INTERIOR

With three cabins and a sofa bed, the ST47 can sleep eight comfortably. A large lounge on the upper deck has facing seats and an open L-shaped galley with high-end fittings. Generously sized, the saloon converts to a guest cabin in a matter of seconds. Function has been brought the forefront of this design with access ways to the wheelhouse sensible and easy. Natural light floods the interior and you can see for miles from the central driving station. A tilted helm bench seat folds up for added bench space in the galley. The galley and saloon welcomes a generous amount of fridge and freezer space, double sink and gas cooktop.

EXTERIOR

Robust and safe. The Swift Trawler range is designed to give you peace of mind ate sea and this is captured in large walkways, handrails, and an open stable deck plan for easy moving around. The large fly bridge can seat up to four people facing the sea while underway, while the transom provides access to a large swim platform to laze about at the waters edge. Easily handled with it’s twin engine package, the ST47 can be equipped with joysticks that make manoeuvring in the harbour a breeze.

DESIGN

Beneteau have been building trawlers since 1883 and have very much honed their craft in the Swift Trawler line. With the look of a classic trawler, below the waterline paints a different story to tradition. Cleverly designed, the semi-displacement hull offers a huge amount of volume while retaining excellent sea-keeping ability, safety and speed. No stone has been left unturned in maximising use of space on board, with a range of convertible furnishings and additions to ensure you get the most out of your boating experience. 

• Side hull door and wheelhouse door for easy boarding
• Broad gangway, high protective guardrails
• Track mounted flybridge ladder for added cockpit space

PERFORMANCE

The Swift Trawlers’s reputation for excellent heavy weather handling is a perfect match for kiwi boaties wanting to explore those harder to reach places. In keeping with the outstanding performance of the range, the Swift Trawler 47‘s fuel consumption is very reasonable, along with a fuel tank capacity of 1920L and 680L water tanks. A semi-displacement hull makes her not only efficient underway, but also smooth, safe and a pleasure to helm in all conditions.  With a cruise speed of 18-22 knots (50% engine load at 18 knots), she can sprint to 24-26 + knots when you're in a rush to get home.

• 2x425HP Cummins engines
• CE Certification
• Well equipped dual navigation station
