Burns less than 1 gallon per nautical mile at wide open throttle!
Powered by a single Cummins 425 hp diesel with bow and stern thrusters, she will cruise effortlessly at 16 knots with a top speed of 22 knots (WOT). At wide open throttle, the ST34 burns less than 1 gallon per nautical mile -- amazing fuel efficiency, made possible by her brilliantly engineered hull design, which boasts maximum stability and an impressively comfortable ride -even in rough conditions.
What the Press is Saying about Beneteau and the Swift Trawler 34:
"In America, boaters know Beneteau for its sailboats. However, the French builder has, at various times since its first splashdown in 1884, built various types of powerboats. In fact, Beneteauââ¬â¢s 52ââ¬Â² Swift Trawler won the European Yacht of the Year award when it was first introduced in 2007/2008.
According to the folks at Beneteau, there are now more than 36,000 Beneteaus floating around, and, on the basis of units built, an average of 283 per year, it has produced more boats than any other builder in the world. The Swift Trawler 34 is the beneficiary of those 127 years of knowledge and experience." - Sea Magazine
"Despite the name, this is not a trawlerââ¬âthat is to say, she does not have a full-displacement hull form. Consider her a hybrid, with a semi-displacement running surface that features fine foresections, two lifting strakes per side, a long but relatively shallow keel thatââ¬â¢s cut away around the props for good maneuverability, and most important, hard chines. [...] Underway, the well-designed hydraulic steering makes the 34 easy to pilot, and her long keel allows her to hold course even in a quartering sea. There appeared to be a lot of lift in the forward sections although running angles were moderate and proceeded in relatively straight-line fashion from idleââ¬âin other words, no hump." - Power & Motoryacht Magazine

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.
