2022 Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 "BLESSED"

Boarding BLESSED immediately reveals the practical design that has made the Beneteau Swift Trawler 35 such a popular choice among experienced cruisers.

The spacious swim platform provides convenient water access and connects to the cockpit through an innovative opening transom arrangement. Hurley tender support brackets offer a practical solution for carrying the included tender.

The cockpit features a protected seating area, and convenient access to the flybridge by way of a stainless steel ladder with wooden steps. A large hatch in the cockpit sole provides access to the lazarette generator compartment and mechanical equipment.

Moving forward, the Swift Trawler's asymmetric deck layout becomes apparent. The generous starboard side deck, secure handrails, and starboard boarding gate make moving around the boat and handling dock lines particularly convenient.

Sliding glass doors lead from the cockpit into the salon, where large surrounding windows fill the interior with natural light and provide excellent views of the water.

The salon features comfortable seating and a convertible dinette to starboard, with a well-equipped U-shaped galley forward to port. The lower helm is located forward to starboard, with excellent visibility and direct access to the side deck through a sliding helm door.

A companionway leads below to two private staterooms and a shared head with separate enclosed shower. The forward owner's cabin offers an island berth, while the guest cabin to port features upper and lower bunk berths.

Above, the spacious flybridge offers a second helm station, comfortable seating, and an inviting area to relax or entertain while enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Throughout BLESSED, thoughtful design choices emphasize visibility, accessibility, efficient use of space, and ease of operation. These qualities are especially appreciated during extended cruising and transiting America's Great Loop.
