The First 30 is invincible at the new awards season. After winning two awards in Asia and North Europe respectively, it took two more important awards home!

THE BRITISH YACHTING AWARD 2025 WINNER
|
|
|
|
Over 5,000 sailors around the world voted online in the 2025 British Yachting Awardsno jury, no panel, just people who sail choosing the boat that spoke to them most. And they chose the First 30 as PERFORMANCE YACHT OF THE YEAR 2025
This matters to us because it's not an industry prize. It's recognition from the people who actually get out on the water. From those who understand what it means when a boat gets up and starts to plane and brings back the joy of sailing! After the First 36 won the same award in 2022, this feels like confirmation: we're on the right course.
To everyone who voteda big thank you. From all of us at Seascape and Beneteau. If you haven't felt what it's like when the First 30 lifts and flies, we hope you will soon!

|
|
|

At the Paris Nautic Show, Voile Magazine announced the winners of Voilier de lAnnée 2026, and the new BENETEAU First 30 was awarded the overall French Boat of the Year title. The boat convinced both the professional jury and the magazines reader-testers, securing one of the most competitive distinctions in the sailing world.
Following the First 36, which earned the same accolade in 2023, the First 30 becomes the second model developed through the BENETEAU-Seascape partnership to receive this prestigious honour.
At the ceremony, we asked Yann Masselot, Beneteau Brand Director, for a comment as he accepted the award together with Andra Mihelin, CEO of Seascape and First Range Manager. Yann said: The Bateau de l'Année award is a true recognition of the work done by a great team: Seascape with their experience in racing and performance boats, Beneteau with our industrial know-how, Sam Manuard, our naval architect who managed to combine performance with family comfort, and of course Lorenzo Argento for the overall First design of the boat.
The First 30 is a story that began in 1977, and we wanted to honor that heritage while delivering on the expectations of todays sailors. This award shows that we have hit our target.
