MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

One glance at the perfect lines of a Sweden Yachts 54, and you are bound to fall in love. Every line and plane says speed and beauty, like a thoroughbred champing at the bit. The impression is striking, to say the least! 

As on all Sweden Yachts, every detail is in perfect balance, from the shape of the hull to the design of the rig. With everything working together as a harmonious whole to create the best performing luxury 54-footer available. Because the Sweden Yachts 54 is designed for performance sailing right from the start.

“Nowhere do you get more luxury boat for your money than at Sweden Yachts”: Ference Máté, author of The World’s Best Sailboats. 

The Sweden Yachts 54 is sheer class throughout. The pure lines of the Swedish design idiom are evident in every detail, with everything quietly reflecting our yacht design philosophy: strive for the ultimate. Experience the sophisticated elegance, the superb level of equipment and the unique ambience of a Sweden Yachts 54 for yourself and you are sure to agree that we have come within a whisker of perfection. The only surprise awaiting you when you invest in a Sweden Yachts 54 is that it will exceed your expectations and wildest flights of fancy. You may call it luxury. For us, it is standard.

A Sweden Yachts 54 is built using only the best materials, fittings, furnishings and equipment. Every item is selected with the utmost care to meet our standards – the highest levels of performance, durability, comfort and appearance. In short, every item is selected with excellence in mind, so as to contribute to a harmonious whole.

When you choose a Sweden Yachts 54 you are selecting a yacht with an imposing personality. The master craftsmanship and artistry behind every feature lend an individual quality and appearance to each yacht. 

Step on board a Sweden Yachts 54 and you instinctively feel the pride and devotion of the craftsmen who built it. Every piece of wood is oil varnished up to ten times before being fitted together. The teak selected by our master joiner for the cockpit and deck is finished to a miracle of smoothness. And we guarantee that we use only teak grown under the control of environmental authorities. 

The sophisticated below-deck accommodations of the Sweden Yachts 54 are a masterpiece of interior design. This is where you can enjoy the good life at its best. The whole atmosphere is one of harmony and natural beauty. The carpentry is so skilled and meticulous that every wooden feature seems to have grown straight out of the solid timber. The generous portlights let the light stream into the saloon, accentuating the beauty of the appointments and the special Sweden Yachts 54 ambience.

Sailing is, of course, a lifestyle choice that leaves a unique imprint on every yachtsman. The Sweden Yachts 54 is a lifetime choice that reflects your unique personality and leaves your imprint on the world about you.

The Sweden Yachts 54 handles just as well on short active racing tacks as it does when leisurely cruising downwind on a sunny day. In fact, it is so well behaved that you can experience the sailing pleasure solo, whenever you feel like it. So even if they would prefer not to miss the fun, be selfish – treat yourself, and give the crew a day off now and then.

As soon as you take the helm on your first cruise in a Sweden Yachts 54, you will know that your dreams have come true. Here, the helmsman comes first. Every feature is positioned for precise operation with the minimum effort. And like every other aspect of this striking beauty, the comfort and ergonomics of the cockpit are superb.
