2026 Beneteau First 30

The First 30 is a new planning cruiser from Beneteau, designed as a lightweight performance sailing yacht. At 33.89 feet with a 9.68-foot beam, the hull weighs just 3,150 kilograms and is constructed from fiberglass. Power comes from a single Yanmar diesel engine rated at 14 horsepower. The design emphasizes responsive handling and smooth performance at speed, with a hull form engineered to minimize friction and deliver dynamic sailing characteristics.

The boat accommodates up to six people across a practical interior layout. There are two cabins and one head, providing comfortable cruising accommodation in a compact footprint. The design prioritizes ease of handling, allowing the yacht to be managed effectively by a reduced crew.

The First 30 is available in both cruising and racing versions, offering flexibility based on intended use. This is a new build scheduled to leave the shipyard in October 2026.
