Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 35 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best for Travel"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 35 delivers speeds of up to 18 knots.

Accommodation

The Beneteau Yachts 35 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of six ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Bertram 35 Flybridge with its limited cabin configurations for two guests, may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Beneteau Yachts 35 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 15 knots and a top speed of 18 knots. The Beneteau Yachts 35 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 Nord Star 36 which has an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots powered by its twin 270hp Volvo Penta D4-270 engines and can reach a top speed of 43 knots. This is closely followed by the Cranchi T36 with a notable cruising speed of 27 knots and top speed of 34 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Cranchi T36 impresses with its extensive range of 550 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 300 Fly and Ranger Tugs R-31 CB all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Nord Star 36 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 43 knots and cruising speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 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.
