The New Beneteau Swift Trawler 48 - Built to Seek New Horizons

T

he new Swift Trawler 48 advances the BENETEAU Range of practical and seaworthy passagemakers. The Andreani design focuses on easy living and circulation that builds on the wealth of Beneteau Trawler DNA and customer feedback. The Swift Trawler 48 is 48’4” long overall with a beam of 14’9” and is now positioned as the largest Swift Trawler in the Range only surpassed by the Grand Trawler as the flagship of the BENETEAU trawler range. This full range of models from 35’ to 62’ are designed and built to explore new horizons. Their seaworthiness, incredible living spaces and comfort have generated a following of 1300+ new builds and hundreds of additional owners in a community of long distance boaters worldwide. The new Swift Trawler 48 has the size, space and capability to continue the journey of seasoned cruisers and aspiring cruisers alike.

YOUR HOME ON THE WATER – GREAT CABINS AND WELL APPOINTED BATHROOMS. In the lower accommodation, entering into the forward master cabin reveals a comfortable double berth with room on both sides of the bed for movement.

With headroom of 6’6” and a bed length of 6’6” there is plenty of room for larger

occupants. There are overhead lockers & wardrobes, large hull windows with inset portlights & an overhead hatch which floods the cabin with natural light and cross ventilation.

The en-suite bathroom includes a separate shower compartment with a teak slatted seat. The port guest cabin benefits from a large hull window with inset portlight, stowage, wardrobe and two single berths with an infill to convert to a double berth. Note this cabin also features an en-suite door to the portside day head – in which you will also find a separate shower compartment with teak slatted seat. The starboard guest cabin features two portlights, a transverse double berth and a double door wardrobe that is large enough to place an optional washer/dryer in the base.

Personalization of your Swift Trawler 48 is possible with numerous interior and exterior variations. The standard interior wood is in finished in our Alpi Teak stain with an optional Oak finish for a lighter atmosphere. Additional upgrades to the interior finishes are available for the sideboard doors, and owner & port cabin wardrobe doors with wood or crème slatted doors with inset panels. Further interior personalization is possible with a selection of fabric choices for the wheelhouse u-shaped seating near the

helm. Exterior fabrics are available in our standard Marlin white marine vinyl or upgraded Dolce 51.

The Swift Trawler 48 is provisioned to sleep 6 passengers, with three cabins in the lower accommodation and additional capacity with an easy-to-convert salon dinette with wrap around privacy curtains as standard equipment.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME ON THE WATER. Here at BENETEAU we are very pleased to bring this great addition to the BENETEAU Trawler range and to the market.

The new Swift Trawler 48 with Cummins 380hp engines will have her world premiere at the 2022 Dusseldorf Boat Show in January. The second boat with Cummins 425hp engines will be at the Miami Boat Show the following month.

MarineMax Vacations Makes Donation to Virgin Islands Search and Rescue

C

LEARWATER, FL (December 20,2021) – MarineMax Vacations is excited to share their opportunity to support Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR). For years VISAR has made it a mission to keep everyone safe at sea. Search and rescue can be a dangerous and challenging task that requires much dedication.

They are a hardworking organization with welltrained volunteers that work tirelessly to protect the islands.

In 1988 the British Virgin Islands Government requested a group of people organize an informal search and rescue service that would create an “autonomous, para-professional, dedicated volunteer maritime search and rescue to be run as a Non-Profit Organization.” Since then, VISAR has become the official search and rescue service in the British Virgin Islands. They are making sure to provide 24-hour coverage every day of the year.

Raul Bermudez, Vice President of MarineMax Vacations, comments, “Our donation to VISAR will never be enough to thank them for their continued dedication and efforts. We are fortunate to be able to support this organization and their volunteers for keeping everyone, including our customers, safe at sea.”

