The Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 represents the ultimate expression of long-range cruising within the Beneteau range, designed for owners who want to travel further, stay longer, and do so in uncompromising comfort. Built with true passagemaking in mind, she is engineered around maximum efficiency and stability, offering exceptional range, quiet operation, and a remarkably smooth ride at displacement speeds. This is a yacht that prioritises distance, comfort, and confidence above all else, making serious cruising feel not only achievable, but genuinely enjoyable.
On deck, the Grand Trawler 63 delivers space and practicality in equal measure. The flybridge is a standout feature, offering a commanding upper helm position with excellent visibility, alongside generous seating and relaxation areas that create a genuine outdoor living space. It is designed for long days underway and relaxed evenings at anchor, with a layout that encourages social cruising without ever feeling crowded. The main deck is equally well considered, with wide side decks, secure movement forward, and a cockpit that flows naturally into the saloon for effortless onboard living.
Inside, the yacht feels calm, contemporary, and purpose-built for extended time at sea. Large panoramic windows flood the saloon with natural light and provide a constant connection to the surroundings, enhancing the sense of space throughout. The galley is fully equipped for serious onboard living, positioned for both practicality and ease of use, while the main saloon offers a comfortable and elegant environment for dining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the passage.
Accommodation is a defining strength of the Grand Trawler 63. The cabins are generously proportioned, beautifully finished, and designed to provide real comfort for extended cruising. The full-beam master suite is particularly impressive, offering a level of space and privacy more commonly associated with larger yachts, while guest cabins ensure family and visitors can travel in complete comfort.
At sea, she is all about efficiency and endurance. Her hull is optimised for low-speed, long-distance cruising, delivering outstanding fuel economy and impressive range, allowing for serious offshore passages with confidence. Stability and control are key, and she maintains a reassuring motion even in less predictable conditions, reinforcing her role as a true long-range cruiser rather than a high-speed sports yacht.
As with all Beneteau models, the Grand Trawler 63 can be extensively specified to suit individual cruising requirements. From advanced navigation systems and onboard technology to comfort upgrades and interior finishes, tailoring the yacht properly is essential to unlocking her full potential. Fox’s Yacht Sales can guide buyers through the available options to ensure the vessel is configured precisely for its intended use from the outset.
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 is built for those who want to go further, stay longer, and do it all in complete comfort. As the flagship of the Swift Trawler range, she combines serious passagemaking capability with a level of space and refinement that makes extended cruising feel effortless. Designed around a proven semi-displacement hull, she delivers smooth, efficient performance with excellent sea-keeping, giving you the confidence to take on longer journeys while maintaining a calm, composed ride.
On deck, the Swift Trawler 54 is all about freedom of movement and purposeful design. The flybridge creates a true second living space, with a commanding upper helm, generous seating, and sunbathing areas that make it just as inviting at anchor as it is underway. It’s a space that naturally draws people in, offering panoramic views and a relaxed, social atmosphere. The main deck continues this theme, with wide side decks, secure access forward, and a cockpit that connects seamlessly with the saloon, making onboard living feel open and connected.
Inside, the 54 moves into a different class of comfort. The saloon is bright, spacious, and finished with a contemporary feel, enhanced by large windows that bring in natural light and frame the surroundings beautifully. The galley is designed for proper onboard living, offering both practicality and style, while the seating areas provide a comfortable space to relax whether cruising or moored. Every detail is considered to support longer stays on board without compromise.
Accommodation is where the Swift Trawler 54 really stands out. The cabins are generous, well appointed, and designed to provide genuine comfort and privacy for owners and guests alike. There’s a sense of space throughout that you don’t always expect in a boat of this type, making extended cruising not just possible, but genuinely enjoyable.
At sea, she delivers steady, efficient performance that defines the Swift Trawler range. Her hull is optimised for economical cruising and long range, allowing you to cover serious distance with confidence while maintaining stability in changing conditions. It’s not about chasing top speed, but about making every journey feel controlled, comfortable, and rewarding.
As with all Beneteau models, the Swift Trawler 54 can be highly specified to suit individual cruising plans. From advanced navigation systems to onboard comfort and lifestyle upgrades, choosing the right specification makes a significant difference to the overall experience. Fox’s Yacht Sales can provide expert guidance on available options, ensuring the boat is configured perfectly from the outset.
