TANGAROA — 20m Nautor's Swan for Charter in Greece
Charter destination
Rhodes, Greece
About this yacht
TANGAROA is an iconic Nautor's Swan sailing yacht, representing a golden era of classic yacht design and craftsmanship. Built in 1975 as hull number 15 of the celebrated Swan 65 series, she was designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens firm, the same naval architects behind Sayula II, winner of the first Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973. TANGAROA carries that same pedigree of performance and timeless elegance.
Measuring 20 metres in length with a 5-metre beam, TANGAROA combines the graceful proportions that define the Swan 65 class with proven seaworthiness. A comprehensive refit between 2007 and 2014 refreshed her systems and interior while preserving the classic character that makes her distinctive. Her single Volvo TMD41L diesel engine provides reliable propulsion, while her generous teak deck and spacious cockpit make her equally suitable for leisurely cruising and engaging sailing.
The interior reflects warm, traditional yacht styling with high-gloss wood panelling and thoughtful use of natural light throughout. The main salon and dining area flows together as an open plan space, anchored by comfortable seating, a proper dining table, and entertainment amenities. Three well-appointed cabins sleep six guests in total: the master suite occupies the aft position with a queen bed and additional single bunk, while two further cabins provide queen berths that can be configured as twins. Each cabin includes its own head and shower facilities.
TANGAROA's cruising grounds are the Eastern Mediterranean, based from Rhodes with intimate knowledge of the Turkish and Greek coastlines. Her professional crew of two speaks English, Turkish, Italian, and Greek fluently, bringing deep familiarity with the region's best anchorages, hidden coves, and local culture. Over more than a decade of continuous operation between Turkey and Greece, TANGAROA has established herself as a reliable, well-maintained platform for discovering these classic waters.
On deck, generous cushioned seating in the cockpit and al fresco dining options make her ideal for relaxed Mediterranean cruising. The swim platform, fishing gear, and comprehensive onboard amenities—including library, audio system, and Wi-Fi—ensure guests enjoy both comfort and entertainment throughout their voyage.
TANGAROA charter offers a rare opportunity to experience the refined elegance of a classic Swan 65 in one of the world's most storied cruising regions, with a crew that knows these waters intimately. She is available for weekly charter from €14,000 to €16,000 depending on season.