VISAR’s two base stations located in Road Reef Marina, Tortola, and the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, house fully outfitted rescue vessels

Pictured: Raul Bermudez - Vice President of MarineMax Vacations Clarence Malone - BVI GM Phil Aspinall - VISAR Operations Manager

MarineMax Vacations is thankful to have a longstanding relationship with VISAR and donates annually to this brave and dedicated organization.

In Norway specifically, new government regulation coming into force from 2026 will make zero emissions mandatory in the world-heritage sites of Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord. “This will mean the end of polluting cruise ships sailing in what will be the world’s first zero-emission marine zones.

“Northern Xplorer will provide opportunities to travel ‘off the beaten track’, connecting passengers with unique locations in the Nordic countries in a personal way,” says company founder and CEO Rolf André Sandvik.

“Low-impact discovery travel in smaller vessels is infinitely preferable to overcrowded ships and marquee destinations teeming with tourists. Somewhere between ocean and river cruising, it’s for those who want a more intimate on-board experience, to get insights into a new culture up close, and leave with the feeling their holidays have contributed positively to local communities and the planet,” says Sandvik.

NX’s offering is disruptive to the mass tourism mainstream by visiting harbours that large ships cannot access, with attention to detail in service and bespoke excursions that will make every journey special. “As a company we will be part of the local fabric offering compelling activities that support local employment and innovation. We will perform strict due diligence of sub-suppliers to ensure our green philosophy spans the value chain, while also facilitating scientific research and marine conservation,” says Sandvik.

Cruises. For several years he was also VP Destination Development. Latterly he founded travel company The Fjords, based in Flåm in western Norway, where as CEO he ushered in a new era of environmentally friendly sightseeing, commissioning the hybrid electric vessels Vision of the Fjords (built 2016) and Future of the Fjords (built 2018). Each vessel can accommodate up to 400 passengers on noiseless, pollution-free journeys in the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. Constructed by specialist Norwegian shipbuilder Brødrene Aa, both vessels won the ‘Ship of the Year’ award during maritime trade fair SMM in Hamburg in their respective delivery years.

“NX represents the next step of my own journey to green the waterborne tourist industry. We want to ‘walk the talk’ on green maritime innovation. Scaling up what we seeded at The Fjords to sustainable cruising on brand-new vessels compliant with the strictest global regulations is, I believe, the best way to show discerning visitors the amazing nature and breadth of culture we have up here in Northern Europe,” Sandvik says.

Catching-Up with Molly’s Marine Service

O

n May 9th of 2022, Molly’s Marine Service is looking forward to celebrating 13 successful years in the Marine Service Industry in Collier County.

For those of you who don’t know, Molly’s Marine Service is located in downtown Old Naples, on the west side of the Naples bay, nestled into the specifically designed boatyard directly in the center of the Naples Boat Club.

For those of you who do know, you are also aware of the lawsuit that has dominated our world for the last 4 years.

Naples Boat Club is primarily a conglomerate of marine businesses, i.e. dry stack storage, Ship’s Store, Boat Repairs, Boat Sales, etc., designed to offer the Public access to the waterfront and marine related services needed to support public boating activities. We offer haul out and launch, bottom painting, running gear and assorted mechanical repairs and services. A minimal number of residential condominium units were added to the mix with the intention of drawing in people interested in the boating community and lifestyle.

the distinct possibility of changing the picture of boating in the Naples community well into the future. If the residential plaintiffs are successful in the lawsuit to shutdown Molly’s Marine Service, Naples will lose one of the last two local boatyards left offering deep water access and haul out capabilities in Southwest Florida.

(More on the lawsuit can be found on our website at: MollysMarineService. com) The trial regarding this matter is scheduled to be heard in the Collier County Courthouse at the end of January or beginning of February, 2022. The exact trial date is pending; I will let the public know when the trial will be taking place. I want to thank so many of you that have stood with Molly’s over the years and supported us through this legal battle. We are coming close to the end and with your support and prayers, we will reign victorious and continue to support the boating community of Naples and

I was raised in the boating business my entire working life. I was taught to take pride and believe in whatever it is I do. I was also taught to leave things better than I found them.