Designed for serious extended cruising, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 48 is a favourite from the Swift Trawler range. It combines long-range efficiency with exceptional stability and comfort. Her MICAD-designed semi-displacement hull delivers smooth, economical sea-keeping, ensuring full control and confidence in changing conditions. On deck, the intelligently planned layout features a wide starboard side deck, a seamless cockpit-to-saloon flow, and an expansive flybridge complete with an upper helm, generous seating, and a dedicated dining space.
Inside, the bright, window-filled saloon offers a true home-on-the-water feel, complete with a practical L-shaped galley and a raised U-shaped dinette. Below deck, three well-appointed cabins comfortably accommodate owners and guests, supported by ample storage tailored for extended voyages without compromise.
At sea, the 48 focuses on making distance effortless and safe rather than chasing pure speed, offering impressive range and stability at displacement speeds. Highly customisable to suit individual cruising ambitions, Fox’s Yacht Sales can help guide you through the specification options to configure the vessel perfectly from the start.
Performance & Handling
Power comes from twin Cummins QSB 6.7-litre diesels, driving straight shafts rather than outboards or sterndrives – a simple, proven set-up in keeping with the Swift Trawler’s serious cruising remit. Standard power is 2 x 380hp, giving a top speed of around 21 knots, while an optional 2 x 425hp pairing lifts that to around 25 knots for those who want a bit more.
The real story, though, is range. With 1,930 litres of fuel carried in twin aluminium tanks, Beneteau’s own figures put cruising range for this Swift Trawler 48 at over 600 nautical miles at a 9-knot displacement-mode cruise, or around 280 nautical miles at an efficient 18-knot planing speed, both allowing for a 10% fuel reserve.
The semi-displacement hull is built for comfort and confidence rather than outright speed, with a draught of just 1.15m keeping options open for shallower cruising grounds and a light displacement of around 12.7 tonnes.
Flybridge, Cockpit & Deck Layout
The Swift Trawler 48 carries forward the range’s signature asymmetric deck layout, with the whole superstructure offset to port to leave room for a genuinely wide, well-protected side deck to starboard – and, usefully, every service point for fuel, water and pump-out is grouped there too, so there’s never any argument about which side to bring alongside.
The aft cockpit is a proper extension of the saloon, with room for a folding table and two director’s chairs alongside a large bench seat, and a transom double gate opening onto a generous swim platform. An optional hydraulic hi-lo lifting platform, rated to 350kg, makes launching a tender or getting back aboard after a swim considerably easier, and adjustable dinghy chocks are fitted either side.
Designed for intelligent space and effortless flow, the Swift Trawler 48 features an expansive 20-square-meter flybridge that serves as a commanding second living area – complete with an upper helm featuring an adjustable pilot seat and three forward-facing co-pilot positions, a plush aft dining table, a wetbar for effortless entertaining at anchor, and an optional hardtop overhead. Down below, a retractable stainless-steel ladder folds away at the simple press of a pedal to seamlessly liberate cockpit space, while the foredeck extends the relaxation outdoors with an optional sunpad featuring lift-up sections for ultimate lounging. Every detail works in harmony to keep guests comfortably connected to the journey while delivering an exceptionally luxurious cruising experience.
Saloon & Galley
Inside, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 48 feels bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for extended cruising. Large windows and optional sliding panes flood the saloon with natural light and foster a seamless connection to the water, with Roman blinds fitted for shade and privacy. The comfortable raised U-shaped dinette seats up to eight around an adjustable, varnished wood table and converts into a generous double berth, complete with a dividing rail and curtains for extra guests.
Positioned aft, the practical L-shaped galley is fully equipped for proper onboard living rather than short stays. Standard features include a Corian worktop, a full-height 255 litre fridge/freezer, a large stainless steel sink, a gas oven, and a three-burner gas hob with a protective glass cover. Ample organisation – including overhead lockers, a cutlery drawer, and “magic corner” pull-out storage – ensures everything has its place for longer voyages, while an all-electric galley setup (induction hob and combined oven/microwave grill) or a six-place dishwasher can be specified as options.
