Beneteau Swift Trawler 34
Overview
About this vessel
Popular and highly regarded for good reason, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 ticks so many boxes for comfortable and reliable cruising. With its spacious and light single-level living area, dual helm stations and roomy accommodation, "Moonbird" has a lot to offer and presents in exceptional condition throughout. Moonbird benefits from many fantastic upgrades, such as a NEW CUMMINS ONAN GENERATOR, NEW TENDER AND OUTBOARD WITH CRADLE, NEW WIRELESS DOCK MATE CONTROLLER, A NEW HEATING SYSTEM, NEW AIS, ALL NEW BATTERIES AND MORE! With extremely low hours, this vessel has been maintained properly with upgrades made to better the livability and functionality, resulting in a terrific coastal cruiser... One which has proven itself over significant ocean miles. With the ability to cruise at planning speeds, its occupants are able to push through nasty weather or simply arrive at destinations faster when desired. Moonbird presents a great opportunity to own a capable and proven distance cruiser that packs economical planning speeds, thoughtful and roomy spaces and enormous upgrades!
Stepping on board, its interior noticeably benefits from 360-degrees of tall windows (notably floor-to-ceiling sliding doors at the aft) that provide plenty of light into the main living areas. A comfortable settee sits to starboard, providing seating for 2/3 people around a weighted timber dinette, or otherwise will convert to a double berth if needed. With plenty of floor space, the saloon area feels notably spacious and forward to port is the large galley. Featuring a U-shape design with enormous bench space, a 2-burner gas stove and oven, a 12V fridge and great storage, it is perfectly suited to extended stays on board and will impress even the fussiest of chefs! Cleverly, all gas systems on board, including a cockpit BBQ, are routed through the same system, making the management of reusable tanks far easier. The lower helm sits to starboard and is extremely well equipped, featuring a Raymarine Hybrid Touch MFD, autopilot, NEW AIS, bow and stern thruster controls, a NEW wireless Dock Mate controller, radar and more! The helm is thoughtfully positioned with direct access via a side door to the starboard side deck. A well-placed access door and mid-ship cleat mean this vessel can be easily handled by one person.
The forward accommodation space feels roomy and is perfectly enough for 4 adults or a family of 4 for extended stays. The guest cabin sits to port and features a twin single bunk configuration, offering notably wide berths and great storage. The forward master cabin benefits from a large double berth with a thoughtful settee to port and large hanging lockers. Situated to starboard, a head services the vessel and features a large vanity and basin, marine toilet with holding tank and a shower which cleverly curtains off to avoid wetting the other areas.
Power comes from a reliable Cummins QSB 425hp diesel, providing an economical cruise of either 8 or 14-18 knots and sports very low engine hours with proper service history. Pair this with bow and stern thrusters and the new wireless Dock Mate controller, Moonbird is arguably as easy to handle as they come. When away from the berth, 240V power comes from a NEW Cummins Onan 6Kva generator.
A spacious flybridge provides a space to entertain or relax with a special view and with new upholstery and a timber dinette, it is perfectly suited for this, while the flybridge helm station is as equally well equipped as the lower main helm. The flybridge aft deck has been fitted to include the new Highfield tender, where a mast and davit system make for easy launch and retrieval.
If you prefer a lounge space a little lower to the water surface, a new bow sunbed has been fitted. It is when moving forward and aft that the asymmetrical cabin comes into its own, where the interior space is not compromised, yet the ease of moving to the bow area is excellent with a protected walk-around on the starboard side.
Designed and built by a reputable brand as a capable coastal cruiser with the ability to cruise at planning speeds without breaking the bank, Moonbird presents in excellent condition throughout. With its range of big-ticket upgrades, this vessel is perfect for those who want to explore further for longer without compromising on time.
