2026 Beneteau First 18 SE

The Beneteau First 18 SE is an 18-foot fiberglass cruiser designed for accessible sailing by a small crew of one to three people. Its cockpit offers ample, uncluttered space, while the sail plan—featuring a furling jib and spinnaker snuffer system—keeps handling straightforward. The mast design omits a backstay, enabling a larger square-top mainsail, and the boom is positioned high for improved comfort and visibility.

The boat accommodates one cabin and operates on electric power, making it well-suited for modern, low-emission cruising. Its 7-foot beam provides a balanced platform for day sailing and short passages.
