Beneteau First 30 Wins Best Sailing Yacht Under 20M at 2025 Yacht Style Awards

Beneteau Asia-Pacific is pleased to announce that the newly launched First 30 has won the Best Sailing Yacht Under 20M at the 2025 Yacht Style Awards. The award was presented during a gala dinner on April 9th, held on the eve of the Singapore Yachting Festival at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove. Attended by over 350 industry leaders, yacht owners, and media, the event celebrated the year’s standout achievements in yachting across Asia and beyond.

 

Launched at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2025, the First 30 has been recognised for its innovative approach as a versatile ‘planing cruiser’. At 10.33 metres, it bridges the gap between the First 27 and First 36, offering a unique combination of racing performance and cruising capability. Designed for accessibility and speed, the model has already gained strong interest globally, with four units expected to arrive in the Asia-Pacific region this year.

Beneteau will be showcasing the First 30 across key cities in the region through its upcoming Immersive Tour, featuring onboard viewings and sea trials in collaboration with local partners.

 36° Brokers are proud to represent the First 30 in New Zealand, offering local sailors access to this award-winning model. You can learn more about the Award Winning First 30 here – or connect with us today and make it yours.
