The SELLER's say's:
I'm excited that you're interested in seeing and learning more about our Swift Trawler 34, "Pure Joy". We've had her for 2 seasons in the beautiful fresh waters of northern Michigan and loved the times we've spent aboard. Others in our marina community often remark how much time we spend on our boat, a testament to how much we enjoy the boat. We are always looking for an excuse to head out, either by ourselves to relax or with friends to share a good time together on the water.
After completing the Great Loop on another trawler we tried sailing but found that at our age we really missed the trawler lifestyle. The one part of trawler boating my wife hadn't enjoyed was the relative lack of speed, so when we saw that a Beneteau Swift Trawler lived up to her name with a top speed of 19 knots, we took notice. The large flybridge, the covered side deck with boarding gate, and the overall good looks of the 34 completed the picture, and we were blessed to find this boat in North Carolina. We could hardly be happier.
After purchasing "Pure Joy" in late 2024 we had her trucked up to Michigan, which was much easier and more efficient than doing a large portion of the Loop again. She now spends her time in fresh water during the season and in indoor heated storage in the winter. All service has been handled at the local boat shop where she is stored. Bottom painted 3 seasons ago as she is used in fresh water but have replaced xincs seasonally.
We're looking forward to introducing you to "Pure Joy".

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.
