Marina di Scarlino on Italy’s Tuscan seaboard will host the Nautor’s Swan Experience, which will run from October 13-20 and include the Scarlino One Design Worlds (October 13-17) and the overlapping Swan Private Boat Show (October 16-20).
The Swan One Design Worlds will feature classes for the ClubSwan 50, ClubSwan 36, ClubSwan 42 and Swan 45.
The Swan Private Boat Show will feature a range of Swan sailing yachts including the 48, 54, 65, 78 and 98, plus ClubSwan 36 and 50 models, while brokerage and charter yachts include a ClubSwan 50, the Swan 68 Explotadot, Swan 75 Kairos and the Swan 115 Solleone.
The eight-day Swan Experience is designed to show owners and crew the full range of services and experiences the brand can offer including Nautor’s Swan Brokerage, Nautor’s Swan Charters, Nautor’s Swan Global Service and Marina di Scarlino itself, host to the recent Swan Tuscany Challenge.
As well as being a port, resort, boatyard and a Nautor’s Swan service centre, Marina di Scarlino includes apartments, hotel rooms, shops, bars, restaurants, a beauty centre, beach and pool clubs.
Giovanni Pomati, CEO of Nautor Group, said: “We have long wanted to present a 360-degree view of the Nautor Group, and the Nautor’s Swan Experience has been on the table for many months. It will be wonderful to bring together the new yachts in the Swan line, especially those built for crossing the seven seas and exploring the world and its remote spots.
“Our Charter Service is for those simply passionate about the brand or looking to experience the brand before committing. The Brokerage team meets customer needs to sell their boats, while the Global Service are the real guardian angels available 24/7, 365 days a year.
“Combining all this at Marina di Scarlino with one of our special racing events confirms Nautor’s Swan is a brand walking hand in hand with its owners, making them feel part of an amazing, international family.”
Some of the Covid-19 safety measures being put in place are social distancing, compulsory mask wearing in public spaces, and testing of staff and crews ahead of the event, while yachts in the Swan Private Boat Show will be comprehensively cleaned between visits.
