A 23-metre walkaround motor yacht from Nautor Swan
The Swan Arrow expands Nautor Swan's power-yacht family into a substantially larger format. Designed by Jarkko Jämsén, the 23.2-metre model uses a walkaround layout and combines the open-air character of the smaller Swan Shadow boats with the accommodation and social volume expected of a luxury motor yacht. Nautor describes the concept as bringing superyacht-style features into a yacht that remains below 24 metres.
A major focus on the water's edge
One of the Arrow's most distinctive features is its opening side-platform arrangement. When deployed, the platforms create a broad beach area of roughly 50 square metres, making the stern a central part of life aboard rather than simply a boarding point. The protected cockpit uses an opening roof and movable glazing, allowing the main deck to shift between a more sheltered saloon environment and a much more open connection with the sea.
Performance with cruising accommodation
The official specification lists twin 1,000 hp engines as standard, with a three-engine option for owners seeking higher performance. Below deck, the larger hull volume allows the Arrow to offer genuine cruising accommodation rather than the limited overnight capability of a dayboat. For buyers shopping near the top of the sub-24-metre market, it is an unusual alternative to conventional flybridge and sports-yacht layouts, particularly for those prioritising open decks and waterside living.
