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

About this record

B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
