She has been sailing🔥

The BENETEAU FIRST 60. The largest First ever built.
Designed by Biscontini Yacht Design. Exterior and interior by Lorenzo Argento.

Timeless lines. Precision at the helm. Satisfaction of fine-tuning every detail.
She unites performance, elegance and simplicity, made to let you and your crew savour joy, second after second.

She will be at Cannes. September 8–13.
So will the FIRST 36 SE.

If the sea calls you — she is ready!

Different rides. SAME JOY!

Do you feel it?
The wind. The speed. The acceleration.
That smile you just can’t hide.

Same feeling. The same JOY.

🏆FIRST 44
Lake Michigan. 285 NM. One of North America's premier offshore races.

🏆Robert Arzbaecher has built a career on performance, professionalism, and looking out for fellow sailors on the water. Mid July, his BENETEAU FIRST 44 Sociable added another chapter — winning the Whitehawk Trophy as overall winner of the Cruising Division at the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac🙌

Smart tactics. Consistent speed. Flawless preparation.

That is what it takes. That is what the First 44 does.

Congratulations to Robert and the Sociable crew; you guys rocked. 🏆🌊

First 36 SE is our ultimate sailing machine. ⛵️

Charly and Fred have probably put more racing miles on this boat than anyone else — which is pretty spectacular!