Three Cabins for Extended Cruising
Below deck, the Swift Trawler 48 offers exceptional accommodation for up to six people across three well-appointed cabins, with space for two additional guests in the convertible saloon dinette, balancing privacy and practicality so that longer cruises always feel relaxed rather than confined.
The forward owner’s cabin houses a double berth (1.99m x 1.60m) with storage under and either side of the berth, a full-length mirror and a hanging locker, lit by two hull windows with opening portholes. It has its own en-suite head with a separate shower compartment. To port, a VIP guest cabin has two single berths that can be made up into a double with an infill cushion, plus an en-suite door through to the day head. The starboard third cabin has its own double berth, storage under the berth and a wardrobe, lit by opening hull portholes.
A second head sits on the day side of the boat for guest use, and both heads are fitted with electric flushing and a separate shower compartment, so getting ready doesn’t mean queuing.
Helm & Handling Underway
The lower helm sits to starboard, with a sliding side door giving direct access to the side deck for easy docking and line handling. Hydraulic steering, electric engine controls, and a full set of gauges – including rev counter, fuel level, rudder angle and flap indicators – are all within easy reach, and controls for the electric windlass, bow thruster and navigation lights are grouped on the dashboard. A joystick option, combining engines, bow thruster and an optional stern thruster, makes tight-quarters manoeuvring considerably more relaxed.
The same central console is echoed on the flybridge, so passage-making or docking from the upper helm feels just as intuitive.
A Connected Boat
Through the Seanapps mobile app and onboard unit, owners can check the status of the boat’s systems – including battery charge, fuel and water tank levels, and maintenance scheduling – straight from their smartphone, as well as plan routes and review sailing status on the move.
Why Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 48?
What makes the Swift Trawler 48 stand out is its focus on doing the fundamentals of long-range cruising properly. Twin shaft-drive diesels, a genuinely capable semi-displacement hull and a fuel capacity built for real distance give her the range to go further, while three real cabins, two heads and a flybridge built for entertaining mean she’s just as capable of comfortable, extended time aboard as a family or with friends.
The Swift Trawler 48 sits at the point where serious passagemaking ability meets genuine liveaboard comfort. With a wide choice of engine power, wood finishes and onboard equipment, she can be specified to suit anything from coastal cruising to longer offshore passages.

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Fly is built for those who want genuine cruising capability paired with elevated comfort and a sociable, outdoor-focused layout. Sitting firmly in the sweet spot of the Swift Trawler range, she combines long-range efficiency with practical living space and the added advantage of a flybridge that transforms how time on board is enjoyed. With her semi-displacement hull, she delivers steady, economical cruising and reassuring stability, making longer passages feel relaxed and controlled.
The flybridge is a real highlight, creating a second outdoor living area that enhances both cruising and time at anchor. The upper helm offers excellent visibility and a commanding view, making manoeuvring and passage planning feel natural and confident. Alongside this, the flybridge provides generous seating and sunbathing space, turning it into a proper social zone where guests can relax while the skipper remains fully connected to the journey.
On the main deck, the design is focused on flow and practicality. Wide side decks and a secure helm position make movement on board safe and straightforward, while the cockpit and saloon connect in a way that supports easy entertaining and day-to-day use. The saloon itself is bright and welcoming, with large windows that flood the space with natural light and create a strong sense of openness throughout.
Below deck, the Swift Trawler 41 Fly continues to impress with a layout that makes extended cruising genuinely comfortable. The galley is practical and well positioned for life on board, while the saloon seating offers a relaxed space for dining or unwinding after a day underway. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, providing comfortable cabins that make weekends and longer trips feel easy rather than restrictive.
At sea, she is designed for efficient, steady cruising rather than outright speed. Her hull rewards a more measured pace, delivering excellent fuel economy and strong range while maintaining stability and control in varied conditions. It’s a boat that encourages exploration at a relaxed rhythm, where the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination.
As with all Beneteau models, the Swift Trawler 41 Fly offers a wide range of specification options, allowing owners to tailor the boat to their cruising style and preferences. From navigation systems to comfort upgrades and onboard equipment, selecting the right specification has a noticeable impact on the overall experience. Fox’s Yacht Sales can provide expert guidance on available options to ensure the boat is set up correctly from the outset.
