Racer-Cruiser Royalty
“FIRST was born 45 years ago with the launch of the legendary FIRST 30, and we mark the milestone this year with the announcement of the FIRST 36 in January and the arrival of the FIRST 44 today, completing the full renewal of our flagship range,” says Yann Masselot, BENETEAU’s Brand Director. “The FIRST 44 joins the ranks of BENETEAU’s iconic 40–45-foot yachts, including the FIRST 40.7, the 45f5, and more recently the FIRST 40 and 45, continuing a tradition of performance, elegance, and innovation.”
