Farr Design


Few performance yachts can achieve this delicate combination that brings a winning yacht together with a comfortable ride when off the course. It is this “best of both worlds” that makes the Beneteau First yachts so incredibly popular. Together with the genius of Farr Yacht Design, and valuable input from sailors, we believe the sleek and elegant First 44.7 is everything they dreamed it would be. It offers exceptional versatility, outstanding value, performance, and Beneteau beauty.


Athena is an extremely comfortable cruising boat equipped with amenities such as two Cruisair reverse-cycle air conditioning units. While the First 44.7 looks and performs beautifully on the racecourse, below decks it shines far above others in its class. You’ll feel confident entertaining friends in the spacious salon and comfy cabins. The exquisite Beneteau joinery, a worldwide hallmark, is evident in a pear-toned finish. Fixed hull ports, opening ports, and deck hatches provide ample natural light and ventilation. In the elegant salon, you’ll find an innovative, adjustable, curved settee adjacent to the dinette, which can remarkably move out of your way. The commodious and private owner’s cabin, with its separate head and shower, is

enough to make the most discerning skipper feel right at home. The First 44.7. A dream inspired by Beneteau owners. A reality for future Beneteau owners.
