Northrop & Johnson is delighted to announce the sale of the 86′ (26.23m) Nautor Swan sailing yacht ASPIRATION by Yacht Broker Jaap Havenga, acting on behalf of the buyer and the seller. We extend special thanks to Martin Holmes from Northrop & Johnson Asia for his support throughout the process. The yacht was last asking $795,000.00.
Under her previous ownership, ASPIRATION underwent significant improvements and upgrades. Recent major improvements included a new engine, prop shaft, cutlass bearings, and thru hulls, along with a complete rig inspection and refit, among other enhancements.
Designed by German Frers, she epitomizes the Nautor Swan “cruiser-racer” style, offering both performance and elegance. She features two cockpits, including an aft helm working cockpit and a large center cockpit with a dining table suitable for alfresco meals. Her classic-style interior in teak with a satin finish displays timeless elegance and offers comfort and luxury.
Accommodating up to six guests across three cabins, ASPIRATION ensures a comfortable experience on board. Her spacious master cabin aft, VIP cabin forward of the main saloon, and additional guest stateroom provide luxurious accommodations, while crew cabins guarantee top-notch service. With her classic-style interior and spacious deck areas, she is well-suited for family adventures, entertaining guests, chartering, or racing.
ASPIRATION’s construction includes a fiberglass hull designed by German Frers. With a maximum speed of 10 knots and a cruising speed of 8 knots, she offers both performance and efficiency on the water. She also possesses the optional “wing keel,” with a lead casting and antimony for optimal ballast. Equipped with cable steering gear and a recessed destroyer-type single wheel with an elk-hide cover, ASPIRATION offers effortless control and handling. Two watertight bulkheads, located in the anchor locker and lazarette, enhance safety and structural integrity.
