Swan 112 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Swan 112 RS means entering the rarest end of Nautor Swan ownership. Five were built between 1999 and 2006, German Frers' 34.54-meter megayacht and the builder's first step into this size class. These are not boats that turn over often, and the examples that do appear tend to reflect their original superyacht brief rather than stripped owner versions.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin arrangements are the more common configuration seen on the resale market, though both layout types do come up. Ex-charter examples are common, which matters for a buyer because a four-cabin charter history usually means heavier system use and more rigorous wear on the accommodation spaces than a privately used hull would show. Either way, the 112 RS was planned with ergonomics so a modest four-person crew could run her, so the core handling logic stays consistent across layouts.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A bow thruster is commonly fitted and is close to expected on these yachts, a real asset given the 110,000 kg displacement and 4.40 m draft when maneuvering in marinas. Beyond that, the used fleet often carries a watermaker, air conditioning, inverter, electric winches, and a freezer — the energy and comfort cluster that lets a four-person crew live aboard independently. Navigation and connectivity are typically covered by radar, autopilot, chartplotter, and Starlink, while teak decks are an often-seen cosmetic and grip upgrade. The MTU 414 hp engine is the standard plant, sized for a hull of this mass rather than speed.
What to Inspect
With only five hulls and a tightly documented specification, the buyer's inspection should center on the known structure and systems rather than rumored faults. Confirm the MTU 414 hp engine service history and the 28,000 kg ballast integrity, and verify the masthead rig geometry — the 40.80 m I height and 36.87 m mainsail luff are large enough that rigging fatigue is the priority over cosmetic items anchor. The 237.8 m² mainsail and 712 m² gennaker mean sail-handling gear such as the electric winches should be load-tested, not just visually checked.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical markets where these yachts appear are Panama, Spain, and Greece. For a buyer, the practical checklist is straightforward: expect a commonly fitted bow thruster and often-seen watermaker, air conditioning, electric winches, and teak decks; weigh ex-charter four-cabin history against privately used examples; confirm the MTU engine and Frers rig documentation; and plan for the 4.40 m draft and 240,000 lb displacement in every berthing decision.
