BLACK SWAN is a rare and extraordinary classic sailing yacht that embodies more than a century of maritime history, elegance, and craftsmanship. Built in 1899, she represents a remarkable fusion of heritage and refined luxury, offering an experience that transcends modern yachting and invites guests into a world of timeless beauty.
Her presence on the water is striking, with a hull exceeding 40 metres and graceful lines that speak of another era. Every detail on board reflects her storied past, carefully preserved and enhanced through meticulous restoration and continuous upgrades. A comprehensive overhaul in the early 2000s transformed BLACK SWAN to meet modern standards of comfort and safety, while respecting the soul and authenticity that define her character.
The interior is a journey back in time, defined by noble materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Oregon pine, solid oak, leather finishes, polished varnishes, and bronze details create a warm, elegant atmosphere that feels both intimate and distinguished. The main lounge serves as the heart of life on board, a space where guests gather to relax, convers,e and observe the horizon, seamlessly connecting the forward operational areas with the private guest quarters aft.
Accommodation is arranged for up to 8 guests in beautifully appointed cabins. A forward double en-suite cabin complements the layout, while two additional double cabins are located aft, facing each other and offering comfort and privacy. The full-beam owner’s cabin completes the arrangement, spanning the width of the hull and featuring not only sleeping quarters but also a charming bathroom and an office area with ample storage. Each space reflects a refined sense of understated luxury, where history and comfort coexist harmoniously.
The deck of BLACK SWAN is a defining feature in its own right. Wide, elegant, and covered in smooth teak, it conveys a sense of space and freedom rarely found on modern yachts. Midship, a refined dining area, is located beneath the deckhouse roof, offering exceptional views from any seat. Additional open areas provide flexibility for both sailing operations and guest enjoyment, while the twin masts rise above, reinforcing the powerful impression of sailing aboard a living piece of maritime heritage.
Commanded by an experienced captain and supported by a dedicated crew of six, BLACK SWAN offers a charter experience that is both authentic and impeccably executed. Every moment on board is shaped by expertise, passion, and attention to detail, ensuring that guests enjoy not just a voyage, but a true immersion into the art of classic sailing.
