Ichiban was founded in 1982 based upon a genuine love for sailing and life at sea. It provides you the opportunity to share all gifts that sailing offers aboard the Ichiban.
S/Y Ichiban was built in Finland as an extended SWAN 651. The first years her homeport was in Sicily; in 1991 the majority of her interior was remodelled and in 1999 she came to Stockholm, when she was renamed Ichiban.
She is used from April to September for luxury yacht charter with a two-man crew. The rest of the year she undergoes meticulous improvements and upgrading.
The company was established with the goal to meet interesting people, discover amazing places and last but not least, experience adventures. The lure of life at sea, the wind as power in motion, mastering the elements... These are the primal instincts that drive all Ichiban experiences.
