Bénéteau First 40.7’s:
With its resolutely modern design, the First 40.7 is a true pleasure boat. The beautiful hull lines, clean deck layout, and comfortable interior all add up to a fast, functional yacht.
The Bénéteau First 40.7 clearly has big boat characteristics. From the classic Bruce Farr fine entry to the 60 inch destroyer wheel that is recessed into the cockpit floor, this yacht gives you the big boat feel all the way.

Reflex 38’s:
These yachts are fantastic examples of modern day cruiser/racers. They were designed by Christian Stimson with amateur sailors in mind. With this being the case, Christian developed a yacht with fantastic performance on the race track, yet they are easy to handle and forgiving to sail.
Below decks the Reflex 38s are stylish and practical and can accommodate up to 10 crew including Skipper.
This yacht is fun to sail and with a professional skipper engaged in teaching and overseeing the sailing, the Reflex 38 is an ideal boat for experienced and amateur crew alike.
1st Charters can organise a fleet of these yachts which are ideal for a corporate regatta.

Bavaria Yachts:
Bavaria Yachts are the ideal yachts for groups that wish to cruise in comfort, or who have limited sailing experience and wish to learn the ropes on a yacht that is forgiving and not too technical. These yachts also provide the perfect corporate hospitality platform, when the emphasis is on the social aspects of sailing. However, Bavaria yachts can also be raced against each other and can provide an exciting regatta for small or large groups.
|
|
|
The typical Bavaria yacht has comfortable cabins, along with hot water, cooker, fridge, CD & radio. Many also have furling sails, removing much of the hard work associated with sailing.
1st Charters can charter a range of Bavaria yachts that have between 6/10 berths. The length of yacht varies from 32 ft – 49 ft.
Please contact us to discuss the size of yacht you require and we will organise it for you.

Rigid Inflatable Boat:
It is always nice to have a RIB as a support vessel for your hospitality day’s; not only will they be able to take people from yacht or land and vice versa, but they are great for letting you guests have a break from the yacht.
|
|
|
The RIB’s are adrenaline machines and the drivers are qualified to ensure you get an exciting ride whilst bearing your safety in mind at all times.
There are various size RIB’s available that will take 6/8 people plus driver. Please contact us to discuss your needs and we will recommend the most suitable.
