Beneteau’s flagship Swift Trawler 54 continues to earn global recognition, securing major nominations and finalist placements across the world’s leading marine awards. Its long-range capability, refined comfort and modern trawler design have positioned it as one of the most closely watched passagemakers in its category.

Built for Distance - Designed for Real Cruising

With its efficient new-generation hull, clever layout and genuine offshore readiness, the Swift Trawler 54 has stood out to judges for the same reasons it appeals to serious cruisers: range, stability, comfort and thoughtful, live-aboard design.

Recent Recognition

Why This Matters for NZ Buyers

These nominations underline exactly what Kiwi boaties look for: capability, safety and proper liveaboard comfort. The Swift Trawler 54 delivers serious mileage, a robust and quiet ride, wide walkaround decks and spaces designed for real time onboard, not just marina-side living.

It’s a trawler built for our coastlines, our distances, and our conditions.
