The Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007 vs Beneteau Swift Trawler 34S 2011 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007 at 39,3 ft versus Beneteau Swift Trawler 34S 2011 at 36,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007 tips the scales at 15 642 lbs — 14 039 lbs more than the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34S 2011 at 1 603 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34S 2011 has a 385-hp advantage over the Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Swift Trawler 34S 2011 carries 211 gallons versus 58 gallons in the Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

The Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007 uses Fractional Sloop rigging. The Beneteau Cyclades 39.3 2007 has a documented auxiliary engine of 40 hp.
