Comparison
First 18 SE vs First 24 — which makes sense?
Both are serious on the water. The 18 SE is the budget-conscious performance statement, the 24 the versatile cruiser for bigger plans.
First 18 SE
Compact performance entry
For buyers who want to combine performance with trailability. Your boat, your sailing grounds, your pace.
First 24
Greater versatility
For those who want more comfort, storage and space for family and long-term plans.
| Criterion | First 18 SE | First 24 |
|---|---|---|
| Concept | Trailerable performance entry with real potential | Larger, versatile platform for longer cruises |
| Transportability | 500 kg — self-transportable, flexibly deployable | Larger project, shipyard support often makes sense |
| Typical owner | Seeks performance with smaller budget and footprint | Wants more comfort and storage capacity |
| Sailing grounds profile | Lakes, coast, but also challenging cruises | Mediterranean cruises, family onboard, longer sailing |
