The Beneteau First 25 is a cornerstone of the modern "performance cruiser" category, representing a pivotal moment when Beneteau transitioned from traditional wooden craftsmanship to fiberglass innovation. Originally launched in 1979 and designed by Jean-Marie Finot, the First 25 was conceived as a "pocket rocket"—a vessel capable of spirited club racing while remaining approachable enough for family coastal cruising. The design proved so successful that over 1,000 units of the original iteration were produced between 1979 and 1984, as documented in the Beneteau Historical Archive.
