Step aboard this highly sought-after design for a performance cruiser. A yacht designed by the renowned Bruce Farr and first crafted in 2000. This exceptional vessel is in excellent sailing condition, nicely maintained by her owner who has used her for island hopping the beautiful Caribbean waters since his purchase in 2022. She stands as a testament to Beneteau’s commitment to performance and comfort, making her a fast and manageable choice for any type of navigation.
This particular First 47.7 is a 3 cabin with a pullman berth forward and en-suite head and two identical generous aft cabins and aft head accessible from the salon. She is equipped for both performance cruising or a leisure island hopping lifestyle, featuring an array of amenities to accommodate a life on the water including:
(3) Electric Winches Solar arch w/ integrated dinghy davits Water Maker Hydrogenerator Radar Autopilot with Remote Control Extensive bottom job in 2023
Designed and equipped by one of the best in the business to cross oceans or island hop in comfort and style, the Beneteau First 47.7 Performance is not just a yacht; she is a vessel for creating unforgettable memories. Recently hauled out at Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola BVI, Nanito II is fully loaded and 100% turn-key, ready to embark on your next adventure.

Owners Remarks
Everything on the boat works perfectly and is in excellent condition. It has always been maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and the engine has only 3,300 hours. The boat comes with all necessary accessories and is ready for sailing and living on board. It is self-sufficient in energy and water, equipped with solar panels, a hydrogenerator, and a watermaker.
Equipment: Contact for full listing info.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Dimensions here are for Std. Rig.
Deep draft: 9.16’/2.79m
