Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 Flybridge
2019–2022
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 is a three-cabin flybridge cruiser designed for faster long-distance family cruising. Twin diesels, broad side decks and a large flybridge make it substantially more capable and more complex than the smaller single-engine Swift Trawlers.

Best for
- Families or couples wanting substantial long-range accommodation
- Coastal and Great Lakes cruising with larger marina infrastructure
- Owners comfortable maintaining twin diesels and yacht-scale systems
Trade-offs
- Twin machinery and larger systems increase ownership cost
- Nearly 15-foot beam requires larger slips and haul-out facilities
- Flybridge air draft limits some inland routes
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Inspect both engines, shafts, exhausts and cooling systems
- Inspect flybridge structure, electronics and helm controls
- Inspect side doors, glazing and deck penetrations
- Review generator, charging, sanitation and domestic systems
