An arrangement to enjoy a long cruise with your family
The Swift Trawler 48 is the largest model in the Bénéteau range of the same name. With a length of 14.74 m and a beam of 4.50 m, it offers a living space perfectly adapted to family cruising. On board, there are three cabins for a total of six berths and a saloon that can be converted for two additional people to sleep in. The 640 L water tank should ensure sufficient autonomy for life on board in autonomy.
A semi-planing hull offering autonomy and fuel reduction
The semi-planing hull of the Swift Trawler 48, developed by the naval architecture firm Micad, optimizes fuel consumption and ensures comfort while sailing. Approved in category B, the boat can accommodate up to 12 people on board. Its large fuel tanks of 1,930 liters, combined with a moderate cruising speed of 9 knots, give it a range of 714 miles, which confirms the associated cruising program.
Facilitating life on board and sailing as a couple
The design is by Andreani and focuses on a comfortable layout, ease of movement, but also navigation, with direct access to the gangways from the cockpit. Bow and stern thrusters, installed as standard, also meet the same needs. From an aesthetic point of view, the Swift Trawler 48 takes up some of the decorative elements of the Grand Trawler 62, such as the roof support with the brand's logo.
A French production
This model, like the 35- and 41-footers, is produced in the Vendée shipyard's birthplace, in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, while the larger 62-foot model is manufactured in Monfalcone, in northeast Italy. The construction is made of fiberglass and balsa sandwich for a final weight of 12,685 kg, rather light compared to the competition.
