Would you wander the ICW or cross an ocean aboard this pod‑driven passagemaker? Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 © Beneteau Length: 49 ft 2 in (14.99 m) Beam: 15 ft 3 in (4.65 m) Draft: 3 ft 5 in (1.05 m) Displacement: approx. 35,264 lb (16,000 kg) Top Speed: 24.8 knots Cruising Speed: 18–22 knots Range: approx. 300 nm at 18 kt Fuel Capacity: \~714 US gal (2×357 gal) Water Capacity: \~212 US gal Price: approx. US\$ 900,000 The Swift Trawler 50 redefines the classic trawler by pairing halo-like comfort and efficiency with Volvo Penta IPS600 pod drives. You get joystick docking, minimal roll, and performance that feels more sport cruiser than passagemaker (tested top end of 24.8 kt, cruising at 22 kt at 3,500 rpm) ([Canadian Boating][1], [Motor Boat & Yachting][2], [Boat Magazine International][3], [HMY Yachts][4]). Its semi‑displacement hull is optimised for IPS and trims tabs, delivering smooth economy—with modest fuel burn (\~70 L/hr at 11 kt) and up to \~317 nm range on a tank ([Trade A Boat][5]). Below decks, choose between layouts: three double cabins or two doubles plus an office and extra berth. The U‑shaped galley, dumbwaiter serving the flybridge, high bulwarks and panoramic pilothouse windows enhance liveability and safety at sea ([Beneteau][6]). While the build trades off some robustness for weight savings and interior volume, users praise the space, comfort and agility—even if not built for the toughest offshore conditions ([Reddit][7]). #BeneteauYachts #SwiftTrawler50 #LongRangeCruiser #HarbourMasters

► Full report in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/cmc-race-and-rally-2025-the-fun-rendezvous-for-multihulls ► For its sixth edition, the CMC hasn’t set the record the number of participants, with 23 multihulls registered. On the other hand, the atmosphere both on and off the water has never been better. The trade winds, in fine form at between 20 and 25 knots, undoubtedly had something to do with it... The five entrants in CSA 1 enjoyed superb courses towards Saba, Saint-Barts and Anguilla. The HH66 Lee Overlay Partners (ex Nemo) put on a great show, impressively flying a hull and, above all, peak speeds pushing 30 knots. The Gunboat 72 Layla was not to be outdone, with her GPS recording a top speed of 24.5 knots. The La Grande-Motte shipyard's first flybridge catamaran won the overall race on corrected time. The Diam 24 fleet was of course severely tested by the choppy conditions, but there too, they put on quite a show. In this fury of spray and exciting runs, the crew of Anomaly came out on top, leaving their rivals with no chance of a rematch. For the past two years, the CMC has been running a second division called Rally. This year, the 9 participants were accompanied - and looked after - by our Marketing Director Gwen Dorning. The fleet headed to Phillipsburg, where beach games were organized on the first day, followed by a fireworks display in the bay, then headed for Anse Marcel and finally Saint-Barts - a dream program which is already scheduled for next year, with dates running from January 29 to February 1. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
