Official dealers for the full product range of new Beneteau & Wellcraft boats.
The Beneteau First 18 SE is a modern and exciting introduction to keelboat sailing, designed to combine performance, simplicity, and adventure. With its wide, flat, and stable hull, the boat delivers fast and responsive handling while remaining forgiving and easy to control. Its ballasted swinging keel provides stability under sail while also allowing the draft to be reduced for shallow waters, easy launching, and trailering.
Fox’s Yacht Sales are delighted to offer this pocket rocket as a turn key package, available from Fox's Marina with a full commissioning package and extensive handover. This base boat comes with a saving of almost £2,000 on the RRP. We are able to offer good options for the right outboard and trailer, so please get in touch today for more information. NB- stock photographs.
