Nautor's Swan sailboats are built in Finland and considered the world's most highly revered sailboats. The beauty, quality and performance of Swan's have captivated the admiration of the sailing community for years. Destiny is a beautiful sleek yacht designed by the famous naval architect German Frers and was launched in 1986. The Swan 46 was the most sought after sailboat design built throughout the 80's and 90's, and still desired today. This classic yacht is professionally maintained to the highest standard making Destiny one of the finest Swan 46 sailboats remaining in the world. Destiny's elegant presence and visual lines make her an ideal sailing yacht for photographic opportunities. This privately owned yacht is available for movie filming, television filming, general advertising, fashion modeling and professional photography.
Destiny is located in Southern California making her readily available from San Diego to Santa Barbara within the Inner Coastal Waters Region. Catalina Island is a great photography location for Destiny providing some of the most undisturbed natural settings in Southern California as a background. Destiny can be photographed in close up shots while moored at a marina or anchored out for wider background shots. The yacht club and marina where Destiny is berthed has been used many times in the filming and advertising industry, providing a cooperative environment. The yacht is made available with a captain and/or crew depending on the requirements desired. The yacht is available by the hour, day, week or month(s) depending on the specific project and schedule availability. Distant relocation of Destiny would be considered for longer term projects only and dependant on conditions.
Destiny is rich with high quality stainless hardware on deck, beautiful teak wood decks and an elegantly varnished full teak wood interior. The teak wood decks provide great nautical photography both when dry and when wet, which yield two entirely different looks. The Swan 46 MKI was built as an offshore racer/cruiser which gives Destiny timeless sailboat lines admired by sailors around the world.
Destiny is 46 feet on deck with an overall length of 49 feet, 14.5 feet at the beam width and drafts 6 feet in depth. The interior consists of two staterooms, two heads, navigation station, galley and main salon. The interior varnish has been greatly enhanced over the years of ownership making Destiny unique to other Swan 46 yachts. The decks are fitted with (14) beautifully polished wenches that provide impressive photography from any angle. Biminis top and dodger can be quickly removed for clear deck photography.
