The new Swift Trawler 48 advances the BENETEAU Range of practical and seaworthy passagemakers. The Andreani design focuses on easy living and circulation that builds on the wealth of Beneteau Trawler DNA and customer feedback. The Swift Trawler 48 is 48’4” long overall with a beam of 14’9” and is now positioned as the largest Swift Trawler in the Range only surpassed by the Grand Trawler as the flagship of the BENETEAU trawler range.
This full Range of models, from 35’ to 62’, is designed and built to explore new horizons. Their seaworthiness, incredible living spaces, and comfort have generated a following of 1300+ new builds and hundreds of additional owners in a community of long-distance boaters worldwide. The new Swift Trawler 48 has the size, space, and capability to continue the journey of seasoned cruisers and aspiring cruisers alike.
The generous 20m² flybridge floor area gives the space to create a comfortable layout so you can enjoy the panorama of the sea every minute of the day. The backrests on either side of the pilot seat allow plentiful forward-facing seating while making passage. Additionally, the transverse vis-à-vis seating and table area create a great area to eat & relax. This can be further complimented by the optional flybridge T-top with an inset sliding soft-top. Aft, a transverse wet bar facing forward, allows the person cooking or serving drinks to socialize with others relaxing on board. The aft flybridge space allows for sun loungers, paddleboards, or other small water accessories.
The helm station with an adjacent side door leading to the starboard midship cleat & bulwark gate allows for easy docking and circulation. The helm has space provisioned for 2 x 12” Raymarine MFD screens and the Beneteau Ship Control system. In addition, an aft docking camera, stern docking lights, and the optional Cummins integrated joystick system can be specified for a stress-free docking experience. The helm dash top, console, and adjustable pilot seat are finished in dark grey, creating a clean area for safe passage, making in all light conditions and complimenting the excellent helm visibility.
In the lower accommodation, entering the forward master cabin reveals a comfortable double berth with room on both sides of the bed for movement. With a headroom of 6’6” and a bed length of 6’6”, there is plenty of room for larger occupants. There are overhead lockers and wardrobes, large hull windows with inset portlights, and an overhead hatch that floods the cabin with natural light and cross ventilation.
The en-suite bathroom includes a separate shower compartment with a teak-slatted seat. The port guest cabin benefits from a large hull window with an inset portlight, stowage, wardrobe, and two single berths with an infill to convert to a double berth. Note that this cabin also features an en-suite door to the portside day head, where you will also find a separate shower compartment with a teak-slatted seat.

Dave and Jane Nolan, own Cape Yachts with two locations in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island as well as South Wharf Yacht Yard & Marina in Dartmouth, MA. Prior to being in the boating business, Dave was a CPA with Price Waterhouse. Thirty-five years ago in 1986, Dave fell in love with sailing and the waters of Nantucket. Wanting to run his own business, he decided to leave public accounting to found Cape Water Sports on Cape Cod. Soon after it became the largest Sunfish, Hobie Cat and Windsurfing shop in the Northeast. Three years later, Dave added Beneteau, Catalina, O’Day, Cal and Pearson to his stable of brands and changed the name of the business to Cape Yachts.
Growth, spurred on by the kind of expertise and service unique to Cape Yachts, continued through the 1990s making Cape Yachts the largest Beneteau dealership in North America with locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. During that time, Cape Yachts also began winning the coveted Beneteau President’s Award for superior sales and service – something we have been doing for 18 consecutive years.
In 2006, Dave purchased the historic South Wharf Yard in Padanaram Village of South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, saving the yard from being shut down due to decades of environmental impact. This location, steeped in yachting history, was a key American shipyard during an important era in the marine industry. Founded by an Act of the Boston Congress in 1832, South Wharf has been the site of whale ship building by Mathew, Mashow & Co. as well as Ray Hunt’s drafting office where Ray designed the Concordia Yawl and worked on his famous Deep V hull, that revolutionized the marine industry. The village of Padanaram is also where Herman Melville did a good bit of research for his classic ‘Moby Dick.’
South Wharf Yacht Yard & Marina has since been upgraded and overhauled by Dave and now also serves as headquarters for Cape Yachts. The yard’s marina boasts 90 protected slips and 4 wharfs that can accommodate vessels up to 130 feet.
