On Deck

The clever design details are appreciated, such as the positioning of the throttle, thrusters, and wheel, which can be accessed from the side deck. Highlights are the bathing platform and its transom, which can be opened out to create a beach club area, complete with a swimming pool-style ladder. While the boat has an emergency ladder, this additional feature makes it easy to access the water when swimming off the boat.

On the upper deck, the bucket seat at the helm and the provision for a barbecue or steamer chairs are admired. He praises the boat's large, open foredeck and the view it offers.

Interior

Inside, there is a free-standing table that can be extended, and a Z-bed that converts into a separate cabin with curtains for privacy. He is impressed by the ample storage space and the provision for a TV. The galley is equipped with an electric oven and hob, replacing the standard gas cooking facilities. There is a lot of thoughtful design, like the easily accessible helm and the multifunction display.

Below deck, the boat has a guest cabin and a spacious master cabin, both with full-sized berths and plenty of storage. The bathroom has a separate showering area, which is viewed as a smart use of space.

Performance

The engine, a 425hp Cummins, is easily accessible for servicing, with all the service items located on one side. Nick is particularly impressed by the boat's speed and fuel efficiency. At a cruising speed of 6 knots, it uses about 8 liters of fuel per hour, offering a range of around 700 nautical miles. However, the boat can reach speeds of over 20 knots if necessary, allowing it to outrun bad weather.

In Summary

Overall, Nick praises the Beneteau Swift Trawler 35, a yacht he describes as perfect for those who have plenty of time, perhaps retirees or former sailors, who want to live a marine life, traveling from port to port. He admires the boat's practicality, pointing out its low side decks and cut-out section that allows for easy boat handling, even when short-staffed. Nick admires the boat for its practicality, thoughtful design, and the freedom it offers, making it an excellent boat for spending long, leisurely days on the water.
