Beneteau First 310
Beneteau is synonymous with reliability and nautical tradition, and the First 310 model is a tangible example of its design philosophy: merging the sporting spirit with comfort designed for discerning cruisers. This sailboat, currently located in Calpe, Alicante province, offers the classic experience of sailing in the Mediterranean, combining agility, performance, and surprising livability for its length of 9.4 meters, beam of 3.2 meters, and draft of 1.8 meters.
Built in 1991, this used sailboat has managed to maintain the quality seal of Beneteau over the years, presenting a very well-preserved overall condition both inside and on deck. Its fiberglass hull and bulb keel enhance stability, while the sloop rig, updated with renewed standing rigging in 2025, ensures safety and performance on every voyage.
The First 310 stands out for its versatile character: it is an agile and responsive sailboat, designed for both the sailor seeking sporting thrills and those who value the pleasure of family cruising. Its interior layout, with two independent cabins and a convertible salon, provides real space for six people, making it possible to enjoy long days on board in company, without sacrificing privacy or comfort. The gas kitchen equipped with an oven and refrigerator, along with an independent bathroom with manual WC, sink, and shower, enhance the comfort of life on board. Additionally, the 200-liter freshwater tank and the black water tank facilitate autonomy on the route.
The navigation equipment is one of the strong points of this unit. It features a mainsail with a lazy bag and a roller genoa with a sun band, ideal for facilitating maneuvers on short outings or long crossings. For lovers of sports sailing, the offering is expanded with racing mainsail and genoa, gennaker with storage and sock, spinnaker, pole, and bowsprit. The self-tailing two-speed winches and the rigid backstay provide precise control, while the folding propeller improves sailing performance.
The 18 HP Volvo Penta inboard diesel engine, with shaft drive and a 75-liter fuel tank, is in good condition, with recent inspections and maintenance that include the replacement of the exhaust elbow and impeccable silent blocks. The entire engine compartment is clean, a detail that conveys confidence about the care received by the vessel.
Regarding safety and exterior comfort, the spacious cockpit stands out, equipped with cushions, bimini, and side closures, elements that provide shade and shelter in any condition. The swim platform, ladder, and outdoor shower are details that make a difference for those who enjoy anchoring or spending time on deck. The anchor windlass, automatic bilge pump with alarm, and 220 V shore power connection complete an inventory designed for peace of mind and autonomy.
The electrical system has been renewed, including AGM batteries and charger, which, along with the onboard electronics —fixed and portable VHF, GPS, depth sounder, wind equipment, and autopilot— allows for coastal and offshore navigation with total confidence. All these elements reinforce the value proposition of this used sailboat: a prepared, safe, and versatile boat.
The Beneteau First 310 thus reveals itself as an ideal option for sailors looking for an agile, well-maintained vessel with a sail and equipment setup designed to evolve in nautical learning or fully enjoy the sea with family or friends. The location in Calpe, a privileged spot on the Alicante coast, adds appeal for those wishing to explore the waters of the Mediterranean in an area of great nautical tradition and excellent port infrastructure.
