2024 Beneteau First 44

The Beneteau First 44 combines sleek lines with meticulously designed cockpit ergonomics. The hull features powerful, balanced hydrodynamics across all points of sail, shaped by Roberto Biscontini—designer for America's Cup—along with a welcoming cockpit and simplified controls. The boat draws on 45 years of the builder's racing heritage, available in both a race version with carbon mast and ballast, and a fast-cruising variant.

This is the fast-cruising version. Interior design by Lorenzo Argento features refined materials and finishes, with lacquered details and quality upholstery creating a warm, modern minimal-chic atmosphere. The three-cabin layout includes two heads and accommodates comfortable cruising while delivering strong performance under sail.

The boat is powered by a single Yanmar diesel of 42.5 horsepower, offering a cruising speed of 7 knots and maximum speed of 8 knots. At 48 feet in length with a 14-foot beam, the yacht delivers both seaworthiness and practicality for extended voyages.
