About This Vessel

This 2006 Beneteau First 44.7, measures 44 ft, and is located in Jamestown, Rhode Island, powered by Yanmar SD50-YM1 55.00HP.

NEW ARRIVAL - MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS TO COME!Few production cruisers strike the balance between spirited performance and comfortable cruising quite like the Beneteau 44.7. Designed by Bruce Farr and built during Beneteau's celebrated First-series run, this 2006 offers a powerful, easily driven hull, a deep and secure cockpit, and a below-decks layout that lives large for a boat just under 45 feet.On deck, the 44.7 rewards sailors who want to actually sail their boat — a well-balanced helm, a fractional rig that's forgiving shorthanded yet capable of real speed when pressed, and hardware laid out for efficient sail handling. Below, she typically offers a bright, teak-accented saloon, a proper nav station, and multiple stateroom configurations that suit both weekend cruising and longer passages. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is

Hull & Construction

Neverly is built on a solid fiberglass hull with a structural fiberglass pan bonded 360 degrees to the hull and deck — a construction approach that gives her exceptional rigidity, a quiet ride, and long-term durability well suited to serious offshore use. Her deck and superstructure use a cored fiberglass sandwich construction, shaving weight aloft without sacrificing strength, which translates directly into livelier performance and a stiffer, more stable platform underway. This is the kind of build quality that has made Beneteau's First series a benchmark among production performance cruisers, and it's exactly why these hulls have such a strong reputation for holding their value and standing up to years of hard sailing. For a buyer looking for a boat that's as capable offshore as she is comfortable at the dock, this is a hull worth trusting.

Accommodations

Below decks, Neverly sleeps up to seven across a thoughtful four-cabin layout. Forward, a private double stateroom with its own head and integral shower offers a quiet retreat, while aft, twin double quarter cabins to port and starboard provide comfortable, separated sleeping space — ideal for guests or a second couple aboard. The main salon centers on a U-shaped settee to starboard with a bar built into the seat back, balanced by a second settee to port, all finished in warm beechwood joinery with teak plywood soles underfoot. A proper navigation station with varnished chart table sits aft to port, opposite a full galley with double stainless sinks, pressurized hot and cold water, and a gimbaled two-burner stove with oven. A second head with shower serves the aft cabins, rounding out a layout built as much for real cruising as for coastal weekending.Details:Double SS sinks, pressurized hot/cold water, gimbaled 2-burner LPG stove w/ oven (Eno)Frigoboat 12V refrigeration, built-in icebox(2) Jabsco manual marine heads, Type 3 MSD holding tanks, integral showers fwd and aftAccommodations: forward double stateroom w/ head, main salon (U-shaped settee to starboard, settee to port), nav station, port and starboard aft double quarter cabins — sleeps 7Varnished chart table at nav station with electrical panel
