125 years. More than a century has passed since this marvel has been sailing the seas. Black Swan, this delightful Old Lady, is now more than ever ready to take you on new adventures, striking the perfect balance between luxury and heritage.
Built in 1899 by the renowned shipyard Camper & Nicholsons in England, following a design by Charles E. Nicholson himself, Black Swan has since lived a thousand lives. Sometimes battered by history, she proudly returns today to the luxury charter market in the Mediterranean, and she is definitely not done turning heads yet.
The complete overhaul carried out in 2002 by the famous designer A. Faggioni allowed the Black Swan to conform to the standards of a new era, quite different from that of her conception. Since then, the boat has undergone numerous visits to shipyards and has been constantly maintained and upgraded according to technological advancements to ensure both her longevity and, above all, her competitiveness in terms of equipment and passenger comfort. Black Swan has thus been able to shine, as she continues to do, at some of the most iconic gatherings and sailing races across the seas.
Her hull, spanning over 40 meters, offers accommodation for a total of eight guests, accompanied by 6 crew members. This old rig offers an interior of the utmost refinement, which will impress even the most jaded of gentlemen. It’s a true journey back in time for passengers, immediately transported into an atmosphere of Oregon pine and solid oak, leathers, varnishes, and bronzes. The common areas consist of a lounge from which the horizon is observed as encounters dictate. Being the true heart of the ship’s life, this space connects the front of the ship, mainly dedicated to the crew, to the rear & stern, where the guest areas are found. Forward, in addition to crew cabins, there is the galley, the chart table, and also a double en-suite cabin offered to guests. At the rear, there are two double cabins, each equipped with its own bathroom, facing each other. The owner’s cabin completes the layout; this cabin takes advantage of the full width of the hull and offers not only sleeping space but also a charming bathroom and office space with ample storage.
What about the deck? Black Swan is one of the few boats whose beauty is enhanced in every detail, and her deck is a living testament to that. Firstly, it’s a sense of space & wideness that strikes when stepping on board. The deck is wide, and the smoothness of the teak covering it further invites exploration. Midship, there’s a comfortable and refined dining area that leans against the roof to offer the most beautiful views to guests, no matter where they’re seated. On the other side of the roof, there’s a vast space that can be arranged according to needs, whether for navigation or to accommodate guests. The two masts that both dominate and elevate the gaze complete this unique feeling of floating on a prized piece of maritime history.
Black Swan is now tailored to serve both the most seasoned clients of classic sailing and those seeking an escape into timeless luxury. Under the command of Captain Vincent, the experienced crew of the Black Swan will make every moment on board simply unforgettable.
