The Swift Trawler 52 is a stunning combination of everything that contributes to the joy of cruising with the comfort and performance of a larger pilothouse motor yacht. Truly the top of its class, the new Beneteau ST52 outshines the competition in every category.

Powered by twin Volvo 575 HP diesels, she will cruise effortlessly at 18 knots with a top speed of 24 knots (WOT). At wide open throttle, the ST52 burns only 2 gallons per mile -- amazing fuel efficiency, made possible by her brilliantly engineered hull design, which boasts maximum stability and an impressively comfortable ride even in rough conditions.

Style? She has plenty of it, from her elegant European fit and finish to her light and spacious living areas including a breathtaking full beam master suite with double ports just above waterline.

For a detailed 3rd party look at the ST52, visit boattest.com and see what Captain Steve had to say. (He absolutely admired it!)
