THE BOAT
Designed by Biscontini Yacht design, First 53 represents a new point of reference as a fast and luxury cruising sailboat and responds to the requests of the most demanding owners by offering emotions at the helm, speed and a comfortable life on board at mooring.
A happy combination of classic and modern lines, with a straight and thin bow that offers ample space and a beam of 5 meters that enlarges the stern area, this vessel guarantees excellent marine behavior. The cockpit has been carefully designed so that nothing hinders the passage towards the bow, with maneuvers near the double wheelhouse and convenient access to the gangways, while near the companionway the space is entirely dedicated to relaxation. The slender deckhouse and flush deck give the vessel a refined and modern style at the same time. Thanks to the powerful, perfectly maneuverable sail plan with small crew, a high-end mast and equipment, the boat fully represents the new era of the First range.
INTERNAL DESIGN
Designer Lorenzo Argento aimed for classic style interiors, with a great return to laminated wood, noble materials and fine finishes, on a background of lacquered bulkheads and teak floors. Anti-roll and handrails as well as various well-thought-out stowage areas complete the set-up which has three double cabins and two bathrooms, as well as a separate cabin for the crew. The separation between the lounge/relaxation corner furnished with a large sofa and a coffee table and the kitchen equipped with a table for eating represents one of the main innovations and the whole is bright, ventilated and communicates easily with the outside.
COCKPIT
The fluidity of movements is guaranteed both between the wheelhouses and in the arrangement of the maneuvering winches, and for access to the deck. The opening transom transforms into a bathing platform, revealing a garage that can easily accommodate a 2.40 m tender.
THRILLING EMOTIONS
To offer the maximum in terms of emotions at the helm, balance under sail and weight balance were carefully studied during the conception of the boat. The center of buoyancy, for example, is aligned with the center of the sail. Straight and wide bow, stern beam, draft of 2.50 m or 3 m (with lead bulb), double rudder blades allow you to perfectly control this lively hull: the First 53 has all the credentials for a hull that sails miles at full speed.
BOAT ALWAYS CONNECTED
The Seanapps mobile application and its on-board unit allow you to monitor the status of the various boat systems (battery, fuel and water tank levels, planning of maintenance operations) from your smartphone, as well as plan the own itineraries or take stock of navigation.
Heir to the legendary Beneteau range, born in 1977, our First 53 embodies the perfect synthesis between luxury and performance. Sharp bow, wide stern, powerful sail plan and a hull designed for exceptional performance. The modern and bright interiors offer comfort and style without compromise, while the clean deck plan guarantees impeccable navigation. A boat designed for the most demanding sailors, where every detail is synonymous with excellence. Ottima is available in Sardinia
