ON ORDER - Beneteau FOR SALE

Discover the perfect union of comfort and dependability aboard the Beneteau Swift Trawler 48, a refined balance of style and substance that defines the ultimate mid‑range cruiser. Next available delivery in September 2023. Purpose-built for efficient passagemaking, its optimized hull and powertrain deliver exceptional economy and range: expect about 1000 NM at 8 knots, roughly 600 NM at 10–12 knots, and more than 300 NM at 20 knots—ideal for long-distance cruising without compromise.

Confident handling comes naturally with bow and stern thrusters, twin thrusters, and autopilot simplifying close-quarters maneuvers and effortless course-keeping. Safety, security, and reliability are foundational, with robust navigation systems and the renowned pairing of Cummins diesel engines on straight shafts—one of the most trusted, low‑maintenance combinations on the water.

Versatility is at the heart of this bluewater-ready motor yacht. Whether you’re fishing, coastal cruising, or entertaining, the expansive cockpit and the class-leading flybridge with opening sunroof create generous outdoor living areas. A hydraulic swimming platform doubles as tender storage, making water access and launch a breeze, while thoughtful deck circulation elevates every moment at sea.

Bathed in natural light, the interior is designed for extended stays and effortless liveaboard comfort. The main deck features a gourmet galley to port aft with a full-height fridge/freezer, Corian countertops, and abundant stowage, complemented by a substantial starboard sideboard configurable with Villeroy & Boch crockery and glassware. Forward, a raised dinette converts easily to a double berth, and the starboard helm sits beside a sliding side door and bulwark door for seamless docking and side access. Below, three serene staterooms and two well-appointed heads deliver private, beautifully finished accommodations for family and guests. A three‑year warranty underscores the build quality and peace of mind.

A trawler yacht, flybridge motor yacht, long‑range cruiser, and true passagemaker in one, the Swift Trawler 48 is a sophisticated bluewater cruising yacht ready to elevate every voyage.

Construction

Crafted for strength, poise, and long-range composure, the hull is a resin-infused sandwich structure in polyester and fiberglass, finished in a pristine White gelcoat 9010. Beneath the gloss, a structural hull counter-molding in monolithic laminate—also executed via polyester resin infusion with fiberglass—adds rigidity and longevity, while the semi-planing profile delivers the ideal balance of efficiency, lift, and seakeeping. The deck continues the theme of purposeful refinement with a sandwich lay-up in polyester resin–fiberglass over a balsa core, a structural counter-molding in monolithic laminate (polyester resin–fiberglass), the same White gelcoat 9010, and a diamond-tip non-slip surface for assured footing in all conditions. The ambience is warm and contemporary: Alpi teak woodwork complements a teak deck with black seams; interior and exterior seating is upholstered in Marlin Brilliant White PVC, with an anthracite pilot seat providing a sophisticated contrast that underscores the yacht’s confident aesthetic.

Deck equipment

Board with confidence via the starboard gangway door and appreciate a mooring and anchoring layout engineered for effortless control: a double stainless-steel bow fitting, a powerful 2,000 W vertical electric windlass with up/down function and remote controls at the windlass, wheelhouse, and flybridge, ten aluminum mooring cleats measuring 400 mm in length (15 3/4''), stainless-steel gunwale guards, and two compartments equipped with self-bailers and protective polyester hoods. Safety flows seamlessly from bow to cockpit thanks to an open stainless-steel pulpit that sweeps around to the steps, and leather-clad stainless-steel handrails placed exactly where you reach for them. The self-bailing cockpit is as practical as it is welcoming, with two lockable, gas-piston-assisted floor lockers, a gas cylinder locker integrated within the aft bench, a hot/cold cockpit shower, and a double port-side cockpit access door. A generous swim platform in natural teak with stringers and battens (4 x 1.4 m / 13’1’’ x 4’7’’) invites the water, supported by an ergonomic bathing ladder with built-in handholds, a PMMA access door to the starboard side deck from the cockpit, and an emergency ladder. Above, the self-bailing flybridge is reached by a retractable stainless-steel staircase with a double access ramp and teak steps. Enjoy a grey-tinted PMMA windscreen and access via a robust polyester hatch, with a stainless-steel pulpit surrounding the aft section and a polyester mast ready to mount navigation lights, radar, and aerials. The central helm puts everything to hand: electronic engine controls, windlass control, thruster and trim tab switches, clear gauges, a rudder angle indicator, a stainless-steel steering wheel, a steering compass, hydraulic steering, a fog horn, and a USB socket, all with reserved space for your navigation electronics. Comfort is equally considered with one adjustable pilot’s seat and three co-pilot positions featuring a convertible backrest, an inviting flybridge lounge formed by one L-shaped bench with built-in storage and an extendable teak table, a GRP module with sink, handrail, and stowage, and a dedicated space for a life raft with stainless-steel fixing bolt plates.

