Performance by Design

The First 44 captures the essence of fast cruising with sharp lines, balanced sail power, and a hull designed to move. Built for confident offshore passages and easy coastal sailing, this model blends speed with comfort in a way that suits New Zealand conditions perfectly. Wide side decks, a clean cockpit layout, and responsive handling make it a yacht that invites you to helm, trim, and enjoy every mile.

Thoughtful Interior

Inside, the First 44 is bright, modern, and built for sailors who value both comfort and efficiency. The saloon feels open and inviting, with generous seating and seamless flow to the galley. Natural light pours through the hull windows and skylights, creating an interior that feels as good at anchor as it does offshore. Smart storage and clean lines keep everything practical for weekends away or longer coastal runs.

  • Three-cabin layout with generous owner’s cabin

  • Wide hull windows and overhead skylights

  • Comfortable saloon with dedicated dining and lounging areas
