Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 is the flagship of the Swift Trawler range, the longest, widest and heaviest model the brand has built. Measuring close to 19 metres with a beam of 5.5 metres, it replaces the Grand Trawler 62 with modern styling, upgraded build materials and a list of detail changes while keeping the practical trawler character that has carried the Swift Trawler line past well over a thousand boats since 2003. It suits long-distance cruising couples who may carry crew, since it is large enough to need help yet was engineered to be handled double-handed. Built in Monfalcone, Italy, it is a seven-figure yacht, and anyone researching the Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 price should expect flagship-level positioning within the range.

Power comes from twin MAN i6 730hp diesels on straight shafts, giving a maximum speed of around 20 knots and a cruising speed of about 12 knots. The two fuel tanks hold 1,900 litres each for 3,800 litres total, which translates into long legs: roughly 2,500 nautical miles at 8 knots, around 2,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, and more than 1,000 nautical miles at 9 knots with a 10% reserve. Sleipner fin stabilizers are standard, work the instant they are switched on, and reverse through 18 degrees at anchor so the boat is paddled back against its chain rather than rocked across it.

Both the lower helm and the upper helm on the flybridge carry a three-screen Raymarine glass bridge, MAN throttle controls, autopilot, and bow and stern thrusters. The boat uses the Xenta system with electrically driven, independent rudders that can turn the inside rudder harder than the outside in a corner, and a joystick that links engines, rudders and thrusters for docking. A Xenta dynamic positioning function holds the boat stationary using the thrusters and engines without dropping anchor. Helm seats have flip-up bolsters for standing or sitting, and the floating MFDs keep forward sightlines clear.

The deck layout centres on a high-low hydraulic bathing platform with an integrated step ladder, tender chocks and a pop-out passerelle, with shore power and water inlets sited there. The covered cockpit uses modular freestanding furniture, a grab rail in the ceiling and a deck shower, with side gates on both sides. The flybridge runs roughly three-quarters of the boat's length, with a forward sun pad, an upper helm, a dining table that seats eight, and a wet bar fitted with a Kenyon grill, sink, fridge and optional ice maker. T-top choices include a standard hardtop, a convertible top, and a solar-panel "silent boat" top that can run systems without the generator.

Below decks the Grand Trawler 63 offers a three-cabin, three-head or a four-cabin, three-head layout. The forward VIP has an offset double, large hull windows and an ensuite with a separate walk-in shower; a twin cabin shares a jack-and-gill heads that doubles as the day head; and the full-beam master amidships has hull windows, a dressing table, abundant storage and an ensuite with a seat in the shower. Headroom is generous throughout, and cabinetry now uses positive push-button catches so doors stay shut in heavy seas.

The saloon is finished in walnut flooring with a wine cooler, Fusion stereo, pop-up TV and running handholds, opening through a three-part sliding door to the cockpit. The galley can be specified open-plan or enclosed with a sliding serving hatch, and includes a Miele dishwasher, hob, sink, fridge and freezer plus a side door for airflow and crew access. Aft, the skipper cabin is reached externally so crew can come and go without disturbing owners; it holds two bunks, a separate shower and head, and a washer-dryer, alongside engine room access to the MAN diesels, generator, sea strainers and fuel-water separators.
