Beneteau Swift Trawler 48

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 48 is designed for those who want to take cruising seriously, combining true passagemaking capability with the comfort, space, and refinement needed for extended time on board. As a flagship in the Swift Trawler range, she brings together efficiency, stability, and long-range confidence in a package that feels both powerful and remarkably easy to handle. Her semi-displacement hull delivers smooth, economical cruising with excellent sea-keeping, allowing you to cover distance comfortably while maintaining control and reassurance in varying conditions.

On deck, the Swift Trawler 48 is all about intelligent space and effortless flow. The flybridge is a standout feature, offering a commanding upper helm position with superb visibility, alongside generous seating and sunbathing areas that create a true second living space. It’s an ideal setup for relaxed cruising days, where guests can enjoy the journey from above while remaining fully connected to life on board. The main deck is equally well considered, with wide side decks, a secure helm position, and a cockpit that links naturally with the saloon for easy movement and entertaining.

Inside, the 48 feels bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for long-term cruising. Large windows flood the saloon with natural light, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the water. The galley is practical and well integrated, designed for proper onboard living rather than short stays, while the seating area provides a comfortable space to relax during passage or in port. Every detail is geared towards making extended time on board feel natural and enjoyable.

Accommodation is a key strength, with well-appointed cabins that provide genuine comfort for owners and guests alike. The layout is designed to balance privacy and practicality, making longer cruises feel relaxed rather than confined. Storage throughout the boat is generous, supporting extended voyages without compromise.

At sea, she delivers exactly what the Swift Trawler name promises: steady, efficient, long-range cruising. Her hull is optimised for comfort and economy, offering impressive range at displacement speeds while maintaining stability and confidence when conditions change. She is not about speed for the sake of it, but about making distance feel easy, safe, and enjoyable.

As with all Beneteau models, the Swift Trawler 48 offers a wide range of specification options, allowing owners to tailor the boat to their cruising ambitions. From navigation and onboard systems to comfort and lifestyle upgrades, the right specification makes a significant difference to life on board. Fox’s Yacht Sales can guide you through the available options to ensure the boat is configured perfectly from the outset.
