DESIGN

A legend reborn, the all-new First 30 represents the next chapter in BENETEAU’s iconic First range. Designed to redefine modern small-boat sailing, it blends performance, comfort, and simplicity, appealing to seasoned sailors and newcomers alike. Two deck layouts—day sailing and racing—allow for seamless transitions between leisure and competition, ensuring versatility without compromise.

EXTERIOR

The exterior focuses on maximising comfort and usability, with an uncluttered cockpit that offers generous seating, backrests, and ergonomic controls. Two layout options—one for cruisers and another for racers—tailor the experience to your needs. In the cruising version, oversized winches ensure easy sail handling, while the racing version adds advanced controls for precise sail adjustments, ideal for competitive sailors.

INTERIOR

The First 30 offers everything you need – and nothing you don’t. With 1.85 m (6.1 ft) headroom, a comfortable saloon, a functional galley featuring a gimballed stove and fridge, and smart storage solutions, it provides comfort and practicality. Sustainable materials like cork flooring and magnetic doors are paired with ambient lighting for a cosy feel. The optional 'premium pack' further elevates style and function with high-quality upholstery, a saloon backrest, and customisable interior colours.

PERFORMANCE

The newest addition to the First fleet is designed for outstanding performance with ease of use. Quick to plane, the First 30 delivers exhilarating double-digit speeds with minimal effort. Its simple rig and lightweight loads make it easy to handle with a small crew or even shorthanded. Whether cruising with family or chasing the wind on race day, the First 30 offers fun and safety in all conditions.
