Beneteau Swift Trawler 47

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 is the perfect expression of modern passagemaking in New Zealand waters, offering the freedom to slip away from the city and settle into the quiet beauty of the Hauraki Gulf. This 2020 model blends long-range capability with effortless comfort, delivering a cruising experience that feels equally at home exploring Great Barrier as it does anchored in a secluded Waiheke bay with a glass of wine in hand as the sun drops behind the hills.

Powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 engines, the ST47 moves with confidence, cruising economically at 8–9 knots or stretching out to 20–22 knots when you want to cover ground. Her generous beam creates remarkable interior volume, with a bright, wide-body saloon, three spacious cabins, and two well-appointed heads. The flybridge is a true highlight: expansive seating, commanding views, and the perfect place to entertain or unwind after a day on the water.

A hydraulic swim platform transforms the stern into a private beach, ideal for launching the tender, swimming, or simply sitting with your feet in the water. With 1,930 litres of fuel, 680 litres of freshwater, and Beneteau’s proven hull design, she’s built for extended cruising and comfortable independence.

Beautifully balanced, highly capable, and designed for the way Kiwis love to boat, the Swift Trawler 47 stands out as one of the most versatile and desirable family cruisers on the market today.
