Beneteau First 45

She is as unashamedly beautiful and as daringly perfect as her elder sister the First 50. She has sleek elegant lines and a low coachroof.  The First 45 is a stylish yacht whose power and performance are visible in her design. Her innovative deck plan in which circulation, safety and simplicity are key features on board make her a Super Yacht par excellence.

Contact Us about the First 45

 

The First 45 is intended for the owner who relishes performance and comfort for self and crew. On deck, the boat is all business, from its foldaway anchor roller to its open transom. Hatches mount flush so there’ll be no snags, all sail control lines are tucked out of sight, the cockpit and hardware are laid out to be manageable for the shorthander, but big enough for a racing crew, and a no-nonsense traveler spans the cockpit forward of the twin wheels.
