Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Swift Trawler 54 delivers speeds of up to 19 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sundeck Yachts 580 and Azimut 53 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Swift Trawler 54 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Nordhavn N52 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 5 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 9 knots and a top speed of 19 knots. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Sirena Yachts 58 which has an impressive cruising speed of 16 knots powered by its twin 641hp Caterpillar C8.7 E01 engines and can reach a top speed of 30 knots. This is closely followed by the Sundeck Yachts 580 with a notable cruising speed of 17 knots and top speed of 28 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Cranchi T53 impresses with its extensive range of 1,748 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Cranchi T53, Cranchi T55 Trawler, Sundeck Yachts 580 and Sirena Yachts 58 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Prestige F5.7 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 23 knots. Meanwhile, the Sirena Yachts 58 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 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.
