2016 Beneteau 30' Swift Trawler
Seven Grand is a fantastic, very capable, sturdy 2016 Beneteau 30' Swift Trawler and is offered for sale for the first time since she was purchased new. She is powered by a strong, reliable single Volvo diesel D6 370 with 2,258 Hours. For easier docking there is a bow thruster, and she has an Onan generator in a sound shield. The owner installed solar panels to keep the vessel's batteries charged when not hooked up to shore power. The Trawler boasts a nice, bright, roomy, and comfortable air-conditioned salon with approximately 6'3" of headroom and a large forward air-conditioned owner's cabin. The bathroom is a split head and shower configuration. The vessel has a safe starboard side walkway to the bow, a single starboard side wing helm door, and a boarding hull gate. She has a very innovative transom that will open completely, stretching the aft teak deck out to the end of the swim platform, making great real estate while on the hook. The Trawler has an upper and lower helm station. Seven Grand is a safe, practical, comfortable long-distance cruiser. She has cruised to and from Fort Myers, Florida to New Jersey three times, she has cruised from Fort Myers to Sarasota up to Tarpon Springs numerous times and is ready to do it again with new owners.

BRIDGE, AFT DECK AND BOW WALK
You access the bridge from the aft deck, the ladder on the aft deck can be adjusted. You can have the foot of the ladder angled more into the aft deck or have it flush against the bulkhead allowing more room on deck. The transom is pretty unique: there are two-fold out chairs built into either side of the inside transom wall for interior cockpit seating, the cool part is the transom can open up and will split, allowing you to step out onto the swim platform and still utilize the side seats. You can take the table from the salon and eat a meal or just relax in comfort on the platform area. Mounted on each side on the transom is a Beneteau davit system carrying the boat’s hard bottom West Marine tender with Mercury outboard. The teak decking is in good condition, under the sole in the aft deck is the generator room. The generator is a generator in a sound shield with 1,012 hours on it.
Once on the bridge you can close the bridge hatch for safety. Forward on the bridge and starboard side is the upper helm with a canvas cover. The low-profile helm has a working color Raymarine hybrid touch, Volvo digital gauge, bow thruster joystick, Raymarine autopilot Lenco trim tad pad, RPM gauge, compass and Volvo engine shifters. Opposite is a seat *NOTE the seat cushions were showing their age, so they were replaced with throw pillows and cushions. Aft on the bridge is a large fiberglass storage box. The bridge has a bimini canvas top. The seller has also installed solar panels to keep the vessel’s batteries charged. The flybridge extends over both sides of the hull and covers the starboard walkway until the about midships. In midship, starboard side is the hull gate allowing easy boarding and the Captain’s helm door. Keep moving forward and up a couple of molded fiberglass steps and you are on the foredeck. At the bow is the Lewmar windlass and two anchor storage bins where you will find the hand remote for retrieving and dropping the boat’s anchor.
SALON, HELM AND GALLEY
As you enter through the starboard side door you immediately see the interior helm; the helm set up is very practical, especially for a single-handed Captain. When you enter the interior, you will also notice a comfortable, clean salon with a lot of natural light inside thanks to the large salon hull side windows, the tinted sliding glass pocket salon sliding doors and glass windshield. The salon has about 6’5” of head room. Starting at the helm, there is a double-wide helm seat with a bolster, you can sit at the helm or, if you prefer, you can stand. The helm wheel is a large hydraulic sailing boat wheel; under the helm is a footrest. The helm will open so you can access the back of the vessel’s electronics and wiring. For instruments you will see a large working color Raymarine Hybrid, Raymarine autopilot, the Volvo digital display, hour meter for the Volvo reading 2258 hours, fuel gauge, ship’s compass, ignition and joystick for the bow thruster, the trim tabs pad and engine levers. For communication you will have a Raymarine VHF.
The L-Shaped galley is to the port side with fair size countertop space. You will see two stainless steel sinks, cupboards under the countertop, pullout drawers and two separate fridges with ice boxes. For cooking you have a clean two-burner gas cooktop and a microwave. The sole in the salon and galley is a veneer wood finish. The wood throughout the boat is in very good condition, there are no water stains in the wood. Running down the salon on the port hull side is storage cupboard, the boat’s electrical panel, access to the salon AC unit, along with a flat screen TV. You will be able to open the port side salon window.
Another unique feature is the salon sofa. Each end of the sofa are pullout stools with storage, you can also pull out a larger center drawer and now you can convert the salon sofa into a pullout salon sofa bed. Another interesting feature is when the bed is put away and in the upright sofa position, you can move the sofa into the middle of the salon, lift the engine hatch in the sole behind the sofa giving access to the starboard side of the D6 Volvo and engine bay, along with access to the boat’s fire suppression system which was recently installed and certified. To get directly on top of the Volvo you access it through the center of the salon sole by pulling up the engine hatch. There is pretty good room in the engine bay. It is not a cluttered engine room, and it’s easy to access dipstick, filters, a few seacocks and the vessel oil changing system. The Volvo is a common rail, six-cylinder diesel, with rated 3500 RPM’s.
