Hybrid Beneteau Swift Trawler 34

Beneteau's Swift Trawler 34 offers quiet cruising with the Elco hybrid system.

September 3, 2014

This morning, I had the opportunity to take Beneteau’s new Swift Trawler 34 equipped with the Elco hybrid system for a cruise around the Chesapeake Bay. It offered a quiet, fume-free ride and a range of about 18 miles while cruising exclusively under electric power. Check out some photos from our test on Facebook.
