Drawing on four decades of expertise, First 53 emerges as the newest addition to the First range, introduced by BENETEAU in 1977. Designed for skilled sailors and discerning owners with a focus on high-performance cruising and regatta participation, this "Luxury Performance" sailing yacht boasts a harmonious hull and helm for unparalleled sensations. Its accessible deck layout, a contemporary marine interior featuring white lacquered bulkheads, and molded wood contribute to the revitalization of the next generation of First sailing yachts.

First 53 masterfully blends traditional and modern aesthetics. Its straight, slender bow offers ample forward space, while its 5-meter maximum beam further aft distinguishes it as a sturdy, seaworthy vessel. The meticulously designed cockpit ensures unobstructed forward movement and easy access to side decks from the twin helm stations. The Flush deck, low coachroof, and sleek appearance emphasize its pedigree qualities. Equipped with a top-notch mast, advanced deck gear, and a powerful yet easily managed sail plan, First 53 ushers in a new era.

In First 53's interior, molded wood makes a stunning return. This elegant material, adorned with polished finishes, contrasts with the modern, almost minimalist décor of lacquered white bulkheads and a teak sole. Abundant fiddles, handrails, and storage spaces are accompanied by three double cabins and two heads comprising the accommodation. The innovative separation of the lounge/relaxation area - featuring a sofa and coffee table - from the galley space and dining table creates a bright, well-ventilated environment that seamlessly connects with the exterior through an effortless, intuitive companionway.

Designed to set a new benchmark in fast, luxurious cruising, First 53 adheres to a comprehensive set of specifications. Developed over two years, this yacht brings excellence within reach, catering to the needs of exacting owners seeking thrills, speed, and comfort while anchored. The redesigned interior accommodates a large sofa and coffee table, dividing the space into two distinct, functional areas: relaxation and dining.
Designer Lorenzo Argento focused on facilitating smooth movement between helm stations and arranging winches for easy maneuvering and deck access. A 2.4-meter (8') tender can be effortlessly stowed away in the tender garage located behind the lifting transom that doubles as a swim platform.

To maximize exhilaration at the helm, careful attention was paid to achieving optimal weight distribution and balance under sail. For instance, the center of buoyancy is aligned with the center of effort. The straight bow enhances spaciousness, while the maximum beam further aft, a 2.5 or 3-meter draft (with lead bulb), and twin rudders ensure perfect control over the highly responsive hull. First 53's ability to swiftly cover miles gives it a competitive edge.
