The Beneteau First 36SE isn’t just a sailboat — it’s a purebred performance machine built for sailors who demand both speed and sophistication. As the “Special Edition” of the celebrated First 36, the 36SE blends cutting-edge design, lightweight construction, and a race-ready spirit with the comfort and versatility that have made Beneteau the world leader in sailing.
Pure Performance Engineering
Every line, surface, and component of the First 36SE is optimized for speed. With advanced composite construction, a powerful sail plan, and a meticulously balanced hull, this yacht delivers exhilarating performance across all conditions. Expect responsiveness at the helm, agility in maneuvers, and race-course level acceleration — whether you’re pushing for podiums or chasing the horizon.
Race-Ready, Cruising-Comfortable
The 36SE doesn’t force a choice between offshore competition and weekend escapes. Its deck layout, carbon rig, and premium hardware package are built for serious sailors, while the intelligently designed interior offers the comfort and practicality you need for longer voyages. Four double berths, a bright saloon, and thoughtful storage solutions make this boat as livable as it is competitive.
Design That Inspires
Created by the world-class naval architecture team at Sam Manuard and refined by Beneteau’s expert craftsmen, the First 36SE embodies modern elegance with purposeful performance. Sleek hull lines, a minimalist cockpit, and high-end finishes give it a bold, unmistakable identity on the water and at the dock.
