Sailing Yacht · 23,99 m VALKYRIE
VALKYRIE is a luxury offshore sailing yacht built by the world-renowned Finnish shipyard NAUTOR SWAN, an undisputed leader in high-end yacht construction. This bespoke Swan 78 Custom, designed by the acclaimed naval architect Bill Tripp, embodies Nordic elegance, superior performance, and the robustness required for ocean voyages, all while offering the comfort of a five-star floating residence.
Perfectly suited for long-distance cruising and high-level racing, VALKYRIE combines cutting-edge design, advanced technology, and refined craftsmanship. Her carbon fiber hull, lifting keel, and modern sail plan ensure remarkable stability and excellent maneuverability—even with a reduced crew.
One of the yacht’s standout features is her elevated panoramic saloon, which floods the interior with natural light and offers 360° views of the surroundings—an exceptional rarity on yachts of this size. The interior décor is warm, minimalist, and finished in light wood tones, creating an inviting and relaxing atmosphere.
VALKYRIE accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 guest cabins, including a generous owner’s suite forward with a private bathroom and office desk. Three additional guest cabins (two with en-suites) and a separate crew cabin with independent access ensure comfort and privacy for all on board.
Meticulously maintained, VALKYRIE is presented in excellent technical condition and built to CE Commercial Yacht standards under the French flag. She represents a rare opportunity to acquire a top-tier Swan yacht, ready for a world tour, exclusive charter program, or international racing circuit.
