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

Guys we are getting reaaaaal creative and perhaps slightly desperate over here. Workouts have hit an all time low. Diet has kinda sucked! Lack of time, unexpected boat problems, and minimal space to workout have made it all the more difficult to stay in shape 😕 So yesterday I said NO EXCUSES, woke up at 7 AM, found this scary little cement dock to workout on, and got to work. It wasn’t my best session, but it was still better than nothing at all. If you don’t have a lot of space to workout in - you don’t need to give up on your goals! 🙅🏻‍♀️ Stop finding any reason to justify your excuses. Find some movements that work, throw em together, put in 20 minutes and get er done. Enjoy! #hiit #bodyweightworkout #cardio #abs #workoutvideo #homeworkout #fullbodyworkout

WhitsundayEscape.com Do your kids seem to spend more time on their phones than communicating with you these days? Follow in the footsteps of the Samson family, who decided to whisk their two teenagers away for a sailing holiday in the Whitsundays for a bit of digital detoxing. They hired a Venturer 38 power cat and cruised around the islands, going wherever they wanted to go, which the kids loved. They went snorkelling lots, went kayaking and paddle boarding, did lots of walks around the islands, and even played cards and other games, like they hadn't done as a family in years. Don't take our word for it, hear it straight from their mouths about what a great holiday they had. And do they recommend it to other families? Even the kids gave a resounding 'YES!'