OWNER CABIN AND SPLIT BATHROOM
Forward of the galley and the lower helm on both sides just in front of the owner’s cabin are the head and the shower. The head has a solid sliding privacy door with a commode, sink, cupboards, mirror and port lights. On the opposite side is another solid door that will lead into a large comfortable stand-up fiberglass stall shower with a Teak seat. The owner’s cabin is forward with an inline bed. There is large storage under the bed and access to the forward cabin’s AC unit. The cabin has its own climate control. There are two closets. Both sides in the hull are port lights with pull-down blinds. The owner’s cabin also has a solid bifold door.
Seven Grand was built to cruise and is ready to go again with you. The fuel efficient D6 370 Volvo has many, many hours of service left in it and so does the generator. If you are a couple and looking to do the great loop, thinking about cruising the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas in a boat that a couple can easy handle and maintain with a solid hull that you can feel safe on in a choppy day at sea, Seven Grand has your name on her. For more photos and videos, contact the seller agent directly. We appreciate your interest in our listing.

2016 Beneteau Swift Trawler 30 Video Tours
Overview
The Swift Trawler 30 by Beneteau offers a compact and more affordable entry into the trawler market, blending the feel and features of a larger vessel with manageable size and handling. Measuring 34 feet 1 inch overall with a beam of 11 feet 7 inches, this boat is designed for coastal cruising with potential for limited offshore use, supported by its CE B8 rating which permits operation in winds up to 40 knots and seas up to 13 feet.
Power and Performance
Powered by a single 370 horsepower Volvo Penta D6 engine driving a straight shaft, the Swift Trawler 30 reached a top speed of 26.4 miles per hour at 3640 RPM during testing. Optimal cruising speed was identified at 3000 RPM, delivering 19.2 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of 13 gallons per hour, translating to a range of approximately 253 miles. Emphasizing its trawler heritage, the boat also performs efficiently at displacement speed, achieving 6.9 miles per hour at 1250 RPM with a fuel burn of 1.4 gallons per hour, enabling an extended range of 843 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from its 190-gallon tank. Handling characteristics are notably responsive and comfortable, with brisk, sporty turns and excellent low-speed maneuverability, aided by a bow thruster and a well-designed helm. Docking is straightforward, with minimal steering effort required in reverse, making it one of the easiest single-engine boats to operate.
Helm and Operational Features
The main helm station is thoughtfully laid out with rocker switches featuring clear icons, a 15-inch hybrid touch Raymarine display, and a stainless steel 24-inch destroyer wheel with cable-driven steering. Controls such as trim tabs and bow thruster are conveniently positioned near the digital engine control for ease of operation. The helm seat is double wide, adjustable, and includes a footrest that doubles as a step for shorter captains. Storage solutions are integrated nearby for essential items like VHF radios and binoculars. Visibility and ventilation are enhanced by a two-piece windshield with wipers and a side door that can be latched in multiple positions. The flybridge helm is more modest but functional, equipped with a nine-inch Raymarine display, basic rocker switches, and a collapsible console designed to facilitate bridge clearance for Great Loop navigation. Safety and comfort are maintained with well-designed railings and a secure hatch layout.
Deck and Exterior Features
The Swift Trawler 30 features an asymmetrical deck layout, with a wider starboard side deck measuring 18.5 inches compared to 9 inches on the port side, both protected by high bulwarks—36 inches on the sides and 32 inches forward—to enhance safety. Forward deck equipment includes a Lumar windlass with a stainless steel anchor roller, though the reviewer notes the absence of a dedicated securing method for both chain and rope rode. Access to the anchor rode and remote control is conveniently located on the starboard side. The boat’s design balances safety, functionality, and ease of movement around the exterior.
Systems and Amenities
The vessel is equipped with a 190-gallon aluminum fuel tank and two 30-amp shore power connections, supporting air conditioning and ship’s electrical systems. When away from the dock, a 7.5 kW generator housed under a gas-assisted, gasketed cockpit hatch provides power, with the compartment also offering generous storage space. Electrical controls, including shore-to-generator switching, inverter management, battery and water tank monitoring, and breaker panels, are conveniently located just inside the salon entrance. Main battery switches are positioned beneath the companionway steps for easy access. Sound insulation is enhanced by inch-and-a-half thick foam under the deck and engine hatch, keeping engine noise between 68 and 85 decibels, contributing to onboard comfort.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 30 successfully brings the trawler experience to a broader audience by combining manageable size, efficient performance, and thoughtful design. Its responsive handling, comfortable helm stations, and practical deck layout make it accessible and enjoyable for owner-operators. While primarily a coastal cruiser, its CE B8 certification and solid build suggest capability for limited offshore passages. Overall, the Swift Trawler 30 is a well-rounded vessel that balances traditional trawler virtues with modern conveniences and ease of operation.
