The 2018 Beneteau Swift Trawler 30 represents the perfect fusion of timeless trawler aesthetics and modern cruising capability, and this example is ready to explore the stunning waters of New Zealand from its Marsden Cove base. At just under 10 metres with a reassuringly wide 3.53m beam, this vessel punches well above its size class — offering genuine two-cabin accommodation, a spacious saloon and the kind of sea-kindly hull form that makes extended coastal passages a pleasure rather than an endurance test. Beneteau's Swift Trawler range has earned a global following for its intelligent use of space, high-quality European fit-out and semi-displacement hull design that delivers both efficiency at low speed and the ability to push on when conditions allow.
The modest 1.05m draft opens up anchorages and marinas that deeper vessels simply cannot access. Whether you're planning weekend escapes to the Bay of Islands, extended North Island coastal cruising or simply enjoying life aboard at the marina, this Swift Trawler 30 delivers comfort, capability and iconic French style. Priced at NZD $449,000, this is a serious cruising package in a manageable, single-handed-friendly package.
Inspections welcomed at Marsden Cove.
