A modern long-range motor yacht

The Grand Trawler 63 measures 18.95 metres overall and uses a full-displacement hull designed with MICAD Naval Architects. BENETEAU positions the model for owners who prefer extended passages at a measured pace.

Its design was originally announced in 2025, and the 2026 model information adds detail on the equipment and living arrangements. This is a practical overview, not a claim of a new launch today.

Range and the speed question

The manufacturer’s product page quotes up to 1,000 nautical miles at nine knots with a ten-percent fuel reserve. Twin MAN engines on straight shafts provide propulsion.

That figure is an official specification under stated conditions, not a promise for every load, sea state or captain. Planning a passage requires a vessel-specific fuel budget with an appropriate reserve.

Comfort at anchor and underway

Sleipner fin stabilisers are included in the published standard equipment, while an optional Silent Boat Pack addresses sound levels. Extra insulation is described in accommodation and machinery spaces.

The arrangement reflects the different sources of movement and noise on a long trip. Owners should experience the selected configuration and obtain independent survey advice where appropriate.

The living plan and helm

The yacht offers three- or four-cabin layouts, with a central galley and a redesigned helm using floating displays and Xenta electric steering. A large flybridge and spaces around the water extend the usable guest areas.

Equipment packages and later changes need confirmation with the yard or dealer. The official BENETEAU source and Grand Trawler 63 photograph support the specifications described here.
