Bridging the Gap
The BENETEAU First 36 was crafted to merge cutting-edge racing technology with the practicality and versatility of a racer-cruiser. Even the standard model can fully plane in moderate winds, delivering exhilarating performance on the water. But the true challenge lay beyond speed—over the past 40 years, the First series has consistently struck the delicate balance between comfort, performance, functionality, elegance, advanced construction, and accessibility. The First 36 continues this tradition, offering a modern interpretation of that timeless sweet spot.

Striking a perfect balance between agility, elegance, and practicality, the First 36 embodies the legacy of the First series—offering a modern, high-tech racer-cruiser that doesn’t compromise on style or livability.
