Sorry, I meant buy a used MJM. . .Beneteau has let us all down here.

John Bock - 5 years ago

Used MjM. . .seriously crappy build. . .

The squeaking is hilarious. Is it made of tea chests stapled together? €500k....you must be joking.

Weston Badke - 5 years ago

That squeaking is in all of their production boats. Even the MC series.

Justine-Paula Robilliard - 5 years ago

The last part of the video why why are you whispering? Not sure...are you embarrassed by the poor quality? But the audio level change is drastic....My advice, record 2 minutes of natural sound at the location, then when you are voice-overing away from the boat, add the nat sound "behind" your voice over, so that it sounds like you are on board...match levels...

Justine-Paula Robilliard - 5 years ago

Question...why call it a trawler? For me the word "trawler" has a certain professional fishing connotation, that is, of a working boat, I cannot see this hunk of junk fairing very well as a working ship, doing hauling and dealing with nets and tons of fish...no refrigeration on board, no fish processing facilities... what makes it a trawler?

Justine-Paula Robilliard - 5 years ago

@Weston Badke The concept is soiid, but the small bunks, the silly decisions about power plug positions, the lack of care in the shower, the stupid chair on the fly bridge, they are a professional design company, and well why would anyone buy this hunk of junk? It is not worth $20...

Weston Badke - 5 years ago

Justine-Paula Robilliard the builder needs help on design and quality control. Problems with mass production. Also Trawler typically means Single Engine. The Nordhavn have a winning platform.

Justine-Paula Robilliard - 5 years ago

That side door, what idiot thinks it is a good idea to just have 1 massive door?? Only morons...it should have been a 50/50 split with the top 1/2 a slide, so that the door can be closed with the top bit open for ventilation, and the bottom stopping water ingress...but no, idiots at Beneteau think water ingress is good for the boat...cheap cheap poor design, should be towed out to sea and sunk...

Justine-Paula Robilliard - 5 years ago

Not sure how much one of these goes for, but it is a hunk of junk, the quality of the design overall is poor, the workmanship substandard, and really it is only fit for sinking as an artificial reef.. as a live-aboard boat, it is not fit for purpose, The lack of power points, the design of the shower with that stupid tube just looping, really this is a £1000 boat. It is not a good quality boat at all....

It’s a beautiful boat. I think the plugs and USB charging hubs in the cabin should be closer to the headboard, as you’d need one heck of a long cord to charge and use your devices in bed? A little bangbus is nice before bed.

WAY... to much creaking from the floor for that kind of boat and price. It’s awful. Sounds cheap and unfinished.
Would drive me crazy on overnights.

Wouldn't be a proper liveaboard test without bringing your partner! The Haines family mutt stayed at home this time, but you've just given us a great idea for an even more rigorous test...

John Smith - 5 years ago

My second favorite boat. The Jeanneau NC 1095 Fly (Merry Fisher 1095 Fly) is nicer and a good bit less expensive. Smaller though but not by usable space.

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier The Swift 50 really is the one I need and the nicest but is a big step over the 1095.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

John Smith I don’t deal with outboard boats anymore. But they’re good fishing boats. Less accommodation inside but plenty of cockpit space

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier The Beneteau Barracuda 27 looks nice. How much are those? What do you think of them?

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier Lots of folks sell boats in a year or less. I sold a 2018 in July to buy a 2019. Soon to sell it to try and score a 1095 or maybe a Swift Trawler if I decide to go that route. Kept my Caribe 11ft tender since my plans are solid and Caribe is hard to be.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

John Smith yes 1095 coupe was released beginning of last year

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier I meant any 1095. Not just the 1095 Fly. I'm in the USA BTW.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

@John Smith well it was only released last year :)

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier The 11 does have some nice features built in but with just 2 cabins and 1 head it's obvious that the 1095 is a better use of space with 3 cabins and 1 head. I have never even seen a used 1095 for sale. People must really like them.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

@John Smith 1095 is around £180k with good spec and tax I think. Swift trawler 30 is £280k good spec and tax. So yes its different but the models dont really compare, quality and ergonomics etc. Antares just released the 11. So that competes with the 1095.

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier A shame they don't make an Antares 35 for $230k or so. The 27 just doesn't compete well with the NC1095.

