The all-new Beneteau Swift Trawler 43 Fly makes its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, introducing the next generation of one of the industry's most successful passagemakers. Building on the renowned Swift Trawler heritage, the new model combines enhanced cruising capability, contemporary styling, innovative onboard solutions, and exceptional comfort for life at sea.
Designed by Dixon Yacht Design in collaboration with Beneteau Power, the Swift Trawler 43 Fly represents the third generation of the iconic range, offering a more refined profile, improved onboard ergonomics, and a stronger focus on long-range cruising. Measuring 13.13 metres in overall length with a generous 4.25-metre beam, she delivers remarkable interior volume while maintaining excellent efficiency and seaworthiness. Powered by twin Yanmar 320 HP engines, the yacht cruises comfortably between 8 and 12 knots, reaches a top speed of 23–24 knots, and offers an impressive cruising range of approximately 565 nautical miles at economical speed.
The expansive flybridge has been completely redesigned to become a true social destination. A spacious U-shaped lounge accommodates family and friends in comfort, while the co-pilot seat transforms to create additional forward-facing seating underway. An optional wet bar, foldable radar mast, dedicated paddleboard and kayak storage, and a thoughtfully arranged helm station further enhance both functionality and enjoyment on board.
Inside, the Swift Trawler 43 Fly offers a bright, contemporary living environment with panoramic glazing, premium materials, and intelligent use of space. The spacious saloon seamlessly connects to the cockpit, while the fully equipped galley provides generous storage and practical work surfaces for extended cruising. Below deck, the owner's suite enjoys direct access to a private bathroom with a separate shower, while the guest cabin features convertible twin berths and convenient Jack-and-Jill access to the day head. An additional utility cabin offers flexible space for extra refrigeration, a washer-dryer, storage, or an optional berth.
Among the yacht's standout innovations are the Adaptive Cockpit, featuring a sliding bench that creates a more versatile outdoor living area, and the optional Silent Boat Light Pack, combining lithium batteries, an inverter, and integrated solar panels to provide up to five hours of quiet onboard autonomy at anchor without running the engines. Optional electric skylights, Seakeeper gyro stabilization, joystick docking, and premium electronics further elevate comfort and ease of operation.
Created for owners who value exploration as much as comfort, the Swift Trawler 43 Fly effortlessly combines long-distance capability with the lifestyle of a modern cruising yacht. Whether navigating coastal waters, embarking on extended voyages, or enjoying weekends aboard with family and friends, she delivers the versatility, safety, and refinement that define the Swift Trawler philosophy.
