Beneteau Oceanis 34 for sale in Deltaville, Virginia United States of America

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 34 is a small trawler, capable of trawler speeds of 7-8 knots, but able to get up on the plane and outrun any weather at 19 knots. In 2012, Beneteau introduced the ST 34 to the US market, by sending it on the Great Loop. The adventure took place between May and September of 2012, starting and ending in Annapolis.

The shape of the underbody, along with bowthruster, sternthruster and trim tabs make this vessel stable, maneuverable and comfortable.  Flybridge and interior helm stations make for comfortable cruising in all weather and the asymmetrical deck layout, with open side deck to port and covered side deck to starboard with high bulwarks and solid stainless steel life guards, for safe passage from cockpit to bow. 

The interior is light, with 360 degree visibility, thanks to windows all round. The windscreens each have a large wiper to keep them clear in inclement conditions. There is plenty of room to move about in the salon and the accommodations up forward are extremely comfortable, with an enormous owner's cabin, a head and a bunk cabin. The salon also has a very comfortable sleeper couch for two and allows easy flow from the decks to the interior as well as access to the engine compartment via a hinged hatch in the floor.

The single Cummins 425HP diesel engine sips fuel and makes this a really economical vessel to run. On 'The Greatest Loop' it was reported that the vessel used 5 gallons per hour at 11 knots.
