Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 - It's all about the big picture

by John Curnow on 29 Aug 2017
Using the iconic backdrop of the Sydney Opera House you can see why this is a cruiser par excellence - Beneteau Swift Trawler 50 John Curnow
Beneteau's new Swift Trawler 50 has abundant space, many areas for guests to find their own place on board, and the ability to glide along at six knots, or get well serious at over 20. She packs a punch in terms of amenity, overall performance, economy and range, as well as value for money.

Many thanks to the team from Flagstaff Marine for making it happen, but even more so to her new owners for letting us have a spin before they took her over to go an enjoy their coastal hops... Yes. The big picture, and you see plenty of it from just about everywhere on board! We'll be back with more details a bit later on...
