The yacht's flush deck, low coachroof, and sleek modern aesthetics make it a sight to behold.
Inside, the First 53 welcomes you with moulded wood interiors contrasted against lacquered white bulkheads and a teak sole. The yacht offers multiple cabin layout versions, ensuring that every sailor finds their perfect fit. The interior is divided into two main areas: a relaxation space with a sofa and coffee table, and a dining space with a large table. The master cabin is exceptionally spacious, featuring a 1.60 m wide double island bed, ample storage, and large portholes on either side. The yacht also offers two aft cabins with double berths and separate shower rooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for all on board.
