From Cannes introduction to Genoa inspection
BENETEAU's Genoa show list confirms the Swift Trawler 43 Fly, rather than the Sedan variant, in the motor-yacht section. The October appearance is a subsequent display of a model introduced at Cannes, not an additional world premiere.
For buyers who did not attend the Riviera launch, the Italian show provides an opportunity to see the arrangement at closer range. A flybridge trawler serves a different daily routine from a fully open express yacht of comparable length.
An extended-stay cruising brief
The builder places storage, easy handling and usable social space at the centre of the Swift Trawler range, which is designed for owners who spend more time aboard. The 43 Fly adds an upper helm and open-air seating while retaining a protected main-deck saloon.
Available systems include joystick control, stabilisation and expanded navigation displays depending on specification. An owner should confirm the exact options aboard the show boat before assuming that every illustrated feature is standard.
Dimensions and equipment
The published specification lists 13.13 metres overall, 4.25 metres of beam and a maximum draft of approximately 0.97 metres. Fuel capacity is 1,170 litres and fresh water 400 litres, while the certification is listed as B8, C10 and D10.
BENETEAU offers three- and four-cabin arrangements in the model literature, so the berth count and storage plan need to be viewed in the exact chosen configuration. The flybridge's upper deck is part of the ownership proposition rather than a universal fit for all intended cruising climates.
A comparison for buyers
A careful visit should include the steps to the flybridge, sightlines from both driving stations and movement through the saloon with guests aboard. Practical galley storage and the route to the aft deck can matter more over a week-long passage than showroom styling alone.
The official image selected for this report depicts the Swift Trawler 43 Fly and is distinct from the Sedan's imagery. Buyers should request the hull-specific engine and electrical specification as well as sea-trial consumption before making a purchasing comparison.
