Your NEW BENATEAU FIRST 53 on the water for the 2026 sailing season!
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, she is a head turning yacht.
The ergonomically designed cockpit ensures nothing can obstruct forward movement and ease of sailing. 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.
A culmination of over 40 years of development by Beneteau of its performance cruiser and race boats. With sights set on high-performance cruising, this “luxury performance” sailing yacht was created for demanding sailors and decerning owners. With incredible cruising additions such as a tender garage, luxurious interior finishes and comfortable cockpit and saloon seating.
There is the opportunity for an immediate delivery, please contact us for details of the great specification of this available boat.
We can also discuss forward order availability and build options, opportunities to get onboard and part-exchanges. We can also offer competitive finance packages. If you are interested in more information please don't hesitate to contact the Ancasta Swanwick office.
