The 2005 Beneteau Swift Trawler 42 Fly is a masterclass in long-range cruising comfort, crafted to the acclaimed Joubert/Nivelt design brief that has defined the Swift Trawler series worldwide. Stretching 13.6 metres with a generous 4.17m beam, this vessel offers exceptional interior volume rarely found in her class, with two well-appointed cabins that make extended offshore passages genuinely pleasurable. The flybridge configuration provides commanding all-round visibility and al fresco helm enjoyment — perfect for navigating New Zealand's stunning coastal waterways and island anchorages.
Her trawler-inspired hull form delivers fuel-efficient, seakindly performance with a shallow 1.15m draft, opening up anchorages that deeper vessels simply cannot access. Beneteau's production quality and the Joubert/Nivelt naval architecture partnership bring credibility and resale strength to this listing. The Swift Trawler 42 has long been regarded as one of the finest semi-displacement cruisers in its size range — combining the practicality of a workboat aesthetic with the refinement of a premium European motor yacht.
Currently located in Auckland, New Zealand, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven bluewater cruiser at NZD $399,000. Ideal for couples or small families seeking adventure without compromise.
