Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan

Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan Overview

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan is built for those who want to slow things down without giving up capability, comfort, or confidence at sea. Designed as a true passagemaker in a compact footprint, she brings long-range cruising ability into a manageable, easy-to-handle size, making her ideal for extended coastal exploration, weekends away, and relaxed cruising with family or guests. With her efficient hull design, she delivers steady, economical performance and a reassuring ride in a wide range of conditions.

She made her debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025, replacing the popular Swift Trawler 35 and carrying forward a family that has put more than 1,800 boats on the water since 2003, spanning five models from 37 to 63 feet.

Performance & Handling

At sea, she is designed for steady, efficient cruising rather than high-speed performance. Her displacement-inspired hull rewards a more considered pace, delivering impressive range and fuel efficiency while maintaining stability and control. It’s a boat that encourages longer journeys, quieter anchorages, and a more relaxed approach to boating, without ever feeling underpowered or limited.

Power comes from a single 400hp Yanmar 6LY inboard diesel (a 440hp upgrade is also available), driving a shaft and stainless steel suspended rudder through hydraulic steering. Beneteau’s own provisional figures put displacement cruising at 8-12 knots, with an estimated maximum in the region of 18 knots.

What that means in practice: from the 800-litre fuel tank, she’s rated for a range of around 350 nautical miles at an 8-knot cruise, with a 10% fuel reserve already factored in. That’s the sort of range that turns a weekend trip into a proper coastal cruise, without spending it thinking about the next fuel stop.

An Adaptive Roof Terrace

The signature feature of the Sedan is what Beneteau calls the “open platform” – a fully convertible living space on the roof, reached via a fixed stair unit with stainless steel perimeter handrails for safe, easy access. Fit it out with sun loungers, shading and a table for a proper lounging terrace, or use the same space as easily accessible storage for paddleboards, bikes or loose gear (up to 150kg). Integrated electrical outlets come as standard, with a shade cloth and wood-slat flooring available as options – so the space can be set up to suit exactly how you use the boat, rather than how the boatyard thinks you should.

Below the roofline, a rising sheerline to a high, flared bow and a reverse windshield give the Swift Trawler 37 a purposeful, professional trawler profile, with longer hull windows adding both strength to the design and natural light down below.

A Bright, Welcoming Interior

Inside, the Swift Trawler 37 Sedan is bright, welcoming, and cleverly arranged to maximise every inch of space. Large windows bring in natural light and open up the interior, giving it a surprisingly airy feel for a boat of this size. The saloon is designed for proper time on board, with comfortable seating and a practical galley that makes extended stays easy. Accommodation is well thought out, offering comfortable overnight options that make weekends away feel relaxed rather than cramped.

Two Cabins for Overnighting

Accommodation runs to four berths across two cabins. The forward owner’s cabin has a full double berth, two wardrobes, a large storage locker beneath the berth, and direct access to the heads via a jack-and-jill door – so it doubles as ensuite for the owner and day heads for everyone else, without anyone needing to pass through the cabin. That head compartment includes a shower with a Corian seat, an electric toilet, and Corian worksurfaces throughout.

A second cabin to port has bunk beds – practical for kids, guests, or simply extra kit stowage on longer trips.

A Galley Built for Life Aboard

The galley is noticeably bigger than on the outgoing Swift Trawler 35, thanks to a reworked work triangle. It comes with Corian worktops, a stainless steel sink, a two-burner gas hob and gas oven, and a 130-litre fridge as standard – with a fully electric galley (induction hob and multifunction oven) plus a larger fridge and separate freezer available as an option for those who plan on spending longer stretches aboard.

Right alongside it, a wide u-shaped sofa seats six and converts into a double bunk behind a privacy curtain – useful extra overnight capacity without needing a third dedicated cabin.

A Helm Built for the Passage

The raised, portside pilot seat has a smart lift-up table that creates a proper work station next to the helm – handy for chart work. The console has space for navigation electronics, engine dials covering revolution counter, fuel gauge and rudder angle indicator, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Electric windscreen wipers with a synchronisation system and a screen defogger keep visibility clear whatever the weather does.

Safe, Practical Deck Layout

On deck, the Sedan version is all about practicality and connection with the water. Wide side decks and high guardrails add confidence when moving forward, while the aft cockpit provides a sheltered, usable space that works just as well underway as it does at anchor. Everything feels purposeful, built around real-world cruising rather than unnecessary complexity.

The self-draining “Adaptive Cockpit” stays dry underfoot and offers the option of a sliding bench seat upgrade for extra flexibility at anchor. A lockable cockpit locker with gas struts and a self-bailing anchor locker keep lines, fenders and ground tackle out of the way, and a removable stainless steel swim ladder off the integrated aft platform makes getting back aboard after a swim straightforward. A hot and cold water cockpit shower is standard for rinsing off afterwards.

A Connected Boat

Through Beneteau’s Seanapps system, owners can monitor the boat’s systems – including GPS position, battery charge, engine information and navigation data – and receive maintenance alerts, all from a mobile app.

Why Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan?

The Swift Trawler 37 Sedan isn’t trying to be the fastest boat in the marina – and that’s rather the point. She’s built for a different kind of boating: steady, economical passages, a genuinely usable roof terrace that adapts to however you want to use it, and an interior that feels far more spacious than her overall length suggests.

As with all Beneteau models, there are a range of specification options available, allowing the Swift Trawler 37 Sedan to be tailored to individual cruising styles. From navigation equipment to comfort upgrades and onboard systems, choosing the right specification makes a noticeable difference to life on board. Fox’s Yacht Sales can provide guidance on available options to ensure the boat is set up perfectly for its intended use from the outset.

For those after a compact, capable passagemaker that rewards a more relaxed pace without ever feeling underpowered, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan is well worth a look.
