Owner's comments
FIRST 325 PTE – Comfortable and Performant Cruiser
First 325 PTE built by Bénéteau in 1984, sturdy, fast, and comfortable. This model remains a reliable choice in the market thanks to its seaworthy lines, pleasant interior layout, and excellent sailing performance.
This is the PTE (Shallow Draft) version, particularly suitable for navigating in shallow waters, estuaries, rias, Southern Brittany, or certain river areas.
⚓ MAIN CHARACTERISTICS – FIRST 325 PTE
• Length Overall (LOA): 10.01 m
• Beam: 3.38 m
• Shallow Draft (PTE): 1.45m – ideal for coastal navigation
• Year: 1984 – Builder: Bénéteau
• Material: Polyester – Category: B
• Engine: Volvo Penta 2002 – 19 HP – stainless steel prop shaft, bronze two-blade propeller
• Sail Plan: 2019 Mainsail – Furling genoa – Spinnaker
• Electronics: Autopilot, depth sounder, wind vane, Raymarine anemometer – Garmin GPS – VHF
• Layout: 2 double cabins + convertible saloon – galley – marine head
• Inflatable dinghy AD
The boat has undergone several recent maintenance checks: the engine was serviced in 2022, with the elbow and exhaust hose replaced. Its 2025 service is to be carried out by a professional mechanic. The mainsail was replaced in 2019 with very few miles. A comprehensive survey dated October 2024 confirms a sound structure, with no keels or deformations, and highlights a few points to monitor or upgrade (original standing rigging, safety equipment, some interior and exterior aesthetic details).
???? KEY FEATURES OF THE FIRST 325 PTE
✔️ PTE Version: highly sought-after shallow draft
✔️ Recent mainsail (SAILS CONCEPT 2019)
✔️ Engine starts perfectly, serviced (2025)
✔️ Functional Raymarine electronics
✔️ Pleasant cockpit – wooded interior to refresh
✔️ Exceptional value for money
________________________________________
???? Short or medium-term work to be planned:
• Updating the standing rigging (age-related recommendation)
• Partially revising the electrical circuit (battery/terminal standards)
• Refurbishing the forward cabin's bulkhead and replacing a cockpit batten
• Replacing a few seacocks according to the survey recommendations
________________________________________
This FIRST 325 PTE is a safe, well-built cruiser with significant potential for a sailor looking to navigate quickly while making some targeted improvements. At this price, it represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to acquire a reliable and well-maintained liveaboard cruiser in this particularly sought-after intermediate size.
