Description

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 cruising
