Beneteau First 31.7 d'occasion

Performance-oriented cruising defines this 2002 Beneteau First 31.7, a 9.5-meter fiberglass vessel currently lying in Italia. Meticulously maintained as a private-use boat, this unit has never been used for racing. It offers a functional layout featuring two cabins and one bathroom, making it a capable cruiser for short-handed crews or small families. The technical profile of this Beneteau First 31.7 includes significant recent upgrades. The navigation suite was modernized in 2022 with a full Garmin electronics package and a Raymarine ST4000 autopilot. For comfort and ease of operation, the cockpit features synthetic teak seating updated in 2023, a 2022 lazy bag, and a matching hinging sun awning. The sail inventory remains in strong condition, complemented by a new 2022 Dacron furling jib and an unused gennaker. Power is provided by a 20hp Volvo Penta engine with an S-drive system. The mechanical health is supported by consistent annual servicing, with the most recent engine service and antifouling application completed in June 2024. The S-drive seal was replaced in 2021, and the vessel is equipped with a 2-blade folding propeller for improved efficiency. Additional equipment highlights include a 2021 bowsprit, electric windlass, and a 2021 anchor setup with 50 meters of chain. The interior remains in excellent condition with new batteries installed in 2023. This boat is offered with VAT paid, providing a straightforward acquisition process for prospective buyers. This specific vessel is suited for sailors who appreciate the responsive handling of the First series combined with the peace of mind offered by modern, well-documented maintenance.
