2022 Beneteau First 53

The 2022 Beneteau First 53 is a performance cruiser built around modern hull design, a powerful sail plan, and refined Italian styling. Designed by Biscontini Yacht Design with interior and exterior work by Lorenzo Argento, this boat combines serious offshore capability with day-to-day cruising comfort. The hull carries a blue-grey Awlgrip finish, and the black aluminium performance mast is paired with a comprehensive North Sails 3Di wardrobe including a Code 0, Gennaker, and 90% jib.

The yacht is fitted with a Yanmar 110 HP shaft drive engine, hydraulic sail handling systems (backstay and vang), retractable bow and stern thrusters, and a 7.5 kVA generator. Navigation and deck management rely on a B&G Offshore + Fastnet electronics package with dual 12-inch Zeus3S displays. The performance T-keel draws 3.02 metres.

Interior layout offers three cabins and two heads finished in Alpi Teak throughout. Climate control includes 44,000 BTU air conditioning and diesel heating. A tender garage provides secure storage, and the accommodation runs the full length of the boat with comprehensive equipment for extended offshore sailing.
