Beneteau First 53 Boat available for Summer 2024!
The First 53 epitomises power and elegance in a mix of classic and modern lines. From her straight slender bow to her 5-metre maximum beam carried aft to her transom she is a head turning yacht. The cockpit has been ergonomically designed to ensure nothing can obstruct forward movement and ease of sailing. With a flush deck, low coach-roof and a sleek modern look, she has all the virtues of a thoroughbred. The First 53 utilises high-end mast and deck gear to provide a powerful sail plan that can still be easily controlled by a shorthanded crew.
The First 53 is the culmination of over 40 years of development by Beneteau of its performance cruiser and race boats. With sights set on high-performance cruising and more, this “luxury performance” sailing yacht was created for demanding sailors and decerning owners.
