Luxurious and Performant
This lovely sailing yacht, with a remarkable design, is today the natural link between the
First 36 and First 53. It combines performance, elegance and comfort thanks to the quality
of its equipment, which offers unequalled sailing pleasure.
With the new First 44, Beneteau draws to the noblest expression of the term
“racer/cruiser”: an elegant and comfortable yacht that provides unequaled pleasure under
sail. The generous sail plan allows the First 44 to be lively and efficient in all conditions
Interior Design
The First 44 offers a streamlined interior layout that is modern and luminous, with a blend
of white lacquered surfaces and moulded woods.
With three cabins and two bathrooms, the interior is designed with quality finishes and
materials to create a refined atmosphere.
In the saloon, the table seats up to six people and faces the sofa and navigation station; its
position is in relation to the mast facilitates circulation between the galley and the owner's
cabin, enhancing the feeling of space.
Precision from the racecourse, comfort for the open sea
The First 44 takes full benefit of Beneteau's expertise and the knowledge of the best
experts. More requested by their owners, the Firsts are the subject of very advanced
development.
For instance, the engineering was therefore entrusted to the Mer Forte design office, well
known in ocean racing, and which held the same role for the Figaro Bénéteau 3.