These are principles that I take very seriously and I hope that people who really know me, know how seriously I take this responsibility. I am not only a business owner, I am a member of this community and I have worked diligently to improve the quality of boating in the Naples Community.

Hopefully, there will be many more successful years ahead for Molly’s Marine Service!

Thank you all for your support and God Bless America!

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2021 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE? THEN ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE We understand BUSY. The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron teaches a large number of classes. They are regularly scheduled throughout the year. Sometimes your schedule and our schedule do not match.

Rather than have you miss a class offering we will schedule and teach any of the classes listed below whenever five (5) or more students make a request for a class. To make a class request, please call 321-220-7776 or email hofmanneg@juno.com for more information or to request a class. LIST OF COURSES: BASIC BOATING: America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition.

ELECTIVE: Cruising and Cruise Planning (C and CP), Engine Maintenance (EM), Marine Electrical Systems (MES), Marine Communication Systems (MCS), Sail (Sa) 2009, Weather (Wx) 2012.

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

Boating skills and Seamanship Programs ae presented by the USCG Auxiliary, Flotilla 72 each Tuesday night, 7:30-9:30 pm, 1300 Beach Drive, SE, St. Petersburg. Call 727898-1324 for information or to go http:// flotilla72registration.info to pre-register.

Completion satisfies the state of Florida boater safety education requirement.

FLORIDA BOATER’S ID CARD - Don’t forget that “Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to either have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating education course or have passed a course equivalency or temporary certificate examination and have in their possession a boating education ID card and

a photo identification card before operating a vessel with a motor of 10 HP or more in Florida.” Identification cards for persons completing the course or the equivalency exam are good for a lifetime. Temporary Certificate exams are made available to the public through contractors. The temporary certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date. Boating Skills and Seamanship Programs are presented by the U.S.C.G. Auxiliary, Flotilla 72 each Tuesday night, 7:309:30pm, 1300 Beach Dr. SE, St. Petersburg.

With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And

they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic.

Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida.

In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail.com or call 727469-8895.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Sergio Atanes Winter Snook The old myth that snook shut down during cold weather holds true when the water temperature drops down below 65 degrees. Capt.

Eddie Caldwell, a good friend and part of the Reelfishy.com group has a technique on how to catch them during the cold months.

Capt. Eddie invited me along to go after some big winter snook using his technique, and before he could finish his invitation, I asked him when and where. I suggested we bring along the camera crew and film it for a TV show. We set a time and place, agreeing not to show any of his favorite fishing spots.

Saturday morning arrived and the winds were blowing from the northwest with temperatures in the mid 60’s and dropping as the cold front approached. Capt. Eddie explained that his technique works best with a falling tide and the water temperature no lower than 60 degrees.

His method is to troll canals using one of favorite snook lures, the YO-ZURI C-7, a small but killer lure for snook and trout. We picked a black back and silver sided one, tied to 30-pound

test leader about 30 inches long.

We used a 7-foot medium action spinning rod and reel combination.

A short trip from the boat ramp and we were ready to fish. As we entered the first canal, we cast the lures about 25 feet behind the boat and held the rod outward and down as if they were outriggers.

The secret is to keep the tip of the rods down and away from the boat and watch the tips of the rods for movement from the lure. YO-ZURI lures have a wobbly movement and in some cases the lure can pick up some bottom trash and will stop the wobbling or come to the surface.

By trolling slowly through the center of the canal the chance of catching snook will increase for two reasons.

The bottom of the canals is muddy and hold water temperature higher than surrounding waters, causing the snook to move into deeper water and second, as the tide drops, they are forced away from the docks and down toward the center of the canal.

After a few minutes of trolling, our first hit was a small 8pound snook, and as we made our turn into the next canal, I had a hard tug.

