Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 vs Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 vs Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 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 Gran Turismo 46 2020 carries a rated maximum of 435 hp. Engine data for the Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 carries 1 057 gallons versus 238 gallons in the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020. 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 52 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 caps at 14. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Swift Trawler 52 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 55,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 14 that costs less to run day-to-day.
