Beneteau Swift Trawler 47: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Swift 47 is the latest addition to the Swift trawler lineup, which has expanded from three to five models over the past three years due to its success. This new 47 model features significant improvements in layout and functionality, with a particular focus on performance and handling. The boat combines traditional trawler attributes with modern enhancements, aiming to deliver a comfortable and responsive cruising experience.
Exterior Design and Operational Features
The Swift 47 is equipped with four 16-inch cleats on each side, including two midship cleats, facilitating secure mooring. On the starboard side deck, dual fuel fills and a water fill are conveniently located. The bow features a 32-inch high rail at the working end, complemented by a split bow rail designed for bow boarding. Dual anchor rollers support delta plow anchors, operated by a Lumar windlass. Road storage is available on both sides, although the reviewer notes the absence of a central cleat for securing the anchor roads. Two cockpit hatches provide access to the lazarette, housing a 9.5 kW generator with an exhaust diverter that routes water below the waterline to reduce noise at anchor. Ample storage surrounds the compartment, with easily accessible water strainers and battery placement. The engine compartment is accessed via a hatch in the salon and benefits from extensive soundproofing.
Power and Performance
The Swift 47 is powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 engines, each producing 425 horsepower, connected to straight shafts. Service points are conveniently located on the port side for ease of maintenance. The boat measures 48 feet 4 inches in length overall, with a beam of 14 feet 6 inches and a draft of 3 feet 10 inches. With an estimated test weight of 31,935 pounds, including fuel and crew, the boat demonstrated a top speed of 26 knots at 3,090 RPM, consuming 42 gallons per hour and offering a range of approximately 284 nautical miles. At a slightly reduced speed of 24.7 knots and 3,000 RPM, fuel consumption dropped to 32.6 gallons per hour, extending the range to nearly 348 nautical miles. In displacement mode at trawler speed (1,250 RPM), the boat cruised at 8.1 knots while burning just 3.8 gallons per hour, resulting in an impressive range of 970 nautical miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The Swift 47 accelerates quickly, reaching planing speed in seven seconds and 20 miles per hour in under ten seconds. Handling is responsive and precise, aided by large propellers, rudders, and bow and stern thrusters, which facilitate easy maneuvering even in tight spaces.
Helm and Bridge Layout
Unlike many trawlers with starboard-mounted helms, the Swift 47 features a center-mounted helm station on both the main deck and the flying bridge, providing excellent visibility through the panoramic windshield. The main helm console includes a centrally placed compass, analog tachometers with selectable information, fuel gauges, and dual 12-inch multifunction displays integrated with the ship control system, allowing full management of onboard systems including power from the generator and inverter. Additional controls include autopilot, rudder indicator, USB connectivity, bow and stern thruster controls, and digital engine controls. The helm is equipped with a vertically mounted, leather-wrapped destroyer wheel and a flip-down step for comfort. A separate panel and a newly introduced touchpad provide alternative control over the 12-volt systems. The flying bridge helm mirrors this layout with a center-mounted compass, dual 12-inch displays, analog gauges, autopilot, spotlight controller, trim tab controls with LED indicators, and bow and stern thruster controls, all arranged ergonomically for ease of operation.
Handling and Sea Trial Impressions
During the sea trial, the Swift 47 demonstrated exceptional handling characteristics. The combination of large propellers, rudders, and bow and stern thrusters allowed for precise and effortless maneuvering, even in the confined spaces typical of a boat show environment. The boat responds quickly to helm and throttle inputs, with smooth acceleration and the ability to swiftly avoid obstacles. Although sea conditions were calm, the vessel provided a dry and comfortable ride when crossing wakes, with no hull slap and smooth transitions. Soundproofing measures proved effective, maintaining noise levels at or below conversational levels within the salon when underway with doors and windows closed. Docking was facilitated by an opening side door that improved visibility and access to the midship cleat, allowing for gentle and precise control when approaching the dock.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Swift 47 builds upon the strengths of its predecessors with thoughtful improvements in layout, functionality, and performance. Its center-mounted helm stations, powerful yet efficient twin engines, and advanced control systems contribute to an easy-to-handle and responsive vessel. The boat’s soundproofing and comfortable ride enhance the overall cruising experience, while practical features such as ample storage and accessible service points add to its appeal. This latest Swift model reflects Beneteau’s commitment to continuous refinement and innovation within the trawler market.
