Swan 53 ELAN for sale with Yeoman Yachts
Swan 53 for sale:

ELAN

ELAN is better than new? Just read over the following upgrades made in 2016 and then again in 2022 to the present and decide for yourself.

One simply runs out of accolades to describe this incredible Swan 53. I am sure there is nothing like her anywhere in the world, on or off the brokerage market.

The present owner purchased ELAN, then JANE, on the west coast in 2022 and arranged to sail her from CA, via the Panama Canal, to Jamestown RI where she underwent another major refit. See below "2022 to 2024 refit".

A change of the owner’s plans is allowing this incredible yacht to become available again. Run, don’t walk, to see this Swan. You will not be disappointed.
