Beneteau Swift Trawler 42 - Panama

Price: AUD $555,000

'Panama' is a beautiful 2009 Beneteau Swift Trawler listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Berowra Waters. 

Designed for extended coastal cruising, the Swift Trawler is a unique vessel which offers a no-compromise combination of traditional trawler styling, with semi-displacement performance, allowing a cruising speed of 18 knots. Generous accommodation, excellent storage and practical deck layouts are all key attributes of this design. 

Powered by twin Volvo Penta 300HP engines with just 816 hours and supported by a Cummins 7kW generator with 353 hours, 'Panama' is well equipped for reliable and long-range cruising. The MAX Power bow thruster means manoeuvring in tight spaces is a breeze. 

Step aboard and you're greeted by a warm, classic English coastal feel, with beautiful mahogany woodwork, large windows offering 360-degree views, and traditional pull-down blinds and lampshades that create a refined, homely atmosphere. The 2-cabin, 2-head layout includes a forward master cabin with a semi-island berth and ensuite, plus a second cabin with a Pullman and fold-down bunk. The convertible salon provides an additional double berth if required. Excellent storage runs throughout, and the removable carpets and two reverse-cycle air-conditioning units further boost comfort, no matter the season. 

Outside, the traditional trawler styling is matched with a highly practical and safe deck layout. Sunken passageways with high bulwarks provide easy movement from the cockpit to the foredeck, and a well-equipped swim-step provides a perfect platform for cruising activities. Upstairs, the flybridge offers an excellent space for navigating and entertaining, complemented by settees, a fridge and sink, and a full set of clears for complete shelter. The 250kg Davco crane supports a Highfield 2.3m tender with a Mercury 15hp outboard, making 'Panama' well equipped for exploring beyond the marina.
