from 100.000 € (VAT excl.)The Exciting New Planing Cruiser - Updating a legacy
January 2025 is set to be a pivotal moment in the long history of the BENETEAU First sailing yacht with the launch of the new First 30, the goal of which is to create a new category: the planing cruiser.
Designed around the needs of today’s sailors, it is quick and easy to get planing, yet astonishingly easy to handle even when sailing at double-digit speeds.
With low loads, a simple rig and an uncluttered cockpit, it doesn’t need a large crew or intense training sessions to make it fun and safe to sail in all conditions - both shorthanded and as a family.
The modern successor to the legendary 1977 First 30 offers an unparalleled package of exhilarating speed, easy handling and cruising comfort at an extremely competitive price.
Below the deck, a distinctive, puristic, yet cosy interior creates spacious accommodation for four in two cabins, sufficient for a week’s cruising.
The First 30 offers a comfortable saloon with 1.85 m headroom, a proper, functional galley with gimballed stove and fridge, a marine head, an above standard sized front cabin and an aft cabin with removable storage elements.
The interior design combines sustainable materials, such as cork flooring, innovative solutions like magnetic doors or smart storage solutions, and ambient lighting for a cosy feeling.
High performance chill-out area
The deck and cockpit layout has been designed to reduce clutter and to create a big and comfortable chill-out area while still providing outstanding sailing ergonomics. There are two deck layout options available: one for day sailors and cruisers and one for racers.