Combining long-range efficiency with single-level living, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan delivers a calm, contemporary space built for effortless extended cruising. Her semi-displacement hull provides steady, fuel-efficient performance, predictable handling, and excellent stability at sea.
By replacing the flybridge with an open, light-filled main deck, the Sedan layout seamlessly connects the helm, galley, saloon, and cockpit. The result is a bright, sociable living area with generous accommodations that maximize usability and comfort without clutter.
Performance & Handling
At sea, she is built for steady progress rather than high-speed performance. Her hull is optimised for efficient cruising, offering impressive range and comfort at lower speeds, while still providing enough flexibility when conditions or schedules demand. She feels stable, predictable, and reassuring, encouraging longer journeys and a more relaxed approach to passagemaking.
Power comes from twin diesel inboards, with engine choices of Volvo 2x 270 HP or Yanmar 2x 320 HP. On the standard setup, Beneteau’s own figures put top speed at around 22 knots, with a 20-knot cruising speed and an efficient 14.6-knot range of approximately 186 nautical miles.
Total fuel capacity comes in at around 1,170 litres, carried in two 585-litre aluminium tanks with an interconnection between them. It’s a hull that favours composure over outright speed, making the Swift Trawler 41 Sedan as happy loitering at anchor for weeks as it is covering serious distance to get there.
Single-Level Living, Built for the Sedan Life
Where the Fly version of the Swift Trawler 41 adds a third deck with its own dining and helm station, the Sedan keeps everything on one level – and that simplicity is the whole point. Without a flybridge to climb to, moving around the boat feels effortless, and the roofline opens up space for a roof rack or storage for paddleboards and bikes, plus the option of solar panels.
The main deck becomes the heart of the boat as a result: saloon, galley and cockpit flow into one another with barely a step between them, so cooking, dining, steering and relaxing all happen within easy reach of each other, and yet it doesn’t feel cramped. It’s a layout that particularly suits couples and smaller crews who want the range and seakeeping of a proper trawler without the extra deck to maintain.
Wheelhouse and Helm
The wheelhouse is built around a strikingly generous glazed area, giving genuine 360-degree visibility from the helm – a real asset when coming into a new anchorage or keeping an eye on the whole crew (and 360 degree sunsets while underway doesn’t go amiss either!). The pilot seat rotates, so the helmsman can turn to join the conversation at anchor, and the raised U-shaped seating forward lets passengers stay part of the action while underway.
The dashboard is laid out for navigation electronics with engine dials, warning lights and controls for the windlass, bow thruster, navigation lights and wipers close to hand, while hydraulic steering keeps handling light. A sliding side door gives direct access to the side deck, so getting forward to handle lines doesn’t mean squeezing past the helm.
Saloon and Aft Galley
The U-shaped saloon seats the crew comfortably around a varnished wood table and converts into a double berth for occasional extra sleeping space, with a dividing rail and curtain for privacy when it’s in use. Large hull windows keep the space bright, and storage cupboards and a good-sized drawer take care of day-to-day cruising clutter.
New to this generation of Swift Trawler is the aft galley: a U-shaped unit positioned at the back of the wheelhouse, facing both the saloon and the cockpit, so whoever’s cooking stays part of the conversation rather than shut away. It’s equipped with a Corian worktop, twin stainless steel sinks, a gas oven and hob, and a 215-litre upright fridge with freezer – enough capacity for proper provisioning on longer trips, with a bin accessible from both the galley and the cockpit for convenience.
Three Cabins for Extended Cruising
Below deck, the Swift Trawler 41 Sedan sleeps up to seven across three cabins. The forward owner’s cabin has a proper island double berth (1.95m x 1.60m) with storage both under and beside it, a hanging locker and a dedicated head with a separate shower compartment complete with a seat and porthole.
Aft to port, the VIP cabin offers two single berths that convert into a double (1.96m x 1.52m), lit by a hull window with an opening porthole. To starboard, a third, more flexible space – built into the lazarette area – offers modular stowage and headroom of over two metres, with room for a washer-dryer or, with the optional single mattress, further overnight capacity. A second heads compartment serves this side of the boat, so nobody has to cross the saloon in the night.
