Beneteau First 60

The Beneteau First 60 is a flagship performance yacht that pushes the boundaries between high-end cruising comfort and true offshore racing capability. Designed for owners who demand exceptional sailing performance without compromising on luxury, she represents the most powerful expression of the First range, built to deliver speed, control and long-distance confidence in equal measure.

With a lightweight, high-performance hull and advanced sail architecture, the First 60 is engineered for serious offshore passage-making. She accelerates with authority, holds impressive pace across a wide range of conditions and remains remarkably stable even when driven hard. This is a yacht that feels alive under sail, responding instantly to trim and balance while maintaining the composure required for extended blue-water passages.

Below deck, the First 60 offers a truly premium living environment, combining contemporary design with exceptional space and natural light. Large hull windows and overhead glazing create a bright, open atmosphere that enhances every area of the interior. The saloon is designed as a refined central hub, offering comfort, elegance and practicality whether at sea or at anchor, with high-quality materials and finishes throughout.

The galley is built for serious offshore use, offering secure, well-organised preparation areas, generous storage and a layout that remains functional even in challenging conditions. Accommodation is a major strength, with spacious cabins designed to provide genuine comfort for extended time onboard. The owner’s suite in particular delivers impressive volume, privacy and en-suite facilities, elevating life onboard to a genuinely luxury level.

On deck, the First 60 is all about precision, control and effortless handling for a yacht of her size. Wide, safe side decks and a clean, performance-focused cockpit layout make movement onboard secure and intuitive. Twin helm stations provide excellent visibility and direct feedback, while advanced sail handling systems are designed to allow short-handed operation without compromising performance or safety. Every detail is purpose-driven, ensuring the yacht remains manageable even when fully powered up.

At anchor, the cockpit becomes a sophisticated outdoor living space, ideal for entertaining or extended cruising stops. Under sail, she delivers a commanding yet refined experience, combining offshore stability with exhilarating pace in a way that rewards experienced sailors who want both performance and comfort on a grand scale.

As with all yachts in the Beneteau First range, the First 60 can be extensively specified to suit different sailing ambitions, from fast offshore cruising to more performance-oriented setups. This flexibility ensures the yacht can be tailored precisely to the way she will be used, without compromising her core identity as a high-performance flagship.
