2022 Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Fly

Encantada 2022 Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Flybridge

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Flybridge represents one of the most thoughtfully engineered semi-displacement cruisers on the market today. Designed for short passage-making without sacrificing the comforts of home, the Swift Trawler 41 Fly strikes an ideal balance between range, seakeeping, and livability. Twin Volvo Penta diesel engines, a wide stable beam, and a deep-V hull make her equally at home crossing the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas or completing the full 6,300-mile Great Loop. With a flybridge helm station offering panoramic visibility, a spacious cockpit, and a three-cabin interior finished in warm Alpi Oak, this is a boat that works as hard as it plays — and looks good doing both.

Why Encantada?

This 2022 example stands apart from any stock vessel thanks to an owner who invested significantly in carefully chosen upgrades to create the ultimate Great Loop and Bahamas cruiser. From a flybridge enclosure that extends the cruising season in any weather, to a 40 GPH watermaker and 600 amp-hour lithium battery bank that deliver true offshore independence, every addition was made with extended passage-making in mind. With fewer than 520 hours on each engine, fresh bottom paint and prop speed applied in 2023 and 2025 respectively, and a ready-to-go equipment list that includes a 9.5-foot AB inflatable with a 15 HP Tohatsu outboard, this boat is ready to depart for adventure the day she is purchased. Rarely does a vessel of this age, condition, and specification come to market — she represents exceptional value for the serious cruising buyer.

Propulsion & Handling

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D4-300 diesel engines and direct drive shaft deliver confident cruising speeds and ample reserve for adverse conditions. The port engine shows 517 hours and the starboard 513 hours (at the time of listing), reflecting a very young, well-matched drivetrain. Two Racor engine water separator filters are fitted, providing an important layer of fuel protection for offshore passages.

Handling has been significantly enhanced beyond the standard specification. Bow and stern thrusters allow this 41-footer to be managed single-handed in tight marina situations with confidence. 

Electronics and Navigation

The vessel is equipped with the Beneteau “Essential” electronics package, with key upgrades including a brand-new radar. Navigation and communication systems include:

• Raymarine 12" chartplotter/MFD at lower helm
• Two Raymarine 9" chartplotter/MFD at flybridge helm station
• Raymarine autopilot operable from both helm stations
• VHF radio
• Radar 

Electrical and Comfort Systems

This vessel has been comprehensively upgraded to support extended offshore and liveaboard cruising with a level of energy independence rarely seen at this price point:

• Lithium house battery bank: 600 Ah (540 Ah useable) — approximately 2.7x the useable capacity of the standard 400 Ah AGM bank
• Fold-out solar panels: 440 watts, providing substantial daily charging without generator or engine use
• Generator: Cummings Onan 7.5 kW — 580 hours (at the time of listing)
• Shore power: / 50A
• A Mastervolt 2kW Inverter
• Air conditioning and heating 
• Water heater
• 12V and 110V electrical circuits throughout
• AO Smith water filtration system

Galley and Accommodations

The U-shaped galley is well-equipped and benefits from the owner’s addition of a new propane stove top and oven, along with a custom counter top remake to suit. Appliances include:

• Propane stove top and oven (owner upgrade, new installation)
• Refrigerator
• Stainless steel sink
• AO Smith water filtration system

The three-cabin, two-head layout is finished throughout in warm Alpi Oak woodwork. The raised saloon dinette offers a social gathering space, while a rotating pilot chair at the lower helm keeps the skipper connected to the action. Accommodation is suitable for extended liveaboard cruising for a couple or small family.

Deck and Cockpit

The exterior is designed for serious cruising and entertaining in equal measure. Key features include:

• Flybridge enclosure — owner upgrade converting the flybridge into a weather-protected all-season lounge and helm

• A Freedom remote control lift for the dinghy for easy launching. 

Safety and Anchoring

The anchoring setup has been meaningfully upgraded. A stainless Rocna anchor — regarded as one of the most reliable modern anchor designs — is fitted with an additional 92 feet of chain beyond the standard scope, providing exceptional holding in a wide range of bottom conditions. The PuraSan EX waste treatment system allows legal overboard discharge in open water, eliminating the need to travel offshore to pump out the modest 32-gallon holding tank — a practical advantage for Bahamas and coastal cruising. Additional safety equipment details are available upon request.

Summary

This 2022 Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 Flybridge is not a stock vessel — it is a purpose-built cruising machine. With low engine hours, recent maintenance throughout, and a tender package ready to go, she is one of the most complete and immediately deployable examples of this popular model available today. Buyers seeking a turn-key vessel that can depart for the islands or the Loop without a single additional expenditure should place this boat at the top of their shortlist. Serious inquiries are welcomed — she is competitively priced to reflect her exceptional specification and condition, and will not remain available for long.
