Beneteau Presenting Swift Trawler 34 In Genoa

The existing Swift Trawler range of the ST 42 and ST 52 is growing, and will be joined by the Swift Trawler 34 this autumn. This new edition benefits from a semi-planing hull similar to the one on which its senior siblings have built their reputation. The new model is a collaborative effort between designers Joubert-Nivelt and the Beneteau design team.

The Swift Trawler 34 inherits its overall visual appeal from its 42-foot big brother, with a stylish wheelhouse and large flybridge, complete with derrick for easy tender handling and stowage. The wide cockpit locker is big enough to store every item of seagoing equipment. A hinged gate provides access to the transom skirt and its bathing ladder, while access to the generous sunbathing platform forward of the wheelhouse is either via the starboard passageway (with its safety door) or the wide and side deck to port. The flying bridge is spacious and comfortable.

To port, a large space is available to house the tender, whilst further forward is the starboard helm position and saloon with a six-seater table. The wheelhouse interior is accessed via a three-panel sliding glass door. The salon easily converts to provide a double berth to starboard. Moving forward, the port side helm station with its double bench seat is extremely comfortable. The removable floor step is retractable for easy access to the passageway via a sliding side door.

The U-shaped galley with its double sink is to port. The companionway leads to the port guest cabin (with bunk berths) and the starboard washroom and WC with its ventilation port and storage. The bow compartment houses the generous owner’s cabin with its large bed and many storage spaces (including one beneath the bed). The hull is immensely stable when moored and underway, and berthing manoeuvrability is maximised by the bow thruster (standard) and stern thruster (optional).
