Broker Remarks

This 2011 Beneteau First 40, designed by Bruce Farr does an admirable job of combining performance from a truly fast hull with a stylish interior. This cruiser/racer's interior has been finished in the Alphi blond oak which adds a touch of class and comfort throughout the vessel. This yacht has been owned by the current owners since June 2020 and is being sold due to on-going health issues. The vessel has always been owned by a VAT registered company and thus would make an ideal yacht to place in a charter company.
