The First 53 is a sail boat from Beneteau. Founded in 1884 at Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie as a fishing-boat yard, Beneteau is the largest sailing-boat manufacturer in the world and the centre of a group that also owns Jeanneau, Lagoon, Prestige and Excess. It specialises in production cruising yachts - the Oceanis range - and the First line of cruiser-racers. The hull measures about 17.2 metres. It sleeps up to 9.
Adriavela lists 9 boats of this model. They were built between 2021 and 2025, so the layout and the equipment differ from one hull to the next. The hulls here carry 3 to 4 cabins and 6 to 9 berths.
They leave from bases up and down the coast, Olympic Marina, Club Nautico Ibiza and Cala dei Sardi among them. A 7-day charter starts at €4,372, which is €624 a day. 2 of them are quoted on request. A monohull of this size takes a full crew and still handles like a sailing boat, which is what most skippered weeks on this coast are booked for.
