Defined by its reputation for combining performance with cruising comfort, this Beneteau First 47.7 is a robust 14.5-meter sailing yacht built in 2000. It features a deep keel and a standard mast, making it well-suited for sailors who prioritize sailing characteristics. The vessel is currently located in Malta and carries an asking price of 85,000 EUR, with VAT paid status.
Power and reliability are provided by a well-maintained 75hp Yanmar diesel engine paired with a 3-blade MaxProp propeller. The yacht’s electrical autonomy has been significantly enhanced with a Vetus Mitsubishi 8.5 kVA generator, new Victron battery charger, and recent starter batteries. Comfort is ensured through three independent air conditioning units and a recently installed water heater, supported by a 72 liters-per-hour watermaker and substantial fresh water storage.
The deck and sail inventory reflect a boat set up for serious sailing. The setup includes an excellent set of North Sails mainsail, Banks headsail, and two spinnakers, all managed with two electric winches and comprehensive Marlow running rigging. The cockpit features teak decking replaced in recent years, a lifting table, and a full suite of canvas including a bimini and sprayhood. Navigation is handled by a modern suite featuring Garmin chartplotting, Raymarine autopilot with a Lecomble & Schmitt RAM, Furuno radar, and AIS capability.
Inside, the accommodation offers three double cabins and two heads, providing ample space for extended stays. The saloon is highly flexible, featuring a convertible table for additional sleeping capacity. The galley is fully equipped for long-range cruising, featuring a 3-burner stove, oven, microwave, and two refrigerators with a new compressor. Entertainment is provided by dual flat-screen TVs and new Fusion external speakers, complemented by updated LED lighting throughout the interior and exterior.
This yacht is ideal for sailors seeking a proven performance hull that has been updated with modern electrical, navigation, and comfort systems. Its configuration makes it equally capable for coastal racing or comfortable blue-water passages. The vessel is currently available in Malta for viewing by appointment.
