NAUTOR SWAN 48 ALFA HELIX
The Nautor Swan 48 is synonymous with excellence in the world of high-end cruising sailing. Internationally recognized, the Finnish brand Nautor Swan has built a reputation for quality, elegance, and performance over decades, attributes that are perfectly appreciated in this pre-owned sailboat, currently in Barcelona. With a length of 14.82 meters, a beam of 4.32 meters, and a draft of 2.4 meters, the Swan 48 combines classic lines with the innovation that characterizes the legendary designer German Frers, responsible for its elegant profile and exceptional behavior at sea.
This sailboat, built in the year 2000, stands out for its state of preservation and equipment that has undergone constant improvements and maintenance over time. It is number 145 of its series, one of the last examples of the Swan 48 generation designed by Frers, and its double cockpit layout ensures safety in offshore navigation and maneuverability both on ocean crossings and coastal cruises in the Mediterranean. Its spacious aft cockpit, with ergonomic seating and features such as the folding swim platform and integrated ladder, facilitates both life on board and access to the water, key for those looking to combine sailing with leisure moments anchored in Mediterranean coves.
The interior, designed for long stays and comfort in any condition, features three cabins and two full bathrooms with integrated showers. The master cabin is located aft, with a central double bed and private access from the cockpit, an unusual layout that prioritizes privacy and spaciousness. The guest cabins to port and starboard offer bunks in double configuration, ideal for both families and crew. The main salon, generous in space and light, invites relaxation after a day of sailing, with a warm atmosphere thanks to high-quality wooden furniture and climate control: air conditioning in the master cabin and Eberspacher heating system for all living areas.
The kitchen is another strong point of this Nautor Swan 48. Equipped with additional refrigerators, Isotherm freezer, Siemens microwave oven, stainless steel FORCE 10 three-burner stove, and Spectra water maker, it is perfect for extended voyages. The fresh water system, with a capacity of 430 liters distributed in two tanks, includes a purifier, deck shower, and outlets both at the bow and on the swim platform, facilitating life on board even during long-distance navigation.
On the technical side, the sailboat is powered by a VOLVO PENTA MD22 engine with 57 HP, with a MAX PROP three-blade propeller and a 75 A Amptech alternator, providing reliability and power both in port and during maneuvers. The electrical system relies on state-of-the-art lithium batteries and a Mass Sine inverter, ensuring autonomy and energy efficiency. The navigation and communication equipment includes a Raymarine suite (autopilot, plotter, radar), Simrad GPS, Icom SSB, VHF with dual station, and KVH satellite broadband, providing the captain and crew with all the tools to navigate safely in any environment.
On deck, the Swan 48 stands out for the quality of its finishes: original teak deck, Lewmar electric winches, Lewmar 1500W windlass, and details such as teak handrails and life lines with access hatches. The aluminum rigging from Nautor, with renewed standing rigging and carbon bowsprit, allows for a wide variety of sails and configurations depending on the conditions: mainsail, two roller genoa sails, optional staysail, code zero, symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnakers, as well as a trysail for bad weather. This versatility makes it an ideal platform for both racing and cruising, with agile, stable, and easy handling even with a reduced crew.
Regarding safety, the equipment is comprehensive: liferaft, remote fire extinguishing system in the engine room, extinguishers distributed in different areas, man overboard module, and CE certification. The hull, constructed of fiberglass with white gelcoat and reinforcements at key points, provides robustness and durability, while the cable-assisted rudder and stainless steel wheel ensure precise steering in all conditions.
The location in Barcelona represents a privileged opportunity for those looking for a sailboat ready to set sail without delays from one of the main ports of the Mediterranean, with direct access to offshore routes, the Balearic Islands, and the rest of the Mediterranean coast. This pre-owned Nautor Swan 48 is the ideal choice for experienced sailors, families who value quality and comfort, or owners who want a safe, versatile, and prestigious sailboat, capable of providing great satisfaction both on ocean crossings and weekend getaways.