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier And how much is the NC1095? Compared to the Swift? My point exactly. It's just not worth double.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

John Smith the Merry fishers compete against the Antares anyway, price wise. I am a dealer for them yes. Most popular model is the 35. The 50 is impressive. They retail ~£1million. I have a 2016 one for sale and it is listed £535k. Shows how much the big boats depreciate.

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier The Trawler to have is the 50. That is if you want a boat that size and at that price.

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier Who the heck is talking about just the fly bridge? Maybe you are I guess. As a whole the NC is a better thought out boat and about 1/2 the price. I'd take the regular 1095 over the Swift. Why are you shilling Beneteau? Work there?

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

John Smith go look at the fly on the 1095 vs the swift trawler 35 then come back to me

John Smith - 5 years ago

@CharlesXavier It's ahead not behind. Way better use of space and outboards are better.

CharlesXavier - 5 years ago

the 1095 has only just brought out the fly version. so it is many leagues behind the Trawlers flybridge. also the 1095 has outboards only and is planing hull etc.

Motor Boat & Yachting - 5 years ago

The MF1095 sure packs a lot into 34ft! Here's our tour from SIBS 2019 if you fancy a side-by-side comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsD0gGNpUqI

Creepy presenter and creaky yogurt pot of a boat. There both simply boring!! its all so like being in a dentist surgery, sterile!

okumonux - 5 years ago

Am I the only one who is super critical about those arches on the sidedeck? How to bring a mooring line from the stern to the bow? I can't see the point. Ps.: ok, the arches are pretty far back on this paricular boat, but nevertheless, is there a structural need for those arches?

Bob Dobalina - 5 years ago

Wow, a reviewer who finds the problems with things, it's a unicorn. I am honest to my own detriment, so i love when someone points out problems in a review and I especially love a company who responds and then let's you back again, hallefuckinglujah, a light at the end of the tunnel. Loved the boat and the channel, subbed.

kristoff scuba - 5 years ago

Have to wonder who's spending £625,000 in the UK on this instead of a fully planing Princess that's a few years old... and having some money left over for fuel. Boating in the UK isn't about plodding around in semi displacement mode to cover long distances. Its about finding a short weather window, loading the boat up with people, putting the hammer down to get from your home port to a decent hang out destination (an IOW pub for example), and then back again, in no more than a weekend. More usually in a day. The range of this thing is useless for the average boater. In the UK at least. And the build quality looks "meh".

Alan J - 5 years ago

As an IOW pub is about 650 nautical miles from my UK home berth, I would need that sort of range to get there. Don't have the £625,000 though.

Stangelycoloured - 5 years ago

Stayed on one of these for 4-5 days a couple of years ago (well the smaller 36) and it was fantastic. Rolls like a bugger when large wakes hit from the rear quarter but that's the nature of the hull. Great boats.

Kenneth André Hansen - 5 years ago

I really like the concept and layout on the Swift Trawlers, but I would never pay those figures for a boat that squeaky. I sure hope the production models are way better than that. My 30 year old boat is dead silent in comparison.

chunkychinn - 5 years ago

Now this looks great BUT it's bobbing around like no ones business, are there no stabilisers? Also air con? Water filter system, I mean if this can do nearly 1 thousand nm what other features does this have? Thank you

Nice little ship, although how you put up with all that creaking for 24hrs I’m not sure. My boat is 20+yrs old and doesn’t make that much noise!!

Herr Pepe - 5 years ago

Great video concept. Could be expanded to cover more of the boats features. What’s is it to cook in the galley, how comfortable are the beds, etc.

Russtafa B - 5 years ago

This is a really clever concept.
Instead of these quick walk throughs shows how a boat can actually be used in a leisure scenario.
Rolls around a bit and think a seakeeper would help a lot.
Great boat for the money and like the range of 800nM at 6 knots you could really travel around at your leisure on this boat and have a lot of fun

Nick Chatburn - 5 years ago

Russtafa B apart from the creaking and terrible build quality...

computerbob06 - 5 years ago

There's certainly enough room in that lazarette for a small sea keeper - and on the centerline as well!

Mike will not much room in that boat for one. They would have to put it into the Lazzarette. Better option are fin stabilizers.

@CharlesXavier In the end they did say it's a pre-production model and the creaking should be fixed in the final version.

not sure why this model is creaking. i sell swift trawlers and they are built well and no notable creaking like this one. very good value these boats.
