Beneteau First 30

Beneteau First 30 (Model 2026): The Grand Return of the Icon at Fil de l'Étrave

The Beneteau First 30 marks the great comeback of a sailing myth. More than just a 30-foot yacht, it is a true statement of intent: to revive the appeal of accessible performance, pure helm pleasure, and fast cruising, both with family and crew.

Available at Fil de l'Étrave in Hyeres, this new 2026 model is a modern, powerful, and versatile platform, the result of ambitious naval architecture work. Imagine yourself at the helm of a sailing yacht combining the agility of a racing thoroughbred with the comfort of a modern cruiser.

Architecture & Planning: A Revolutionary Planing Cruiser
The First 30 is built on a distinct chine hull with optimized forward volume. Designed by architect Samuel Manuard, this wide stern hull facilitates planing entry while maintaining stability and precise control in gusts.

A powerful hull inspired by offshore racing
“A yacht that planes but remains accessible to a small crew,” is the DNA of this new cruiser by Beneteau.

While planing navigation was once reserved for experts, the new First 30 changes the game:

Top speed: Capable of reaching and exceeding 15 knots.

Record lightness: An optimized weight of around 3 tons for immediate takeoff.

Hydrodynamics: A slightly rounded stern to reduce drag and facilitate "takeoff."

With this new addition to the First range, you are no longer just floating: you glide, you surf. Guaranteed sensations between Porquerolles and the Islands of Gold.

A Central Deck Plan Focused on Efficiency and Modularity
The large, ergonomic cockpit is designed for race efficiency without sacrificing the comfort of family sailing.

Ergonomic helm station: Direct access to all sheets and adjustments for solo or double-handed sailing made easy.

Modern rigging: A generous and balanced sail plan to maintain power even in the Mediterranean breezes.

High-performance fittings: Large standard winches.

Race Version: Optional with a mast track and refined technical equipment for enthusiasts of fine-tuning.

Interior Spaces: The Marriage of Comfort and First Spirit
The First 30 does not sacrifice well-being for speed. The interior layout is sober, contemporary, and extremely bright.

Capacity: 2 double cabins (bow and stern) accommodating 4 to 6 people.

Volume: Approximately 1.85 m headroom in the salon.

Functional galley: Equipped with a stove, refrigerator, and optimized storage.

Premium Finish: Magnetic doors, LED backlighting, and fine wood finishes.

Race Tip: The aft cabin instantly transforms into sail storage space.
