Beneteau Swift Trawler 34: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Swift 34 is presented as a hands-on cruising boat, designed with practical features that cater to ease of maintenance and comfort. The focus of this review is on the engine compartment design, noise levels, and overall accessibility, highlighting the boat's thoughtful engineering.
Engine Compartment Design and Layout
The engine compartment is accessed via a centrally located hatch in the salon sole, constructed from three-quarter inch marine-grade plywood with an additional inch and a half of sound insulation beneath. This design aims to reduce noise transmission into the living areas. The compartment houses a Cummins QSB 5.9 engine, delivering 425 horsepower, which fits comfortably within the space, allowing sufficient room for general maintenance tasks. Key components such as the fuel filter, electrical panel, coolant tank, and raw water strainer are conveniently located on the port side bulkhead. The presence of a clear, wire-reinforced hose with double clamps and an easily visible through-hull fitting facilitates quick inspections. The engine is mounted on anti-vibration, noise-suppressing mounts, and the exhaust system features a six-inch double-clamped hose connected to an underwater exhaust outlet. The propulsion system includes a stainless steel shaft with a dripless shaft seal, eliminating the need for a stuffing box. Additionally, the starboard side contains a clearly visible through-hull fitting for the transducer. While the oil filter is somewhat difficult to access, suggesting a remote oil change system would be beneficial, the compartment is well-equipped with two fire suppression systems, enhancing safety.
Noise Levels and Sound Suppression
Sound testing was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the engine compartment's noise insulation. Ambient noise levels in the salon measured between 69 and 71 decibels during conversation. With the engine idling and the hatch open, noise levels rose slightly to an average of 74 decibels. However, closing the hatch reduced the sound level significantly to an average of 62 to 63 decibels, which is below conversational noise levels. This demonstrates the efficacy of the soundproofing measures integrated into the engine compartment design.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Swift 34's engine compartment reflects an intuitive and practical approach to boat design, prioritizing accessibility, safety, and noise reduction. The thoughtful layout and quality of components, combined with effective sound suppression, contribute to a comfortable and manageable cruising experience. Overall, the Swift 34 stands out as a well-engineered vessel suitable for hands-on boaters.

Other Information about Cape Yachts
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.
