Step aboard the 2008 Beneteau First 45, a performance cruiser that expertly marries agility with luxury. Her sturdy white GRP hull is designed for those who prioritize both speed and stability. The teak-laid cockpit, coupled with a twin helm featuring composite wheels, ensures a seamless sailing experience, perfectly balancing performance with relaxation. Additionally, her recent 2023 upgrade of through-hull fittings signifies a commitment to maintaining her in top-notch condition.

Powered by the reliable Yanmar 4JH4AE 54hp diesel engine and equipped with a Fischer Pander 800i generator, she promises dependable and self-sufficient cruising. The 2017 Sidepower SR80 bowthruster further amplifies her maneuverability credentials, granting excellent control in tight spaces. The yacht’s Sparcraft Aluminium mast, coupled with up-to-date stainless-steel rod rigging from 2018, Harken winches, fully battened slab-reefed mainsail and roller furling genoa, compounds her reputation as a formidable performance cruiser.

Inside, Beneteau’s signature touch of stye and elegance is evident. The yacht comfortably sleeps six across three double cabins, with the forward master cabin boasting its own ensuite. The welcoming saloon is a haven after a day’s sail, and the adjacent galley is thoughtfully equipped for those at-sea meals. With B&G navigation displays and tools, you’re assured of precise navigation. Safety hasn’t been overlooked either, with the inclusion of a Seago 6-man life raft and an Ocean Signal EPIRB. For those who refuse to compromise on speed or comfort, the Beneteau First 45 awaits.
