FIRST & FIRST SE

With over four decades of iconic heritage, the FIRST range has embodied the perfect blend of performance and cruising since its inception in 1977. Designed for sailors who appreciate the thrill of club racing and the comfort of coastal cruising, these yachts have consistently delivered the best of both worlds.

Today, BENETEAU advances this legacy with the new generation of FIRST and FIRST SE (Seascape Edition) models. These modern designs emphasize simplicity, agility, and exhilarating performance—while offering thoughtfully crafted interiors and cockpits ideal for day sailing and short-term cruising. Renewing the brand’s competitive spirit, the updated range meets the evolving expectations of today’s sailors with versatility, elegance, and pure sailing pleasure at their core.
