Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 (2009 - 2017) Rivals

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Beneteau 34 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 4 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Galeon 360 Fly, share the same 4 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 34 benefits from a master cabin with a skylight is a standout. The Beneteau 37 Fly, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Beneteau 34 delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Bertram 35FB with an impressive cruising speed of 17 knots or the Galeon 360 Fly with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Beneteau 34 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Beneteau 37 Fly, with the slowest cruising speed of 8 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Bertram 35FB impresses with its extensive range of 552 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 360 Fly and Bertram 35FB all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Galeon 360 Fly focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 25 knots. Meanwhile, the Bertram 35FB offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
