The Beneteau First 50 | High-Performance Luxury Cruiser

Pure Performance. Minimalist Elegance. The Flagship of the First Series.

Experience the pinnacle of Philippe Briand’s naval architecture. The Beneteau First 50 is a rare "Super-Cruiser" that defies the compromise between racing speed and cruising comfort. Designed with a sleek, low-profile aesthetic and a powerful sail plan, this yacht is as much a statement of style as it is a masterclass in sailing dynamics.

Vessel Highlights

  • Designer: Philippe Briand (Exterior & Interior)
  • Hull Design: Sleek, low-profile coachroof with flush decks for an aggressive, modern silhouette.
  • Keel & Rig: Deep torpedo bulb keel (2.8m) and a tall, high-aspect-ratio fractional rig for exceptional upwind pointing.
  • Propulsion: Yanmar 75 HP engine with Sail Drive for smooth, quiet, and balanced handling under power.
  • Innovation: Features a unique retractable anchor system, maintaining a clean bow profile and maximizing racing efficiency.

Performance on Deck

The deck layout is engineered for both the competitive sailor and the shorthanded cruiser.

  • Twin Wheel Configuration: Offers the helmsman superb visibility and a responsive, balanced feel in all sea states.
  • Clean Ergonomics: All control lines are led aft under-deck to the cockpit, keeping the teak side decks clear and safe.
  • Cockpit Comfort: Large, open-transom cockpit that transitions seamlessly from a high-action racing platform to a spacious social area at anchor.

Interior Sophistication

Step into a bright, contemporary sanctuary characterized by light Alpi wood joinery and minimalist design.

  • Owner’s Suite: A forward master cabin featuring a centerline queen berth and a private en-suite head.
  • Gourmet Galley: A T-shaped sea-galley equipped for long-range provisioning without sacrificing style.
  • Natural Light: Abundant ventilation and light provided by flush-mounted deck hatches and signature wrap-around portlights.
