hull will receive a protective coating designed to enhance the vessel’s aerodynamic lines and provide durability for future voyages.

Designed by Germán Frers, the Swan 128 features a semi-raised deck saloon and an interior created to ensure comfort during extended ocean journeys. The yacht is designed with a focus on combining performance and luxury, continuing the Swan tradition of integrating advanced sailing technology with refined craftsmanship.

As the Swan 128 progresses through its build, its hull painting marks an important step toward its completion.
