A 2022 Beneteau Grand Trawler 62, built for long-distance cruising, with interiors by Nauta Design.

ABIDE AWHILE is not dressed up as a superyacht. Her appeal is more intelligent: a 2022 Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 built around autonomy, comfort and owner-friendly passagemaking.

Beneteau designed the Grand Trawler 62 around long-distance cruising rather than short-run glamour, combining autonomy with performance via a displacement hull developed by MICAD to improve range and efficiency. Interior and deck design are by Nauta Design, with accommodation for six to eight people plus crew and one of the largest flybridges in the segment.

The raised helm, 1,050-nautical-mile model range, generous flybridge and bright interior volumes form the ownership argument: a yacht for time on board, slow cruising and comfortable passages. This is for buyers who want a recent trawler platform, usable range and family-friendly volume in a format that makes sense.

The shipyard

Beneteau

FROM THE QUAI DES GRENIERS

A boatyard by a bridge in Croix-de-Vie that built fishing boats, then turned their dinghies into a leisure market.

In 1884 Benjamin Bénéteau set up a boatyard by the bridge on the Quai des Greniers in Croix-de-Vie and built sailing fishing boats. In 1909 he designed the region's first engine-powered fishing boat, the Vainqueur des Jaloux. His son André took over in 1928.

The turn came in 1963. André and his son moved to polyester, moulding dinghies for the sardine boats. Those dinghies became the Guppy, Flétan and Ombrine, which opened up the recreational fishing-boat market when they were shown at the Paris Boat Show in January 1965. A first semi-industrial plant followed in 1972. In 1976 the First range began, from the moulds of a Half Ton Cup design, and an American subsidiary opened in Annapolis.

Between 2003 and 2004 Beneteau Shipyards became the Beneteau Group. In 2004 it launched the patented Air Step hull and the Swift Trawler 42, the first of its long-range trawlers. Five years later the group bought the Monfalcone shipyard near Trieste to build larger yachts. The head office moved to a new site at Givrand in 2013. The Figaro Beneteau 3 (2018) was billed as the world's first series-production monohull with foils, and in 2019 motorboat production began in Cadillac, in the United States.

Abide Awhile joins both threads. She is an 18.9-metre Grand Trawler 62 from 2022, built at Monfalcone, with a listed range of 1,050 nautical miles.

THE HULL BENEATH

An Italian engineering office whose displacement hull carries Beneteau's Grand Trawler 62.

The Grand Trawler 62's full-displacement hull took 300 hours of calculations and tank testing. MICAD designed it: an 18.95-metre hull built at Beneteau's plant in Monfalcone, Italy. The company has worked in marine engineering since 2009. Its registered office and headquarters are in Lecce, and its R&D department is in Trieste. Amedeo Migali is its managing director. For Beneteau its credits cover the Gran Turismo 40 and 46, the Swift Trawler 30, the Grand Trawler 62 and 63, and the Monte Carlo 4 and 6. Migali names the Monte Carlo Yacht 105 as the most remarkable project the office has worked on. Abide Awhile is an 18.9-metre Grand Trawler 62 built in 2022 at Beneteau's Monfalcone facility, and she sits on that MICAD-designed displacement hull.
