XBOAT ref :5897.
First 325 PTE – Sailboat, livable, high-performance

First 325 PTE built by Bénéteau in 1984, solid, fast, and comfortable. This model remains a reliable market value thanks to its seaworthy lines, pleasant interior layout, and sailing performance.

The boat has undergone several recent overhauls: the engine had its elbow joint and exhaust hose replaced in 2022. Its 2025 servicing was carried out by a professional mechanic. The mainsail was replaced in 2019 and has very few miles on it. A full assessment dated October 2024 confirms a sound structure, free from grounding or deformation, and highlights a few points to monitor or upgrade (original standing rigging, safety gear, certain aesthetic interior and exterior details). The keel bolts are in good condition as they had to be replaced by a previous owner.

⚓ STRONG POINTS OF THE FIRST 325 PTE
Version PTE: shallow draft highly sought after
Mainsail recent (SAILS CONCEPT 2019)
Engine starts perfectly, serviced (2025)
Functional Raymarine electronics
Pleasant cockpit – wooden interior needing refreshed
Exceptional value for money
