Making its UK debut at the Southampton Boat Show, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 is the best in a very long line of high-volume long-distance cruising boats. True, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54’s aesthetic looks much more in line with the traditional styling of the smaller Swift Trawler models than with the superyacht-inspired Grand Trawler 62, but the ingenuity of the internal design is extraordinary. Rather than creating unbroken open-plan spaces, the Beneteau designers have deliberately compartmentalised each level into discernible zones for extra homeliness. You can opt for an ensuite crew cabin instead but either way, as the ‘Best Passagemaker’ at January’s MBY Awards, this is a Swift Trawler that warrants some serious attention.
