Offered in very good condition, Penthesilea is a well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped Swan 54, designed by German Frers and built by Nautor Swan in Pietarsaari, Finland. A true blue water cruiser, she combines performance and comfort effortlessly—capable of sailing from just 5 knots of true wind speed.
This particular yacht is fitted with several notable features, including: In-mast furling mainsail, Lifting centreboard reducing draft from 3.7 m to 1.4 m, Bow and stern thrusters, Air conditioning throughout, etc... Her layout includes three cabins plus a separate crew cabin, with two heads, making her suitable for both private cruising and extended voyages with guests or crew.
In 2023, Penthesilea underwent a overhaul at an official Nautor Swan service centre, and she continues to benefit from regular monthly maintenance, ensuring she is in excellent condition and ready for her next adventure.

Comments
Owners comment:
"My wife and I are the proud owners of Penthesilea. She’s a fantastic sailing yacht, also when there’s little wind and she’s fully equipped to help you navigate comfortably.
As our family has expanded, we’re moving on to a larger yacht. We’re sad to see Penthesilea go.
We’ve done a lot of work in 2023 and 2024 and maintained her meticulously. We hope she may find owners that have found as much enjoyment with her as we have."
