2025 Beneteau First 36

The Beneteau First 36 brings together four decades of the First line's approach to balancing performance with practicality. This fiberglass hull design planes readily in moderate wind, delivering responsive sailing characteristics without sacrificing the comfort and usability expected in a modern cruising yacht.

The boat accommodates three cabins and one head, arranged to maximize livable space across the 36-foot length and 12.5-foot beam. A single Yanmar diesel engine of 29 horsepower provides auxiliary power for maneuvering and calm conditions.

Built with high-tech construction methods, the First 36 maintains the design philosophy that has defined the range: a blend of elegant design, solid build quality, and reasonable value that appeals equally to performance-focused sailors and those seeking a capable cruising platform.
