Would you wander the ICW or cross an ocean aboard this podâdriven passagemaker? Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 © Beneteau Length: 49 ft 2 in (14.99âŻm) Beam: 15 ft 3 in (4.65âŻm) Draft: 3 ft 5 in (1.05âŻm) Displacement: approx. 35,264âŻlb (16,000âŻkg) Top Speed: 24.8 knots Cruising Speed: 18â22 knots Range: approx. 300âŻnm at 18âŻkt Fuel Capacity: \~714âŻUSâŻgal (2Ă357âŻgal) Water Capacity: \~212âŻUSâŻgal Price: approx. US\$âŻ900,000 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 24.8âŻkt, cruising at 22âŻkt at 3,500âŻrpm) ([Canadian Boating][1], [Motor Boat & Yachting][2], [Boat Magazine International][3], [HMY Yachts][4]). Its semiâdisplacement hull is optimised for IPS and trims tabs, delivering smooth economyâwith modest fuel burn (\~70âŻL/hr at 11âŻkt) and up to \~317âŻnm 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 Uâshaped 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 agilityâeven if not built for the toughest offshore conditions ([Reddit][7]). #BeneteauYachts #SwiftTrawler50 #LongRangeCruiser #HarbourMasters
