Beneteau Swift Trawler 41: renewing tradition

It belongs to one of the most traditional boat types. Still, Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 is capable of featuring something new.

After 47, here’s Beneteau Swift Trawler 41: we are pretty sure that, after the presentation to the press, it should debut at Cannes Yachting Festival. In the wake of its larger sibling, this 13-meter trawler features the same design choices and the same spirit. Perhaps even against the grain: have you ever seen a trawler without the flybridge? Yet, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 is even available in a sort of coupe version.

Italian touch

According to the yard, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 inherits the “contemporary spirit” of the 47, thanks to the signature of the Italian studio Andreani Design. Thus the galley is placed aft of the main deck and can serve both the dinette and the cockpit, through the large sliding door. The cockpit itself becomes then a cozy living room with a large sofa, and an open dinette protected by the overhang of the flybridge (or the hard top, depending on the version). The Jeanneau trade-mark slightly offset deckhouse is also there, so to partially sacrifice the left side deck to the advantage of the starboard one, which features also a door by the helm station. Walk all the way to bow and you’ll find a considerably large sun bed, as you would expect.

Back to the inner dinette, the driver’s seat rotates to increase the number of people around the table: the count says eight. The same dinette can also transform to have two more bunks. Below deck there are three cabins: the owner’s one to bow and the guest one to port. While the latter features two single beds, the third cabin is smaller and has only one: in alternative, it can become a service room and house a washing machine and more. Two bathrooms complete the layout of this area.

We tested Beneteau Swift Trawler 35, and it’s more than before

The flybridge version of Beneteau Swift Trawler has also a sun deck with plenty of free space to stern, a dinette on the port side (we guess it turns into a sun bed), and a chaise longue to starboard, while the dashboard is in the middle and is served by a single seat.

The water lines of the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 should guarantee a safe navigation in all conditions, both in displacement and planing. In the engine room there’s two Volvo Penta 2×270 hp or 2×300 hp: the builder declares a fuel consumption of five liters per nautical mile from 10 to 23 knots, which is also the maximum speed. As for the range, it should be 180 nautical miles at 16 knots.
