Exterior Description and Features
General:
The Swift Trawler 41 has a clever exterior layout, marked by an asymmetrical layout---the Starboard walkway is about a foot and a half wide, and set low close to dock level, with a midship door to access the dock (On the Port side, the deck is higher up and about a foot wide. With the helm to Starboard as well--and an extra-wide door to step out unto the sidedeck---it's quite easy to dock the boat to starboard (and either go bow-in or stern-in to achieve that.
Access to the foredeck is up a couple of steps, with high railings. It's easy to walk forward even while being underway. Aft there is a white fiberglass swim platform, and access to the covered cockpit via two wide gates.
Finally, the flybridge benefits from Beneteau's several generations of Swift Trawler boat building with clever design touches and ample space. There is seating for ten, the forward guest seats have backrests that can be shifted forward or back depending on which direction you want to sit. Aft there is an open deck, giving the user plenty of choices for additional gear, deck chairs, putting kayaks or whatever else. There's also a bar with an electric BBQ, sink, fridge and garbage.

Interior Description and Features
General:
The Swift Trawler 41 is very much set as a Europa-style layout, with the Galley, salon and helm on one floor, right when you enter the boat, and further forward are the three cabins--with the master all the way forward, away from the noise--and two heads. When you first enter the Galley is to port, then you have the salon settee and counter, with the helm to starboard. These are married together; the helm seating can be pivoted 90 degrees to face the settee and add seating (up to 7), while anyone in the Galley is truly part of the scene, without furniture in the way. There is glass everywhere, which really connects passengers to the exterior.
Down three steps are the cabins and heads; There's a Guest cabin to port with separate twin bunks, a filler section to make one queen-sized berth, a hanging locker and more storage, and very nice natural light. Across from the hallway is the third cabin, which tucks backward under the helm, and is a single berth. This will be a great storage area for people as well. Forward, to Starboard is a head with a combined shower area.
Finally, the Master Cabin is all the way forward; there is an island berth with a flip-up storage, cabinets to port and starboard, and plenty of great light via an overhead hatch and two side windows that show lovely views of the water. Beneteau nailed the head set up by splitting the head and shower, to Port and Starboard.
- Entrance - Aft, large sliding glass doors with two panels, can open just one door to enter or slide both panels to starboard, opening the back over 5 feet wide. Also, to Starboard is a large sliding door by the helm.
- Air Conditioning/Heating - Webasto Reverse Cycle Air conditioning/Heating. Operates from shore power or generator.
- Interior wood - Alpi (Engineered wood, made by Beneteau), in Oak. Gives the boat a light-filled and airy feeling. The floor is a light brown ultra-durable faux-wood with engineered plywood underneath

- Wipers - 3 Electric windscreen wipers with a synchronizing system, washer fluid
- Bug screens - on all sliding doors and opening portholes and overhead hatches
Galley:
The Galley is the first thing you pass as you enter the boat. This sounds strange but works quite well as if you open the doors wide, it's central between the aft cockpit and the salon. There is a U-shaped galley with sinks, storage, counters, and a cooktop, and across to starboard is the full-size refrigerator/freezer with storage on top. Forward of the fridge is a long countertop with storage including an ice maker. There's plenty of space for putting extra Galley equipment, like a coffee machine.