For a minute I thought I had struck bottom, but the bottom moved, and

with Captain Dylan Hubbard Inshore Fishing Report Redfish have been very active this past week prior to the big front we saw a lot of fish moving around the area and feeding actively. Mangrove shorelines, grass flats, oyster bars, and residential dock lines were all productive areas for the redfish. We even saw some nice fish around the passes around bridge lights and dock lights at night cruising the bottom. Lots of mullet moving right now has the redfish moving with the schools looking for baits spooked out of the grass behind the mullet schools. Cut mullet, threadfin or pinfish are great dead bait options around those schools or docks.

Live shrimp is also a great option for redfish or slow-moving soft plastics on or near the bottom.

Snook action seemed to have picked up over the weekend and then dialed back slowly as the front pushed into the area.

We are hoping that will pick up with this little warm spell we are having. Should bring more snook feeding actively back to the passes as the bait moves around. We have seen some solid snook around bridge lights and dock lights and the long warm spell we had prior to this recent front had a big push of snook feeding actively in the passes and likely we will see that again this week. On the flats, we are seeing them be more leader shy and picky with the clear waters, but you can get them to chew at the right tides when that water is moving well.

22

Trout action has been tougher, few big ones caught, but over all we are seeing smaller fish and not huge concentrations like we normally would this time of year.

However, its still early and hopefully we will see this trout proliferation if we ever get some solid cool water temps that hangout in the bay. Live shrimp and soft plastics have been key for the trout bite that we have seen recently.

Sheepshead are thick around the area at docks, bridges, piers, and some jetties.

Really seeing decent concentrations of sheepshead despite the warmer waters.

Lighter tackle, small hooks, minimal weights and a small piece of shrimp, clams, oysters, or a fiddler crab is the best option. However, we are seeing some even biting soft plastics as anglers work dock lines for snook and redfish.

Surprisingly the mackerel seem to persist around the bay still too, they have gone in and out a bit with warming and cooling waters. However, this last warm spell spread them out and we saw them on those deeper flats and around the edges and passes. As always faster moving baits, live white bait or sometimes live shrimp worked well to get them chewing.

Nearshore Fishing Report Lane snapper finally re opened in federal waters along our near shore waters starting the 23rd. Little early Christmas present for those fishing near shore where lane snapper are plentiful starting around 40-

THE Florida MARINER #949 / 2 January 2022

West Central Florida Southwest Coast I realized this was a very large snook. Capt. Eddie took the motor out of gear and suggested I put a little more pull into catching this large snook or take the chance of losing him as he made a dash for the nearest dock. Shortly afterward, I had him at the side of the boat, ready to give up the fight.

We were back at the dock by noon not only with the largest snook weighing in at 17 pounds, but also in time to watch the football game.

That day Capt. Eddie made me a believer in trolling for snook.

West Central Florida 50ft up to 100-110ft and sometimes even inside and outside the range too. We are pumped to be able to keep these great eating fish again that many picture as bycatch, but man does it get felt when one of the staple bycatch species is closed.

We are just a few days away from red grouper re opening near shore, but for now we get to focus on the last few days of gag grouper season. So often people get so focused on gags and then when they close, they stop fishing because ‘grouper aren’t open’ well there’s scamp, red grouper, and strawberry grouper to catch after January first! For now, the gag bite has been a little soft on the backside of that long stretch of calm clear conditions stopped the big influx of gags from the offshore waters near shore. However, this recent front we are hoping got those fish moving again to refresh the near shore waters with some fish for our last stretch of gag grouper harvest. Look for them around those ledges, rock piles, and hard bottom structures starting around 40-60ft up to the deepest offshore waters. Live pinfish, dead threadfins, squirrelfish and a variety of baits have worked to help us target these gag grouper.

with Captain Tom Van Horn First, let wish all of you a very happy and prosperous new year. For me, 2021 was both challenging and rewarding for me. In October I retired from guiding after 25 years helping anglers catch fish, worked the summer at the Katmai Lodge in Alaska, and spent quality time with friends and family. Although I have retired from professional angling, I plan on continuing my monthly forecast and assisting and teaching anglers to be move successful and responsible on the water.

