Beneteau Swift Trawler 52

Semi-displacement 17-meter trawler designed by Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt, delivered in "Elegance" finish with varnished mahogany joinery. It is moored at the Old Port of Golfe-Juan. Put into service in Istanbul in 2011, it has navigated for over ten years under the command of a full-time captain, then joined the French Riviera in 2024 via Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Sardinia, and Corsica. Its current owners, former chief engineer captain and former chief stewardess of 60-meter units, handle the mechanicals and routine maintenance themselves. They are now resuming the same model in New Zealand to navigate the Pacific. Three helm stations, an independent crew cabin, 4000 liters of diesel fuel, and unusual storage volumes define a vessel designed for long-distance cruising. The vessel is under temporary admission regime, with European VAT unpaid: the listed price excludes tax.

1. Available port berth in Golfe-Juan
The berth is available and can be taken over by the buyer at their expense. In this basin, it’s an element that conditions the actual use of the boat more than its equipment.

2. Maneuvering with reduced crew
Three helm stations (flybridge, wheelhouse, and cockpit), bow and stern thrusters. The boat can be maneuvered by two persons, including in port.

3. Independent crew cabin
Three guest cabins, two bathrooms, plus a crew cabin with its own bathroom and access via the deck. This configuration is rare on a 17-meter unit.

4. Unusual storage volumes
Wardrobes, drawers, lockers, and under-bed storage in the three cabins, anchor locker, two mooring lockers, gas locker, and lazarette accessible from the deck. The boat carries long-range cruising equipment without compromising living space.