!Swift Trawler 41 Sedan Owner’s Cabin
Cockpit Built for Life at the Back of the Boat
The self-bailing cockpit is designed for easy access to the water, with a sliding bench seat that extends the cockpit and slides back to open a clear route to the swimming platform – handy for swimming, watersports gear or simply stepping straight off the boat. A hot and cold cockpit shower is standard, and a gas-piston-assisted locker in the cockpit sole provides useful lockable stowage, with a separate locker for the gas cylinder built into the aft bench.
The swim platform itself carries a rubbing strake for protection alongside the tender or when coming alongside, with an ergonomic bathing ladder and hand holds for climbing back aboard.
!Swift Trawler 41 Sedan Cockpit
Safe, Practical Deck Access
Getting around the Swift Trawler 41 Sedan has been thought through carefully. A stainless steel pulpit runs open around the cockpit as far as the steps, with leather-covered stainless steel handrails for secure movement in a seaway. A double access door to starboard leads from the cockpit to the side deck, complemented by the sliding side door direct from the wheelhouse, so there’s more than one safe route forward.
A 1,000W electric windlass can be operated from the windlass itself, the wheelhouse or the flybridge on Fly models, and ten mooring cleats give plenty of options for coming alongside securely.
A Connected Boat
Through the Seanapps mobile app and onboard unit, owners can check the status of the boat’s systems – including battery charge, fuel and water tank levels, and maintenance scheduling – straight from their smartphone, as well as plan routes and review sailing status on the move.
Why Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan?
What makes the Swift Trawler 41 Sedan stand out is how well it balances genuine long-range, offshore-capable cruising with a layout that never feels like hard work to live with. She has the range and stability of a proper passagemaker, the single-level practicality that appeals to owners who don’t need (or want) a flybridge, and cabin space for three couples or a family to cruise in real comfort.
With a wide range of specification options available – from engine choice and interior upholstery to navigation electronics and watermakers – the Swift Trawler 41 Sedan can be tailored to suit a wide range of cruising styles, from weekend coastal hops to genuinely extended passages. For owners who’d prefer the extra deck and flybridge helm station, the Fly version of the Swift Trawler 41 offers the same hull and much of the same interior in a three-level layout.
For those after a comfortable, capable long-range cruiser that keeps life simple on a single deck, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan is a genuinely versatile choice for UK waters.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan FAQ
What top speed can the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan reach?
Beneteau’s own figures put the standard-engined Swift Trawler 41 Sedan’s top speed at around 22 knots, with independent sea trials reporting comfortable cruising in the 12 to 16 knot range and a real-world range of around 250 nautical miles at 16 knots. Higher-output engine options can push top speed further – Fox’s can talk you through the specification available.
How many people can sleep and travel aboard the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan?
The Swift Trawler 41 Sedan sleeps up to seven people across three cabins – an owner’s cabin forward, a VIP cabin, and a flexible third cabin aft – and Beneteau rates her on-board capacity at up to seven passengers.
Are parts and servicing readily available for the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Sedan in the UK?
Yes. As an authorised Beneteau dealer, Fox’s Yacht Sales can assist with genuine Beneteau parts, technical support and servicing enquiries, helping to keep your Swift Trawler 41 Sedan in excellent condition throughout your ownership.

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Fly takes the proven long-distance cruising platform of the Swift Trawler range and adds an elevated level of enjoyment, visibility and outdoor living. Designed for those who want to slow down and explore further afield, she combines efficient passagemaking with genuine comfort and space, all wrapped in a manageable and approachable size.
With her semi-displacement hull, the Swift Trawler 37 Fly delivers steady, economical cruising and a reassuring ride that inspires confidence on longer passages. She shares her 37ft 0in (11.28m) overall length with the Swift Trawler 35 she replaces, but a longer, lower superstructure, a taller foredeck and a one-piece reverse screen give her a noticeably better-balanced, more purposeful look.
The defining feature of the Fly version is, of course, the flybridge. An elevated helm position with excellent visibility transforms the cruising experience, giving a commanding view and a genuine sense of connection with the journey. Alongside the upper helm, the flybridge provides additional seating and sunbathing space, creating another social zone on board that’s perfect for relaxed cruising days and entertaining at anchor.
