About Swift Trawler 48

The Bénéteau Swift Trawler 48 is a proper little ship: 15 m long, with a flybridge high above the water, a bright saloon with big windows, three cabins and wide side decks that make moving around easy. Trawler yachts are built for stability and comfort rather than outright speed, which makes this one of the most relaxing ways to see the western Algarve, especially for families and guests who are less used to being at sea.

With room for up to twelve, she works beautifully for multi-generation families, friends travelling together and small corporate or golf groups. The flybridge is the best seat on the boat for spotting dolphins, which are often seen off this coast. From Portimão Marina, a 3 h 30 charter can follow the cliffs east past Praia da Rocha and Carvoeiro towards Benagil – yachts remain outside the protected cave – or explore the quieter coves towards Alvor. The 2 h 30 sunset cruise from the flybridge is memorable, and a 7-hour full day leaves time for long lunch stops at anchor.

The skipper, fuel, insurance, sparkling, white and rosé wine, beer, soft drinks, juices, water and snacks are included, as are towels, snorkels and a paddleboard. Prices are per yacht. Once we confirm availability, you pay a 20% deposit through a secure link. Browse other boats on our Portimão yacht charter page.
