Our Vessel
Meet Gemini II.
A 1993 Nautor Swan 55 Center Cockpit. One of the finest offshore cruising yachts ever built — and the boat that will take you across oceans.
The Story
A Swan 55.
Built to Last Forever.
Nautor's Swan yachts are among the most respected offshore cruising boats ever built. The Swan 55 Center Cockpit — launched in 1993 — was designed for one purpose: serious blue-water passage making. Gemini II is a prime example of that pedigree.
Her center cockpit layout gives students a safe, protected helm position in all conditions, while the aft cabin provides additional privacy and comfort on longer passages. Below decks she is spacious, well-equipped, and built to the exacting standards that have made Swan synonymous with offshore excellence.
She has logged many offshore miles and has many more ahead of her. Every passage has added to her story — and to the stories of the sailors who have crewed her.

She Teaches What No Textbook Can.
Sail Trim & Performance
You'll learn to read the sails, feel the boat, and squeeze every knot out of the wind — skills that only come from time on the water.
Heavy Weather Handling
She's been through squalls, gales, and everything in between. You'll learn how to reef early, heave-to, and keep the crew safe when conditions build.
Offshore Watch-Keeping
On multi-day passages, you'll stand real watches, navigate by chart and GPS, and understand what it means to be responsible for a vessel at sea.
