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

Day 6 of our Christmas calendar takes you into the engine room, where all the heavy-duty magic happens! 🎄 Here’s what you’ll find in this surprisingly spacious area: 🚛 Main engine: - A Volvo Penta TMD22 with 78 horsepower, running like a champ with just 2,000 hours. - We’re planning a full service before setting sail next summer. ⚡ Fischer Panda genset: - This powerful generator provides AC power whenever we need it—perfect for life at sea. ⚡ Port bulkhead: - Packed with many of our electrical Victron components, which we’ll show you in a future episode. It might be tight compared to a house, but for a boat, this is luxury! Got questions about our engine room or how we keep it running smoothly? Drop them in the comments! 💬 🎥 See you tomorrow as we explore more of Vela! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