Performance & Handling
Power comes from a single Yanmar 400hp diesel as standard, with an upgrade to 440hp available – worth considering if you plan to load the boat up with extras. Her semi-displacement hull is optimised for comfort and economy at cruising speeds rather than outright pace, with a top speed of around 18 knots, and a comfortable displacement cruising range of 8-12 knots.
Beneteau’s provisional figures put continuous range at 350 nautical miles at 8 knots, with a 10% fuel reserve. Fuel consumption scales with speed: at a gentle 5-knot cruise, around 1 litre per mile delivers a range in excess of 600 nautical miles, tapering to roughly 400 nautical miles at 7 knots, 200 nautical miles at 10 knots and around 160 nautical miles at her 17.6-knot top end – so it’s simply a case of picking the speed that suits the passage. All of this comes from an 800-litre (211 US gallon) aluminium fuel tank.
It’s a hull built for steady, efficient cruising, and one that encourages exploration at a more relaxed pace, making the journey itself part of the experience.
A Flybridge Built for the Journey
The flybridge configuration is built around a raised helm position with excellent visibility, alongside a sociable U-shaped seat with a forward-adaptive backrest, a table and a built-in coolbox, with an optional fridge drawer at the aft end. A reversible forward backrest flips to create forward-facing seating beside the upper helm, so a couple of people can keep the skipper company underway, and the dinette adds a power point for a portable grill or raclette and a sociable meal up top.
Electronics at the upper helm include a 16-inch multifunction display with provision for a second, along with Zipwake trim controls, autopilot and proportional bow and stern thrusters, all within easy reach. There’s also a ready-rigged bimini that folds flat to the deck ahead of the helm, a stainless steel rack for paddleboards, and a folding radar mast plus a pull-out manual lifting davit, so you can reduce your air draft to sneak under low bridges when needed.
Even with all of this, there’s still plenty of space to store water toys alongside the modern recreational and navigational facilities.
Family Living, Built Around Social Space
Social mixing is at the heart of the main deck, where an ample galley and U-shaped sofa create a genuine sense of space, backed up by significant storage and the option of a large fridge and freezer. The sofa converts quickly into a double bunk with a privacy curtain for extra sleeping capacity, and an innovative lift-up table smartly converts into a comfortable work station alongside the helm.
Large windows flood the saloon with natural light, and wide side decks, a secure helm position and a direct connection between cockpit and saloon make movement around the boat simple and intuitive.
Two Cabins, One Genuinely Bigger Owner’s Suite
Below deck, the forward owner’s cabin is a proper island double, lit by large hull windows on both sides, with two opening portholes with blackout curtains and an opening deck hatch with blackout blind overhead for fresh air and ventilation. There are two wardrobes (one with shelving), a large storage locker under the berth, two reading lights with USB sockets – and, unlike the outgoing 35, direct access to the starboard bathroom.
That main bathroom is fitted with a Jack & Jill set of doors, a Corian-seated shower with PMMA doors, a Compass electric toilet, a sink with mixer tap and mirror, plus dedicated storage.
A separate guest cabin to port houses bunk beds, with a small overhead hatch for airflow, opening hull portholes for a cross breeze, and a bit more space at the head of the berths for a shelf and small locker – a small touch that makes the room feel less boxy and more useful day to day. Each berth again gets its own reading light with USB socket.
A Galley Made for Extended Cruising
While the outgoing 35 used a forward galley that ruled out high-level storage, the 37 moves the galley further aft on the starboard side. It’s a U-shaped design finished in Corian rather than laminate, with a stainless steel sink, mixer tap for cold/hot pressurised water, a 2-burner gas hob and gas oven, cupboards and shelving, sliding glass and a 130-litre fridge as standard (a 150-litre fridge and 50-litre freezer are available as options). A shallow cutout lets crew step out of the way so people can get past along the central walkway – a small detail that makes a real difference living aboard.
An Adaptive Cockpit for Life at Anchor
The self-draining cockpit has been ergonomically designed to maximise space, with the “Adaptive Cockpit” offering the option of a sliding seat upgrade for even more flexibility. A lockable cockpit locker with gas struts and a separate gas locker provide stowage, and a hot/cold water cockpit shower is standard for rinsing off after a swim.
