Description

Beneteau First 30 – Pure Sailing Pleasure, Reinvented for a New Generation

The Beneteau First 30 marks a bold return to the essence of sailing: lightness, speed, simplicity, and pure connection with the wind. Designed with Seascape DNA and modern performance in mind, this 30-footer breaks away from traditional cruising compromises to deliver a true sailing machine that remains comfortable, practical, and accessible for both passionate racers and weekend adventurers.

At the heart of the First 30 lies a philosophy of efficiency and exhilaration. Powered by a reliable Yanmar 2YM15 14HP diesel engine, the boat combines dependable auxiliary propulsion with a refined sailing platform. Its standard cast iron keel with 1.98m draft provides excellent stability and upwind performance, while the lightweight hull and performance-oriented underwater profile allow the boat to plane easily and accelerate rapidly in fresh breeze. The result is a lively, responsive yacht that feels closer to a high-performance dinghy than a traditional cruiser.

The rig features a modern Aluminium Z-Spars mast and advanced deck layout optimized for balance and control. What truly elevates this configuration is the inclusion of the Weekender Pack, which transforms the First 30 into a versatile sailing platform ideal for day sailing, short cruising, or performance outings. This pack features North Sails Dacron mainsail and furling jib, a fractional furling gennaker with bowsprit, FACNOR FlatDeck furler, GARMIN instrument pack, lazy bag, swim platform, cockpit shower and full mooring kit — all contributing to an exceptional balance of simplicity and sailing capability.

Inside, the First 30 surprises with its intelligently designed layout. The boat features two comfortable cabins and one enclosed head, offering genuine overnight capability for couples or small crews. The interior includes a practical galley with stove and icebox, freshwater plumbing, high-quality upholstery in salon and cabins, and clever storage solutions that maximize usable volume without sacrificing weight efficiency. Magnetic sliding doors in both cabins, soft storage boxes and thoughtfully designed padding enhance comfort without adding unnecessary bulk.

Enhancing onboard autonomy and comfort further are the US Charging Pack (115V), electric water heater and solar pack option, ensuring energy efficiency and modern convenience. The inclusion of a DOMETIC fridge unit, Webasto diesel heater, inverter system and cockpit shower demonstrates that this performance-focused yacht still maintains the essentials for relaxed coastal cruising and extended weekends aboard.

On the technical side, navigation and control are supported by advanced electronics including the GARMIN GPSMAP 923 chartplotter, GARMIN VHF radio and Raymarine ST2000 on-deck autopilot. The optional mast racing displays with dual GNX 120 units provide clear performance data in real time, reinforcing the First 30’s position as a true sailor’s boat for those who cherish trim precision and tactical awareness on the racecourse.

What sets the First 30 apart is its groundbreaking concept of simplicity and efficiency. By reducing unnecessary weight and focusing on essential sailing components, Beneteau has created a boat that delivers exceptional performance per dollar and per meter. The cork cockpit flooring, racing mainsheet system layout and ergonomic cockpit design encourage barefoot comfort while maintaining optimal control.

From a lifestyle perspective, the First 30 is the perfect platform for sailors seeking authentic sensations. Whether slicing through summer chop on a spirited afternoon sail or enjoying a peaceful overnight anchorage, this boat builds an emotional connection with the sea. It is responsive, playful, direct — and incredibly rewarding to helm.

The cost configuration showcased includes comprehensive equipment, freight, commissioning and tariff adjustments, demonstrating a well-balanced offering between price and performance value. The total configuration reflects a thoughtfully equipped vessel built for real sailing, not just dockside presence

.


In essence, the Beneteau First 30 is not merely a boat — it is a statement. A statement that sailing can be fun, fast, intuitive and emotionally engaging without complexity or excess. It redefines what a modern 30-foot yacht should be: light, efficient, dynamic, and deeply connected to the art of sailing.