Winter has arrived with shorter periods of daylight and falling water temperatures on the Indian River Lagoon system and other Florida waters. These conditions present anglers with the best sight fishing experienced all year.

With less algae in the water and low water levels on the flats, sight fishing conditions greatly improve in January,

but a stealthy presentation and long cast are critical to entice spooky fish. As the sun warms the water, target shallow sandbars where both redfish and sea trout lay seeking the warmth of the sun’s reflection on sand.

On colder days, target deeper locations where the water is a few degrees warmer and slow down your presentation. Lastly, fish metabolism slows as the water cools, so smaller baits and a very slow retrieval will increase your success in getting strikes.

On warmer days when the flats heat up, the feeding and tailing activity of redfish and black drum improves because the shallow water warms up faster.

Another very important part of the equation is to match the hatch. When targeting redfish, black drum, and sea trout during the colder months, I like to downsize my bait, slow down my presentation, and fish with a shrimp or

with Captain Chris Johnson Marathon’s wintertime fish visitors have arrived in force so, whether you’re looking to fill the freezer or you’re after a trophy for the wall, now is your time.

Sailfish season got off to a great start in November and December.

We anticipate it will continue quite good on the reef, especially with the bumper crop of ballyhoo available for them to feed on. Up and down the reef, chasing sailfish that are spraying ballyhoo is common practice during January for guys in the know.

As saifishing is sight-fishing at its finest, a boat with a tower of some sort offers the best vantage for spotting fish. No tower? Try heading off the reef edge to the 100- to 150-foot depths and putting out a spread of four to six live ballyhoo while drifting a c o l o r change, current break or weed line. The live ballyhoo should attract the sailfish and lure them to your boat. No sailfish has ever passed up a live ballyhoo in the danger zone.

Central Florida crab imitation bait like the D.O.A. Shrimp or Crab.

In freshwater on the St Johns River – As the water temperature cools, both speckle perch (crappie) and American shad will move out of the lakes into the creeks and shallow river flats to spawn. Crappie typically spawns along the shallow edges around structure during the full and new moon periods and once located will present anglers with limits in no time at all. American shad will stage in the deeper corners of the river and move up on the sandy shoals to spawn when the water temperatures and conditions are right. Try slow trolling plastic crappie jig and lures like the Road Runner tipped with a minnow until you locate fish, and then concentrate your efforts matching the same techniques, depth, and area to improve your success.

Among the sails, you may also encounter large blackfin tuna in the 15- to 20-pound class. On occasion, dolphin, wahoo and king mackerel are roaming the same areas.

On the Atlantic wrecks, expect mutton snappers and amberjacks.

Live ballyhoo is your prime bait, but pilchards or pinfish will also work.

On the main reef, the yellowtail snapper action can be hit or miss this time of year, depending on the weather patterns. The more frequent the cold fronts occur, the less likely the yellowtails are to cooperate. Should you luck out with a four- or five-day period of stable weather, drop everything and head straight for your favorite yellowtail spot.

The SeaSquared crews tend to fish for yellowtails in the shallower reef areas in 30 to 50 feet of water. Standard size blocks of chum are all you need, as a smaller amount of food is required to hold their attention during the winter.

These areas also contain plenty of king and cero mackerel, so prepare to fire up your smoker. Live ballyhoo or live pilchards will draw their interest.

You’ll find more consistent snapper action around the humps in Hawk Channel. Fresh shrimp and live pilchards are your baits of choice.

Fish them on a jighead on the bottom for the best results.

There’s no telling what you may catch when that shrimp hits the bottom. Snappers, groupers, cobias, porgies, hogfish (which also must be released as that season is closed as well) plus Spanish, cero and king mackerel.

In the bayside waters, mangrove snappers and Spanish mackerel hang on the inshore wrecks and banks. Further out, you’ll find cobias, Goliath groupers, blacktip sharks and more, all responding to your efforts.
