2026 Beneteau First 24

The Beneteau First 24 is a 24-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed to balance racing performance with cruising capability. The boat accommodates up to four in sleeping berths and can carry six for coastal cruising or eight on day trips. Powered by a single diesel engine, it combines a lightweight, stable hull with modern performance design.

The retractable keel provides shallow-water access and allows the boat to be launched and retrieved from a standard ramp, making it well-suited for varied cruising grounds. The rig features a classic backstay with dacron sails, offering straightforward handling and accessibility for sailors of all experience levels. Whether rigged for racing with a crew of four or used as a day-sailor or holiday cruiser, the First 24 delivers practical versatility in a compact, transportable package.
