Maintenance log and invoices available since launch

Chic and modern, the Swift Trawler 44 is a distillation of the best this boat has to offer. 
This “Trawler by Beneteau” is fast and highly seaworthy, designed for ocean cruising. 
She is at home on all seas and her consistent energy efficiency makes her a world leader in her category.

The Swift Trawler 44 is the result of a joint collaboration by the Beneteau design office, the architect Michel Joubert and the designer Pierre Frutschi. Underway, her semi-displacement hull offers very enjoyable sensations at all speeds, as well as terrific stability as she breaks through the waves.  She is timelessly elegant, combining classic style and great modernity.

Exterior

General Features and Description:

Designed on a semi-displacement hull, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 44 (Built from 2011 to 2020) in one of the most popular fast trawler in the world, with over 300 units built. She followed the Swift Trawler 42 (Built from 2007 to 2010). The key is to build a strong yet not very heavy hull, capable of handling heavy seas (CE Certification "Category B", includes boats operating offshore with winds to 40 knots and significant seas to 13 feet). 

She can easily cruise at 18-20 knots (Top speed 25 knots), for around 340 NM of range, or slow it down to 8-9 knots for "slow cruise" speed, giving you about 2NM/Gal, or well over 600 NM of range. She runs on twin 300 HP Volvo Penta with straight shafts and comes standard with bow and stern thrusters.

As such, there is an about 15 inches-wide sidedeck to step out unto and a pocket door directly across to step off the boat and unto the dock.
