The new Swift Trawler 48 advances the BENETEAU Range of practical and seaworthy passagemakers. The Andreani design focuses on easy living and circulation that builds on the wealth of Beneteau Trawler DNA and customer feedback.

This full range of models from 35’ to 63’ are designed and built to explore new horizons. Their seaworthiness, incredible living spaces, and comfort have generated a following of 1300+ new builds and hundreds of additional owners in a community of long-distance boaters worldwide. The new Swift Trawler 48 has the size, space, and capability to continue the journey of seasoned cruisers and aspiring cruisers alike. 

The generous 20m² flybridge floor area gives the space to create a comfortable layout so you can enjoy the panorama of the sea every minute of the day. The backrests on either side of the pilot seat allow plentiful forward facing seating while making passage. Additionally, the transverse vis-à-vis seating and table area create a great area to eat & relax. This can be further complimented by the optional flybridge T-top with an inset sliding soft-top. Aft, there is a transverse wetbar facing forward, which allows the person cooking or serving drinks to socialize with others relaxing on board. The aft flybridge space allows for sun loungers, paddleboards, or other small water accessories. 

The helm station with adjacent side door leading to the starboard midship cleat & bulwark gate allows for easy docking and circulation. The helm has space provisioned for 2 x 12” Raymarine MFD screens and the Beneteau Ship Control system. In addition, an aft docking camera, stern docking lights, and the optional Cummins integrated joystick system can be specified for a stress-free docking experience. The helm dash top, console, and adjustable pilot seat are finished in dark grey creating a clean area for safe passage-making in all light conditions and complimenting the excellent helm visibility.
