The Beneteau First 36 is where racing performance and cruising comfort truly converge. Designed by a world-class team of naval architects and engineers, this 36-footer is the first yacht of its size to deliver genuine planing performance without sacrificing comfort below deck.
Built light, strong, and fast, the First 36 offers exhilarating speed and handling, whether short-handed, in a club race, or on a coastal passage. Its wide cockpit and efficient deck plan make sailing intuitive and fun, while the spacious, intelligently designed interior transforms every trip into a comfortable escape. Three cabins, a generous saloon, and a functional galley mean the First 36 is as ready for a family cruise as it is for pushing limits on the racecourse.
Key Highlights:
True Planing Hull – Lightweight, modern design for unmatched performance and thrill under sail.
Effortless Handling – Optimized cockpit layout for short-handed or fully crewed sailing.
Spacious Comfort – Three cabins, open saloon, and full galley for extended cruising.
Dual Identity – A high-performance racer and a capable, comfortable cruiser in one.
The Beneteau First 36 isn’t just a sailboat — it’s a new way of experiencing sailing. Fast, fun, and versatile, it redefines what’s possible in a performance cruiser.
