The Beneteau Swift Trawler 43 Fly embodies a new way of experiencing cruising: smoother, more comfortable, and more connected to the outdoors. True to the Swift Trawler DNA, it combines autonomy, safety, and onboard comfort in a boat designed to extend every moment on the water.
The flybridge creates a generous outdoor living space with a large U-shaped seating area and an adaptive backrest, allowing forward-facing views while cruising and converting to a convivial lounge at anchor. The flybridge also integrates storage and transport solutions for leisure equipment.
Below, the enlarged galley with Corian countertop and warm contemporary saloon create a residential feel. Accommodation includes an inviting owner’s cabin, a redesigned guest cabin, and bathrooms with true separate shower cubicles. Replacing the Swift Trawler 41, the 43 Fly offers more volume, improved liveability, and modern passagemaker capability.

She trades a sprint for range, and most owners will take that trade.
Twin Volvo Penta D4 diesels, 300 horsepower each, sit beneath a hull built by Beneteau Power for autonomy rather than outright pace, backed by 1,170 litres of fuel capacity. A 1 metre draught keeps shallow anchorages within reach, while Seakeeper stabilisation and joystick docking with proportional thrusters take the effort out of close quarters work. A retractable radar mast lowers her profile to clear bridges along inland and coastal routes, the kind of detail that matters on a boat built to cover ground rather than circle the bay.
Her lines borrow more from a sports cruiser than a trawler.
Dixon Yacht Design has drawn a profile that reads as modern and dynamic rather than boxy, continuing a Swift Trawler range Beneteau has refined for years without losing its passagemaking intent. The Fly configuration builds the profile around a full flybridge, deliberately raising the social deck above the waterline rather than confining life to the cockpit. A 4.3 metre beam carries real width through the hull, giving the silhouette a settled, purposeful stance at rest as much as under way.
The flybridge is where this boat actually lives.
A U shaped dinette seats up to six, its adjustable backrest letting three or four guests face forward under way before the whole arrangement turns into a convivial lounge at anchor. Face to face seating stretches capacity to seven, built around an electrically height adjustable table that converts to a sunbed when the day calls for it. A port side bar unit with grill, ice maker and refrigerator keeps the deck self sufficient for hours at a time, and a standard bimini with integrated LED lighting extends the day well past sunset. Storage for kayaks and paddleboards is built in rather than improvised.
Below deck, she reads more like an apartment than a boat.
The enlarged galley pairs a Corian countertop with a three burner stove, oven and a 176 litre fridge freezer, built for real cooking rather than reheating. The owner’s cabin sits forward with a double door wardrobe and under bed storage, and its own shower stall includes a built in seat. A redesigned guest cabin converts between two single berths and one double, and a dedicated utility room can take a washer dryer, a second fridge freezer or a wine cooler for up to twenty three bottles. Both bathrooms get a genuinely separate shower cubicle rather than a shared wet room, a detail that matters on longer stays aboard.
She replaces the 41 Fly with considerably more boat beneath the same name.
At 13.1 metres and 11.2 tonnes displacement, the 43 Fly gives Beneteau Power more volume to work with than the model she succeeds, translating directly into the extra liveability felt in the galley, the cabins and the flybridge. She seats up to ten guests for the day, and a 500,000 euro asking price positions her as a serious passagemaker rather than a weekend toy. For an owner who wants a trawler’s autonomy with a sports cruiser’s social deck, she closes that gap convincingly.
