Milestone! Nautor Swan Launches Its Flagship Powerboat "Solle One"
launched the 23.2-meter motor yacht "Solle One" at the Sanlorenzo shipyard in La Spezia, Italy. This event marks a pivotal milestone for the company, following Sanlorenzo's acquisition of Nautor Swan in August 2024.
The "Solle One" is the flagship model of Nautor Swan's motor yacht division, a series known as the Swan Arrow. The concept for this series was first unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2023. Originally conceived as a chase boat, it gradually evolved throughout its design process until it emerged as a standalone luxury yacht.
Exterior Design: A Fusion of Luxury and Adventure
The yacht's exterior was designed by Finnish designer Jarkko Jämsén, Nautor Swan's resident yacht designer. He sourced his design inspiration from the strong connection he observed between sailing and the ocean. Striving to maximize the sensation and enjoyment of being outdoors and on the water, he ingeniously blended it with all the comforts of a motor yacht.
The yacht features a walk-on deck design and a 50-square-meter beach club with a slightly raised, foldable terrace. The cockpit rooftop can be opened or closed depending on climate conditions, and glass doors are designed to rotate and slide for enhanced air circulation when needed.
Interior Design: Modern Elegance Meets Functionality
The yacht's interior, crafted meticulously by Ioanna Marinopoulou and Axel de Beaufort, showcases modern lines and spacious interiors, effectively melding sporty elegance and function. It is designed as an "open" yacht, ideal for extended cruising.
Below deck, the yacht adopts a standard three-cabin configuration, accommodating up to six guests, with additional crew quarters for two. Alternatively, a layout option features two spacious double guest cabins with a relaxation area in the yacht's center for those who prefer indoor relaxation.
With a beam of 6.9 meters and three inboard Volvo Penta engines, the yacht can achieve top speeds of up to 40 knots.
The Swan Arrow Line: Pushing Nautical Boundaries
Leonardo Ferragamo, the Nautor Group's president, emphasized the Swan Arrow series' role in advancing yacht design while staying true to Nautor Swan's traditions. The Swan Arrow demonstrates our commitment to innovation while respecting our timeless traditions, embodying Nautor's genes of elegance, performance, quality, and reliability," Ferragamo added. "It greatly enhances the consistency of the unique features we have created."
The yacht will be exhibited at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10th to 15th, with the booth number QML 026. It will then be displayed at the Salone Nautico in Genoa from September 19th to 24th. The yacht is set to establish new standards in the motor yacht category, offering a luxurious, refined water experience.
