The successor of the Grand Trawler 62 will be the largest of Beneteau’s world premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.
Beneteau has launched its Grand Trawler 63, the French builder’s new flagship motoryacht and successor to the Grand Trawler 62, of which 27 yachts have been delivered. The Grand Trawler 63 will have its world premiere in Vieux Port at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival from September 9-14.
Just under 19m in length and built at Groupe Beneteau’s Monfalcone shipyard in Italy, the Grand Trawler 63 is an evolution of the 62. The new model retains the MICAD-designed full-displacement hull, known for its exceptional fuel efficiency and offering a range up to 900nm at nine knots with a 10 per cent fuel reserve.
As part of Beneteau’s “uncompromising pursuit of tranquillity” on the Grand Trawler 63, the yacht features enhanced soundproofing in the crew quarters, lazarette and engine room, while Sleipner fin stabilisers deliver stability, both underway and at anchor.
The Sleipner fins are included as standard as part of the base package, along with the Luxe Pack, AGM service batteries, and a MAN spares box. Options include a new Silent Boat Pack that significantly reduces ambient noise.
A redrawn helm station takes cues from the Swift Trawler 54, with floating MFD screens that improve both form and function. The transition from hydraulic to Xenta electric steering allows for a more responsive helm in both calm and rough seas.
The lower deck includes three or four spacious cabins, all with refined bathrooms featuring upgraded tapware and mirrored finishes. The yacht also features enhanced storage and slatted wardrobe latches, while options including a Texan-style barbecue, a black, modular flybridge, and a new convertible coffee table with removable cushion.
“With the launch of the Grand Trawler 63, Beneteau sets a new benchmark in long-distance luxury cruising. Building on the proven success of the Grand Trawler 62, Beneteau saw not just an opportunity to improve but a responsibility to elevate the experience even further,” Beneteau stated.
“Owners today expect more than comfort and range. They seek serenity, precision and craftsmanship that responds intuitively to their way of living at sea. The Grand Trawler 63 introduces a suite of innovations and aesthetic refinements that together redefine the elegant way of extended cruising.”