Engine

Reliable, efficient propulsion comes via robust shafts turning four-blade propellers, driven by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 L engines rated at 2 x 380 HP (2 x 279 kW). Protection and durability are built in with fuel filters and seawater strainers, while the engine room is thoroughly soundproofed using high-density foam at 40 mm thickness. Cooling air is drawn through an intake on the port hull plating to stabilize engine-compartment temperatures, and safety is served by a fitted extinguisher. Refueling is streamlined with a double fuel tank filling cap feeding two inter-connected aluminum fuel tanks with a total capacity of 2 x 965 L (2 x 255 US Gal), pre-fitted for an FPS (Fuel Polishing System) connection. Steering confidence comes from a comprehensive system featuring two stainless-steel rudders, hydraulic steering, and electric trim tabs.

Electrical

Power management is straightforward and versatile with a combined 12 V / 110 V electrical panel and a 110 V shore-power inlet. You will find twelve 110 V sockets thoughtfully distributed—two in the salon, two in the galley, two in the owner’s cabin, one in the VIP cabin, one in the third cabin, one in the owner’s head, and one in the second head—plus two dedicated TV sockets in the salon and the owner’s cabin. Connectivity continues with twelve USB sockets: two in the salon, two at the helm, four in the owner’s cabin, two in the VIP cabin, and two in the third cabin. Entertainment and data are supported by two double antenna sockets (TNT/SAT). Energy storage and starting power are generous and segregated, comprising two 12 V 140 Ah service batteries, four 12 V 50 Ah engine-start batteries, and four 12 V 50 Ah bow-thruster batteries, replenished by two 25 Ah battery chargers and complemented by a 12 V power outlet. Illumination is both functional and atmospheric, with exterior and interior lighting that includes overhead and reading lights, LED indirect lighting, navigation lights, and a mooring light secured on stainless-steel fittings.

Salon

With headroom of 1.97 m (6’5’’), the salon is an elevated haven of light and versatility. A raised U-shaped dinette transforms into a generous double berth measuring 2.4 x 1.32 m (7’10’’ x 4’4’’), complete with a dividing rail and curtains for privacy. Roman blinds frame an opening window, while an adjustable-height varnished wood dining table anchors convivial moments. Practical elegance continues with a sideboard featuring shelved cupboards and a wine rack, and a three-panel aft sliding door in a black lacquered aluminum frame opens the space to the cockpit. A leatherette-sheathed stainless-steel handrail is integrated neatly into the cockpit deckhead. For sound, a FUSION RA210 player drives two speakers in the wheelhouse, two in the cockpit, and two on the flybridge, enveloping the yacht in rich, well-balanced audio.

Galley

With headroom of 1.97 m (6’5’’), the L-shaped galley is designed for real culinary rhythm. A full-height 255 L (67 US Gal) fridge/freezer anchors ample cold storage, while a refined Corian countertop and a large stainless-steel sink with a hot/cold mixer elevate daily prep. Cooking is intuitive with a gas oven and a three-burner hob beneath a protective glass cover. Overhead lockers, a cutlery drawer, “magic corner” stowage, additional cupboards and drawers, and a double waste bin keep everything tidy and to hand, while a 110 V power outlet supports your preferred appliances.

Owner's cabin (forward)

With headroom of 1.96 m (6’5’’), the forward owner’s cabin is a sanctuary. The double berth measures 1.99 x 1.60 m (6’6’’ x 5’3’’), with generous storage beneath and additional stowage to either side. A large mirror enhances the sense of space, while a hanging locker with lighting and a shelved cupboard keep clothing and essentials perfectly organized. Natural light and fresh air filter through an opening deck hatch with a fitted mosquito screen/blind and through two hull windows, each with an opening porthole and blackout blind, ensuring serene repose at any hour.

VIP cabin (portside)

The portside VIP cabin offers headroom of 1.92 m (6’3½’’) and remarkable flexibility with two single berths measuring 1.98 x 0.7 m (6’6’’ x 27½’’), which join via infill cushions to form a comfortable double. An en-suite door connects directly to the day head, and thoughtful touches include a bedside table, a large mirror, a wardrobe, and fitted cupboard units. Storage beneath the berths and a shelving unit with three shelves keep belongings neatly arranged, while a hull window with an opening porthole and a blackout blind delivers both daylight and privacy on your terms.

Third cabin (starboard)

Generous headroom of 2.01 m (6’7’’) sets the tone for the starboard third cabin, centered on a welcoming double berth measuring 1.94 x 1.40 m (6’4½’’ x 4’7’’). A bedside shelf, a wardrobe, and storage beneath the berth provide smart organization, while opening hull portholes with curtains invite adjustable light and airflow to suit the moment.

Head

The principal head affords headroom of 1.96 m (6’5’’) and the privacy of a separate shower compartment with a seat and a hull porthole. Ventilation and night-sky views come via a deck hatch with a fitted mosquito screen/blind. Thoughtful amenities include a mirror, top and bottom cupboards, an oval washbasin, and electric toilet flushing selectable between fresh and salt water. An additional opening deck hatch with an integrated mosquito screen/blind enhances airflow as needed. The day head to port, with headroom of 1.93 m (6’4’’), mirrors this sense of completeness: a mirror, upper and lower cupboards, an oval washbasin, and the same electric fresh/salt-water toilet are complemented by a separate shower compartment with a seat and a hull porthole, a deck hatch with mosquito screen/blind, a further opening deck hatch with a fitted mosquito screen/blind, and a dedicated hull portlight.
