**Brand-New / Factory-New Beneteau Swift Trawler 48 – The Flagship Passagemaker for Serious Cruisers – Ready for Your Next Horizon!**
Elevate your adventures with the **Beneteau Swift Trawler 48**, the largest and most capable in the iconic Swift Trawler lineup (surpassed only by the Grand Trawler 63). At 48'4" LOA with a generous 14'9" beam, this seaworthy explorer combines timeless trawler charm, exceptional long-range efficiency, and exhilarating performance—perfect for extended coastal runs, Chesapeake Bay to Bahamas voyages, or offshore passages from the Mid-Atlantic.
**Key Highlights:**
- **Semi-displacement hull** (proven semi-planing design) delivers the best of both worlds: economical displacement cruising at 8-10 knots (over 900+ nm range at 8 knots, or 600+ nm at 9 knots with fuel reserve) and efficient semi-planing speeds up to 18-20 knots for quicker passages when needed. Top speed reaches 23-26 knots with upgraded engines—versatile for any conditions!
- **Twin Cummins QSB 6.7 diesels** (standard 380 HP each, often upgraded to 425 HP) on shaft drives provide reliable power, smooth handling, and impressive fuel economy (e.g., ~6-7 gph at low speeds, 24 gph at 18 knots). Massive 510-gallon fuel capacity ensures 1,000+ nm range at trawler speeds—ideal for non-stop legs like New York to Miami or East Coast explorations.
- **Spacious 3-cabin, 2-head layout** sleeps 6 comfortably (plus convertible options), with a luxurious full-beam master suite featuring a near-king transverse berth, private head, and abundant natural light via hull windows. Forward VIP and guest cabins ensure privacy and comfort for family or friends.
- **Innovative living spaces** by Andreani Design: expansive saloon with panoramic views, U-shaped galley for easy entertaining, large flybridge (standard on most) with helm, wet bar, seating, and sun lounging. Cockpit flows seamlessly outdoors—add the optional hydraulic swim platform for tender/beach club fun.
- **Premium features** include CE Category B certification (for 12 persons offshore), bow/stern thrusters, Raymarine electronics suite, generator, self-bailing cockpit, electric windlass, and thoughtful touches like LED lighting, hot/cold showers, and huge storage throughout. Dry weight around 27,896 lbs keeps her responsive and efficient.
- **Built for blue-water confidence**—resin-infused GRP construction, soft-riding hull, and proven Swift Trawler DNA make her a favorite among long-distance boaters (over 1,300+ Swift Trawlers delivered worldwide).
This stunning **Swift Trawler 48** is primed for immediate enjoyment—whether you're upgrading from a smaller Swift Trawler (like the 37 or 41) or stepping into serious passagemaking from Towson-area waters. It's the ultimate all-rounder: economical for relaxed cruising, powerful when you need it, and luxurious for living aboard.
