In this article, we'll delve into the exquisite features of each vessel, highlighting the charm and performance that make them stand out in the world of sailing.
FIRST 18 SE
Wide, flat and stable hull; ballasted swinging keel; gennaker snuffer system; furling jib and minimised deck controls all enable an easy-to-handle and exciting planing and sailing experience. Being easily trailable and dismantled, she would fulfil racing ambitions in international one-design class as well as adventurous sea-camping.
FIRST 27
First 27 delivers fun and modern downwind planing sailing thanks to modern design and building technologies. Families will go cruising, you'll enjoy a fun and exciting day sailing, and she will win trophies on the club races. Interior of this pocket-cruiser can welcome up to 6 persons and offers separated bow-cabin, open space saloon, galley with freshwater, fridge and separated classic marine toilet.
FIRST 36
You can now experience the thrill of high-performance sailing – not only on the race course, but also on family holidays or day-sailing trips. Beneteau have made this possible through a carefully placed high-tech and meticulously designed deck and interior ergonomics, which is bringing the most important features of grand prix racing boats into the hands of a club racer or active cruiser. First 36 is the first mainstream racer/cruiser where onboard comfort doesn’t affect the experience of high performance sailing.
FIRST 44
This lovely sailing yacht, with a remarkable design, is today the natural link between the First 36 and First 53. It combines performance, elegance and comfort thanks to the quality of its equipment, which offers unequalled sailing pleasure. With the new FIRST 44, BENETEAU draws to the noblest expression of the term “racer/cruiser”: an elegant and comfortable yacht that provides unequaled pleasure under sail. The generous sail plan allows the First 44 to be lively and efficient in all conditions.
OCEANIS 34.1
Sleeker, lighter, with more sail area, and more space in the bow than its predecessor for the owner’s cabin, the Oceanis 34.1 promises unforgettable days out on the water. Once again, Marc Lombard and NAUTA Design have combined their efforts to produce a unique design concept, true to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis range.
OCEANIS 37.1
The new 37 footer capitalizes on the innovations of the seventh generation of Oceanis cruisers, which it completes. The Oceanis 37.1 is the eighth model launched since 2017 and it has all the line’s hallmarks and offers eco-friendly solutions like an optional electric motor or iroko slatted cockpit floor.
OCEANIS 46.1
The Oceanis 46 boasts all the features of a large cruising yacht, with a rare balance between elegance, usable space and performance. Her stepped hull opens up an incredible amount of space inside and yet her seakeeping performance is still impressive. A large number of clever customizable fittings make her easy to sail and pleasantly comfortable.
OCEANIS YACHT 54
The yacht carries the unmistakable DNA of the Oceanis range, a delicate balance of form and function that make her as pretty as she is capable, and as focused as she is versatile, equally ready for a fast ocean passage or a leisurely double-handed sunset cruise. With an emphasis on build quality, high-end materials, and the innovative vision that has always been a staple of the BENETEAU brand, the Oceanis Yacht 54 truly represents the pinnacle of the modern monohull cruising design.
OCEANIS YACHT 60
