We’re proud to officially present our new flagship, the SW123, the largest yacht built to date by the yard. This groundbreaking project not only expands our portfolio of high-performance luxury Smart Custom yachts but also takes the concept to unprecedented levels. SW123 is a Smart Custom yacht reimagined at the highest level: responsible, sophisticated, performance-oriented, elegant, and ocean-going. "The SW123 is based on a versatile design platform that can be adapted to suit her owner’s expectations and intended usage. Whether the preference is for a long-range bluewater cruiser, regatta champion, or successful charter yacht, the SW123 can be optimized to match the design brief of the owner’s dream yacht. Following the Smart Custom philosophy, the initial platform has been created so that owners can adapt certain features to their objectives while leaving the reliable and tested base structure untouched," Andrea Micheli, Southern Wind CCO. The first unit of SW123 is already under construction, with launch scheduled for February 2027.

The Southern Wind spirit knows no boundaries, at sea or in the mountains. Last weekend, the Southern Wind Winter Rendezvous brought owners together in Verbier, Switzerland, for an unforgettable experience. From a warm chalet dinner in the company of the legend Skip Novak to a friendly ski race, an exclusive aperitif at Club du Chalet Blanc, and the Beyond the Blue White Lunch overlooking the Pennine Alps, the event embodied the camaraderie of the Southern Wind community. "Southern Wind may set the stage, but it is the owners who bring the event to life." – Andrea Micheli, SW CCO.