An optional aft bench module replaces the transom rail between the swim platform pods, adding useful extra storage while sliding back over the platform to free up deck space for freestanding furniture when you want it. Steps in the cockpit lift to reveal a proper usable lazarette rather than a void – big enough to house a generator on this boat.
At the stern, the bathing platform is more clever than it first looks: the whole transom module slides fore and aft depending on whether you want more cockpit room or a longer platform, with stainless davits built in, capable of handling a tender of around 2.3m. Drop-in sockets take a passerelle, and a swimming-pool-style ladder can be hooked over the transom in holiday mode, with a secondary ladder beneath the platform, complete with handle, always available as backup.
Forward, the flat foredeck offers space for loose cushions while still working as a proper deck area, with the anchor sitting in a bow roller ahead of the windlass and chain locker. The forward seat hinges and drops flat for running, or locks in position for use in harbour, and the hatch over the owner’s cabin lifts clear without blocking the deck.
Confidence at the Helm
Thanks to the large reverse windscreen, the lower helm station is about as good as you’ll find on a small flybridge-equipped cruiser, with a full-beam windscreen with side panes, three electric wipers with a synchronisation system, and a defogger keeping visibility clear. Hydraulic steering and a leather-wrapped wheel give light, precise handling, with engine dials – revolution counter, fuel gauge, alarms, rudder angle indicator – close to hand and space in the console for navigation electronics.
A big skipper’s door and side gate make single-handed work easy, while a fold-down platform and a dedicated plinth for the throttle and trim tabs are thoughtful ergonomic touches. Optional sunroofs bring in extra fresh air, natural light and an all-round view, on top of the flybridge version’s already generous glazing.
A Connected Boat
Through Beneteau’s Seanapps connected technology and the associated mobile app, owners can monitor the condition of their boat and receive alerts and maintenance recommendations remotely. Depending on the boat’s configuration, information collected can include GPS position, battery status, engine information and navigation data.
Why Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Fly?
With contemporary design, elegant finishes and smart innovations throughout, the Swift Trawler 37 Fly hits the sweet spot: the cruising performance and long-range confidence of the Swift Trawler range, combined with the extra social space, visibility and outdoor living that only a flybridge can bring. A rising sheerline up to a powerful, flared and high signature bow, together with the new reverse windshield and longer-ratio hull windows, give her genuine strength and purpose alongside her elevated helm.
With multiple specification options available – from navigation electronics to comfort upgrades like the décor and comfort Luxe pack, air conditioning, a generator and entertainment packages – the Swift Trawler 37 Fly can be tailored to individual cruising preferences. Fox’s Yacht Sales can assist with guidance on the available options to ensure your boat is configured perfectly from the outset.
For those wanting a modern passagemaker that’s genuinely built for family living – well-stocked fridges, cabins packed with gear and stowage for extended cruising – the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Fly is a compelling choice for UK waters.

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.

The Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 represents the flagship expression of Beneteau’s sports cruiser philosophy, bringing together performance, space, and long-range comfort in a way that feels both powerful and refined. Designed with the Air Step hull at its core, she delivers confident handling, fast planing, and a remarkably smooth ride for her size, giving you the ability to cover ground quickly without ever feeling unsettled or overworked at the helm. This is a boat built for serious cruising, but without losing the ease and enjoyment that defines the Gran Turismo range.
On deck, the GT 50 is all about lifestyle and flow. The cockpit is expansive and thoughtfully arranged, creating distinct zones for dining, lounging, and sunbathing, all while maintaining an open, connected feel throughout. Large seating areas make entertaining effortless, and the seamless transition between cockpit and helm ensures the skipper remains part of the social space. At the helm, the design is clean and commanding, with excellent visibility and a layout that inspires confidence whether cruising at speed or manoeuvring in tighter waters.
Below deck, the Gran Turismo 50 moves into a different league. The interior is bright, modern, and exceptionally well finished, with large windows bringing in natural light and enhancing the feeling of space. The saloon is designed for proper time on board, not just short stays, with a practical galley and comfortable seating that makes extended cruising genuinely enjoyable. Accommodation is well considered, with cabins that offer real comfort and privacy, making weekends away or longer passages feel effortless rather than compromised.
