Swan 68-004 Explotadot was originally launched in 1993 as ‘Solleone’ for the chairman of Nautor Swan. She was the first Swan 68 to feature four guest cabins with a galley forward arrangement, allowing greater separation from guests and crew. This Germàn Frers designed yacht still maintains her classic lines and provides a true feeling of luxury and comfort. She had her first major refit in 2006/2007 where many systems were upgraded and a new bow-thruster installed and again spent the majority of 2014 undergoing a complete refit in Genoa. In 2019, the boat had another new refit in preparation to cross the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean which also included the main engine and generator.
