Designed for boaters who appreciate the relaxed pace and reliability of trawler-style cruising, the Swift Trawler 42 offers impressive interior space, versatile entertaining areas, and the ability to cruise confidently along the coast or explore distant harbors.

Boarding from the swim platform, you’ll find easy access to the spacious cockpit, a welcoming outdoor area perfect for relaxing at anchor, enjoying morning coffee, or preparing to step ashore. The cockpit provides direct access to the wide side decks, allowing safe and comfortable movement forward along the vessel.

Wide, secure side decks with sturdy handrails make it easy to reach the foredeck, where there is generous space for anchoring duties as well as a pleasant spot to enjoy the view while underway or at anchor.

A short staircase leads up from the cockpit to the flybridge, one of the most popular features of the Beneteau Swift Trawler 42. The flybridge offers excellent visibility for the captain along with comfortable seating for guests, creating an ideal space for cruising, socializing, or enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding waters.

Large windows surround the salon, allowing natural light to fill the space while providing excellent visibility from inside the vessel.

The salon offers comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining guests while underway or at anchor. Adjacent to the salon seating area, the lower helm station provides excellent forward visibility and convenient interior navigation capability during inclement weather or cooler cruising days.

One of the standout features aboard Blue Moon is the custom galley, thoughtfully modified to enhance both functionality and onboard living. The upgraded layout provides improved workspace, storage, and convenience for meal preparation while cruising. Positioned within the salon area, the galley allows the cook to remain part of the conversation while still enjoying a practical and efficient workspace.

Below deck, the Swift Trawler 42 offers comfortable accommodations designed for extended cruising. The forward owner’s stateroom features a comfortable island berth, storage lockers, and excellent natural light and ventilation.

The guest cabin provides twin berths and additional storage, making Blue Moon well-suited for cruising with family or friends. The vessel’s well-designed head compartment includes a marine toilet, sink with vanity, and separate shower area, providing the comforts expected in a capable cruising yacht.

Throughout Blue Moon, the design philosophy of the Beneteau Swift Trawler 42 is evident—efficient cruising performance, comfortable living spaces, and practical features designed for life on the water.
