The Beneteau First 310 is a well-balanced blend of performance and cruising comfort, designed by Jean Berret and Philippe Starck. Built in 1993, this model reflects Beneteau’s strong reputation for quality construction, responsive handling, and clever use of interior space. The First 310 is known for being fast, manageable, and enjoyable for both club racing and family cruising.
At just over 30 feet, the boat offers a nimble, lively sailing experience with a fractional rig, efficient sail plan, and a hull shape that performs equally well upwind and downwind. The cockpit is ergonomically designed for easy sail handling, with lines led aft for convenient single- or short-handed sailing.
Below deck, the First 310 provides a bright and inviting interior with generous headroom and a practical layout. Two private cabins—one forward and one aft—make it suitable for weekends or extended cruising. A functional galley, a comfortable saloon with convertible seating, and a fully enclosed head round out the accommodations. Storage is ample for a vessel of this size, and the combination of thoughtful design and durable materials has allowed these boats to age gracefully.
Whether you're looking for a spirited coastal cruiser or a performance-oriented sailboat with classic Beneteau appeal, the 1993 First 310 remains a highly regarded and versatile option.
