Built in 2007 as a bespoke Swan 78 Custom, VALKYRIE represents the pedigree and craftsmanship synonymous with the Finnish shipyard Nautor’s Swan. Designed by Germán Frers with naval architecture by Bill Tripp, she combines Nordic elegance with offshore capability, offering a refined balance between performance sailing and long-range comfort. Nautor's Swan VALKYRIE is a yacht conceived for owners who value quality, seaworthiness, and timeless design.
VALKYRIE features an advanced lifting keel system that delivers exceptional sailing performance while maintaining access to shallow harbors and anchorages. The deep ballast package ensures high stability with reduced displacement, supported by a sleek foil shape designed without compromise. A modern sail plan including retractable bowsprit, furling headsails, asymmetric spinnakers, and Code Zeros enhances versatility across a wide range of conditions.
The deck plan is defined by a low-profile coachroof, flush foredeck, and clean, uncluttered lines. A protected guest cockpit is positioned amidships, with a dedicated sailing cockpit aft for precise handling under way. Below deck, VALKYRIE offers a fully outfitted interior with 4 guest cabins, 3 featuring ensuite facilities, a spacious salon, and a well-appointed galley. Separate crew quarters for up to 3 ensure privacy and practical operation during extended voyages.
Constructed using advanced composite materials with prepreg carbon and Corecell core, VALKYRIE benefits from a lightweight yet robust structure engineered for offshore sailing. Structural integration of the keel box reinforces hull, deck, and mast step as a unified system, underscoring her build quality. Now offered as Swan 78 VALKYRIE for sale, she presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a proven bluewater yacht combining performance, comfort, and enduring Swan pedigree.
