Captained Charters on a Beneteau First 455 from Phuket,Thailand

A Beneteau First 455, one of Beneteau’s most successful models, designed by Bruce Farr and Pininfarina. The yacht is a good all rounder and is always chartered out for Phuket’s Kings Cup Regatta. The design was way ahead of its time and Sita looks as good today as many of her more modern contemporaries. She has won King’s Cup once several years ago with a top IRC race crew. In 2014 she won the Phang Nga Regatta.

Don’t think this is a stripped out racing boat, she is fully equipped and very well appointed for cruising with 6 people in comfort.
