THE EXTERIOR SPACES

The aft cockpit can fit a table and two folding chairs together with a large transverse bench seat that seamlessly continues the indoor/outdoor living space. Intelligent design features such as the foot pedal operated sliding flybridge stairs, starboard sidedeck acrylic “wind stopper” door and overhead handrail further enhance the functionality and comfort found in this area. The transom double gate opens onto a large swim platform with an optional hydraulic lifting system able to carry a 770 Ibs tender or water toy.

Simple well-designed features such as the bathing ladder with swimming pool handrails ensure there is no easier way to enjoy the delights of the sea. On the foredeck there is the option of a sunpad with lift up sections creating forward seating – perfect for relaxing with a drink and a good book. Note the asymmetrical deck layout allows for a wide and well-protected starboard sidedeck with high bulwarks giving safe and easy access to this area.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The Main Salon – Space To Relax & Entertain

Entering through the patio doors there is a large L-shaped galley on portside aft with a full height 67-gallon fridge and freezer and large overhead lockers outboard. The standard galley has a gas oven or optional multi-function electric oven, a clever “magic corner” pull-out stowage unit, and cupboards & drawers that ensure plentiful capacity for extended cruising while still allowing space for an optional dishwasher.

The raised edge Corian countertop features a gas or induction cooktop and large sink. Opposite of the galley is a spacious sideboard with cupboards and an interior bottle rack.

The Lower Helm – Optimum Functionality With Easy Circulation

The helm station with 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 passagemaking in all light conditions and complimenting the excellent helm visibility.

Your Home On The Water – Great Cabins And Well Appointed Bathrooms

In the lower accommodation, entering into the forward master cabin reveals a comfortable double berth with room on both sides of the bed for movement. With headroom of 6’6” and a bed length of 6’6” there is plenty of room for larger occupants. There are overhead lockers & wardrobes, large hull windows with inset portlights & an overhead hatch which 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 inset portlight, stowage, wardrobe and two single berths with an infill to convert to a double berth. Note this cabin also features an en-suite door to the portside day head – in which you will also find a separate shower compartment with teak slatted seat. The starboard guest cabin features two portlights, a transverse double berth and a double door wardrobe that is large enough to place an optional washer/dryer in the base.

Personalization of your Swift Trawler 48 is possible with numerous interior and exterior variations. The standard interior wood is in finished in our Alpi Teak stain with an optional Oak finish for a lighter atmosphere. Additional upgrades to the interior finishes are available for the sideboard doors, and owner & port cabin wardrobe doors with wood or crème slatted doors with inset panels. Further interior personalization is possible with a selection of fabric choices for the wheelhouse u-shaped seating near the helm. Exterior fabrics are available in our standard Marlin white marine vinyl or upgraded Dolce 51.

The Swift Trawler 48 is provisioned to sleep 6 passengers, with three cabins in the lower accommodation and additional capacity with an easy-to-convert salon dinette with wrap around privacy curtains as standard equipment.

RANGE & PERFORMANCE

MICAD naval architects have designed a semi-planing hull that optimises fuel efficiency across the speed range. With 510 US gallons of fuel on board you can expect a range of +600nm at 9 knots displacement speed or 280nm at 18 knots efficient planing speed whilst retaining a fuel reserve of 10{feff43809d68b4bca5480e267f9969dc17ee32180a1c3b7ab43116b4dd0f1815}. This in combination with 169 US gallons of fresh water allows for considerable autonomy away from the dock. While Swift Trawler DNA is focused on comfortable & economic cruising – the standard pair of Cummins QSB 6.7 litre 380hp engines allows a top speed of 21 knots with the upgrade 425hp engines giving a top speed of 25 knots. So there is always plentiful “reserve power” available to take the boat beyond 20 knots should the need arise.
