New Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 

Beneteau Swift Trawler 54

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 is designed for extended range cruising at 8-12 knots, but can power up to over 20 knots when necessary.

Beneteau celebrates 140 years of expertise and innovation with this new addition to the successful Swift Trawler range. This latest family motor cruiser offers style, comfort and autonomy for demanding boaters. 

Tailor-made for social voyaging, the new Swift Trawler 54 combines contemporary design, elegant finishes and smart innovations throughout to create a perfect home on the water.

Embodying Beneteau Expertise

This attractive and efficient 54-foot passagemaker fits into the well-known Swift Trawler family, which has launched 1,800 boats ranging from 35 feet up to 62 feet across five models since 2003.

Beneteau worked with Andreani Design to carefully craft the ideal family home on the water so that boaters of all ages can enjoy economic and efficient long-range cruising.

Innovation has been the driving force at Beneteau for 140 years,” says Jean-François Lair, Beneteau brand manager. “To celebrate this milestone, we challenged our team to create a standout passagemaker to join our Swift Trawler family that marries the best innovations with remarkable style. The Swift Trawler 54 brings to life our vision of ‘rediscover the journey’, where you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. She is practical and reliable, beautiful and cutting-edge.”

The swim platform is large enough to carry a dinghy, and the transom storage area can carry a stowable bicycle.

Accessible, Spacious, “Home-Inspired” Living

We wanted to create an eye-catching cruiser that gives families plentiful stowage and home comforts for weeks onboard,” says Robert Chaffer, Beneteau Product Manager. Every aspect of the interior and exterior of this boat has been carefully crafted to maximize the pleasure of cruising alongside a cozy, refined finish. At the same time we wanted to push boundaries, explore new horizons and integrate revolutionary solutions into the final product. We are incredibly proud of the result and we can’t wait to see the feedback from customers.”

Terrace to the Sea Cockpit

The exterior features of the boat include the stunning “Terrace to the Sea cockpit” concept, as well as a spacious flybridge with soft seating and luxury touches. The design prioritizes safe and easy circulation between the helm, galley side doors and the panoramic wheelhouse windows.

The stern boasts a 400 kg tender lift, ample storage for kayaks and paddleboards and a hydraulic swim platform with adaptive dinghy chocks. On the foredeck, the U-shaped seating area with an inset table easily converts into a huge sunpad, with dedicated fender stowage underneath, offering total comfort.

The “glass transom” is an attractive feature that allows aft deck guests to fully enjoy the water view.

To mark the 140 years of Beneteau heritage, an upgraded luxury finish comes as standard using premium materials. This includes illuminated wood panels and exceptional main deck glazing with 360 all-around glass, creating an open space that feels elegant and sophisticated while also remaining warm, social and functional. 

The well-designed interior environment boasts an ergonomic and well-appointed galley with a raised passagemaker dinette, a large saloon and an attractive “architectural” flybridge stair.

Perfect for Family Cruising

Built with six berths, with the option for an additional single crew berth, the layout is perfect for long family cruises.

The Swift Trawler 54 accommodates six below, with the engines well separated from the amidships master suite.

The bathrooms feature Corian countertops with illuminated recesses underneath for towel stowage. The separate shower cubicles feature Corian flooring with the addition of a rain shower in the ensuite of the full beam aft owner cabin. 

All the cabins feature wardrobes with slatted doors to ensure good ventilation for clothing, as well as Berber style carpets with luxury acoustic underlays and foam backed paneling on bulkheads to reduce noise levels.

Smooth, Safe Cruising

The Swift Trawler 54 brims with innovations and excels when cruising at 8-12 knots, but has the reserve power for up to 20 knots if required. Its two 550 HP engines provide up to 700 nautical miles of cruising at 9 knots (with a 10% fuel reserve). 

Visibility, control, communication, convenience, and social dynamics, with the helmsman at heart, were central to the design process to create a safer, more enjoyable, and efficient boating experience, per the company.

The main deck has multiple social/dining areas from bow to aft cockpit.

The Dixon Yacht Design “Fusion” hull form ensures more efficient navigation, with excellent all-round handling and comfort. The latest Sleipner Vector Gen 3 fins with electric motors provide more stability and 360-degree control with “on anchor” mode, using 50% less energy. 

Silent Boat Option

The Silent Boat option upgrades the boat with lithium batteries and solar panels, and the “Silent Boat” mode delivers eight to ten hours of on-anchor autonomy without the need to run the generator. The final innovations include a future-proof engine room for diesel-electric hybrid drive and a full WEBASTO climate system throughout the interior.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 available with low hamper or T-top

The Swift Trawler 54 is available with a low hamper bridge good for canal or loop cruising as well as with a T-Top with solar panels.
