Boat available for July 2023.
The First Yacht 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 Yacht 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 Yacht 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.
We would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about build options, viewings and Part-Exchanges. We can also offer competitive finance packages.
