Beneteau’s Swift Trawler line has been a favorite of boaters who value efficiency, practical design and long-range capability. With the launch of the new Swift Trawler 37, the company brings those core traits into a fresh midsize package that’s available in two configurations—Flybridge and Sedan—to suit different cruising styles.
With an LOA of 34 feet and a beam of 13’1″, the Swift Trawler 37 hits a sweet spot for owner-operators seeking a balance of maneuverability and cruising comforts.
The Flybridge version includes a second helm and social space topside, while the Sedan offers a lower profile for bridge clearance. According to Beneteau, both models share the same hull, deck, and interior layout, and are designed for ease of use and extended time aboard.
The boat is powered by a standard Yanmar 6LY 400-hp inboard diesel engine, paired with a 211 gallon fuel tank that offers a cruising range of approximately 350 nautical miles at 8 knots, including a 10 percent fuel reserve. An upgraded 440-hp version of the Yanmar is also available.
Several design updates differentiate the new 37 from the outgoing Swift Trawler 35. Most notable is the new reverse-angle windshield, which improves helm visibility, enhances the trawler-style profile and extends the forepeak area above the helm—space that can accommodate optional solar panels or electric skylights. Longer-ratio hull windows add a more modern aesthetic and bring in more natural light. The interior has been refined with a U-shaped galley, expanded storage and a two-stateroom layout that includes a walk-in shower and Jack-and-Jill head access in the forward cabin.
Beneteau introduced the Swift Trawler line in 2003 and has since delivered more than 1,800 hulls worldwide. Built in France, the range now spans from 37 to 62 feet. The semi-planing hull design allows for flexible cruising speeds, and safety features like wide sidedecks and robust rails make these boats ideal for distance coastal cruising and Great Loop adventures.
The Swift Trawler 37 will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, according to Beneteau.
