Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 vs Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 vs Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 tops out at 425 hp. Engine specs for the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 carries 510 gallons versus 396 gallons in the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 47 2019 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 14 passengers and at 48,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Antares 13.80 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