At sea, she delivers exactly what you would expect from a flagship sports cruiser. Twin engine configurations provide strong performance, with top speeds typically in the region of 30+ knots depending on specification, while still maintaining stability and composure when conditions build. She feels planted, responsive, and reassuring, encouraging longer passages and more ambitious cruising plans without sacrificing comfort along the way.
As with all Beneteau models, the Gran Turismo 50 can be highly specified to suit individual requirements, with a wide range of options covering navigation, comfort, entertainment, and exterior configuration. Getting the specification right is key to unlocking her full potential on the water. Fox’s Yacht Sales can guide buyers through the available choices to ensure the boat is tailored perfectly from the outset.
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 takes the sports cruiser concept and elevates it into something more refined, more capable, and more rewarding to spend time on. Built around Beneteau’s signature Air Step hull design, she delivers confident handling, quick planing, and a smooth, composed ride that inspires real confidence at speed. It’s a boat that feels just as comfortable stretching her legs offshore as she does gliding into a quiet marina after a day on the water.
On deck, the emphasis is firmly on space, flow, and social living. The cockpit is intelligently designed to create a natural gathering area, with generous seating, flexible sunbathing spaces, and a layout that keeps everyone connected whether underway or at anchor. The helm is clean, modern, and ergonomically arranged, giving the skipper excellent visibility and a real sense of control without feeling isolated from the rest of the boat. It’s a design that prioritises enjoyment, not just functionality.
Below deck, the Gran Turismo 40 feels bright, contemporary, and impressively spacious for her class. Large windows flood the saloon with natural light, enhancing the sense of openness, while the galley and seating area are arranged for practical, comfortable cruising. The cabins are well proportioned, offering proper overnight capability for extended weekends or longer coastal trips, making her a genuine all-rounder rather than just a day boat with extras.
At sea, she delivers exactly what the Gran Turismo name promises. With twin engine options, she is capable of strong cruising speeds and an exciting top end well in excess of 30 knots depending on specification, yet she remains stable, predictable, and reassuring even when conditions become more challenging. It’s this blend of performance and refinement that makes the 40 such a compelling choice in the sports cruiser category.
As with all Beneteau models, there is a wide range of optional equipment and specification choices available, allowing the boat to be tailored to individual cruising styles and preferences. From navigation upgrades to comfort and entertainment features, the right specification can significantly enhance time on board. Fox’s Yacht Sales can provide guidance on available options to ensure the Gran Turismo 40 is set up exactly as intended from the outset.
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 35 is built for those who want genuine sports cruiser performance without giving up comfort, space, or everyday usability. Driven by the renowned Air Step hull design, she delivers a smooth, confident ride with efficient planing and sharp handling, giving you that immediate feeling of control the moment you push the throttles forward. It’s a boat that works just as well on fast coastal runs as it does on relaxed weekend cruising, striking a natural balance between performance and comfort.
On deck, the layout is open, modern, and designed for life outdoors. The cockpit is sociable and intelligently arranged, with generous seating that encourages time spent together, whether underway or at anchor. Sunbathing areas integrate seamlessly into the design, while the helm position feels purposeful and commanding, offering excellent visibility and a clean, ergonomic layout. Everything has been considered to make time on board feel easy, intuitive, and enjoyable.
Below deck, the Gran Turismo 35 continues to impress with a light, well-finished interior that feels far more spacious than her length suggests. The saloon flows neatly into the galley area, creating a practical and welcoming living space for weekends away, while the cabins offer comfortable overnight accommodation for cruising with family or guests. There’s a calm, refined feel below, providing a clear contrast to the more dynamic driving experience above.
At sea, she really comes alive. With twin engine options, the Gran Turismo 35 is capable of strong cruising speeds and an exciting top end in the region of 30+ knots depending on specification. Yet despite the performance on offer, she remains composed and predictable, even when conditions begin to change. It’s this combination of pace and stability that makes the model so appealing for owners who want flexibility without compromise.
As with all Beneteau models, there is a wide range of optional extras and specification choices available, allowing the boat to be tailored to individual use and preferences. From navigation equipment to comfort upgrades and styling enhancements, getting the specification right makes a real difference to the overall experience. Fox’s Yacht Sales can assist with guidance on available options to ensure the boat is set up to suit its intended use from day one.
