About

Twin Cummins QSB 6.7 diesels at 550 hp sit low on straight shafts with nearly 3,500 litres of fuel in tanks just aft, so daily checks are simple and the engine bay stays open and uncluttered. The hull rises onto a low, gentle plane with no hump; the boat feels settled at about 14–15 knots, sees roughly 18–19 knots at the top of the range, and drops to about 42 lph total fuel use at 8–10 knots for near-ocean-crossing range. Owners can add Sleipner fin stabilisers for roll control under way and at anchor, dual-station bow and stern thrusters plus a Cummins joystick pack for low-speed control, along with a “Silent Boat” spec that brings solar and a larger lithium bank into the standard electrical backbone.

Deck and superstructure reflect the trawler brief as much as the hull. Deep bulwarks, full-height rails and overhead cover on the side decks give a safe walk from the cockpit gates to the foredeck, where a split locker keeps chain apart from lines and fenders and a broad sunpad gains more use with a lift-up table and canopy option. A hydraulic bathing platform drops clear of the glass transom with built-in steps and a 400 kg tender lift, while the space under the cockpit turns into either a huge lazarette or a small but useful crew or utility room with a watertight door into the machinery space. Inside, twin side doors flank the central helm so the skipper can step straight to the deck, the raised dinette gives off-watch crew a clear view forward, and the midships lobby gains a washer-dryer and extra lockers rather than dead space. In a market full of glossy fast flybridge yachts, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 for sale offers a more workmanlike blend of range, safe decks and simple shaft-drive engineering.
