Overview
The Beneteau Antares 27, known as the Antares 9 in Europe, marks its North American debut as part of a popular three-boat lineup. This model is designed as a versatile cruiser suitable for short trips or single-handed operation, offering comfortable accommodations for two couples or more. Its layout and features emphasize practicality and efficient use of space, making it a compelling option for coastal cruising.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
At the stern, the Antares 27 features twin outboard platforms finished in teak, flanking the engines, with a reboarding ladder and grab rail positioned to starboard, aligned with the cockpit entrance. The aft cockpit seating is U-shaped around a solid wood table on a fixed pedestal, with storage beneath the seats. The forward seat lacks a backrest to allow the sliding door to the salon to open fully. The extended hardtop includes integrated lighting and can accommodate an optional bimini on its trailing edge, or be converted into a sun pad area. Teak decking extends from the cockpit to midships before transitioning to non-skid surfaces forward. The cabin trunk hosts a sizable sun pad measuring approximately 5 by 5 feet 8 inches, with modular cushions for ease of handling. The bow is equipped with an anchor suspended from an extended davit beneath a split 26-inch high bow rail, a horizontally mounted windlass with a hatch for access, and dual 10-inch docking cleats. Notably, the windlass remote is positioned such that it contacts the hatch strut when closing, indicating a need for relocation, and a cleat to relieve standing load on the windlass is recommended.
Interior Living Spaces
Entry to the salon is through a sliding door that opens to a 3-foot 7-inch wide passage, revealing a space with 6 feet 5 inches of headroom. To port, boost-style seating surrounds an expandable solid wood table on a fixed pedestal. Ventilation is enhanced by an opening side window, an overhead skylight, and an opening side door, supplementing airflow from the aft slider. Shore power connectivity at the stern allows for optional air conditioning installation. The seating can be reconfigured by folding the table leaf and flipping the seat back aft to create forward-facing seating, with the seat base elevating for improved visibility. The galley, also to port, includes a concealed single-basin sink and two-burner propane stove, with propane stored cleverly beneath a cockpit step. Additional features include beverage holders, soft-close storage drawers, and a refrigerator.
Private Accommodations
Below deck, the Antares 27 offers two staterooms and one head. The forward guest stateroom to port features a berth measuring 6 feet 7 inches by 4 feet 8 inches, with headroom ranging from 1 foot 5 inches to 2 feet 5 inches above the berth. Storage is provided at the aft bulkhead and along the hull side, complemented by LED lighting. The master stateroom, accessed via a sliding pocket door, contains an island berth angled to maximize space, measuring 6 feet 4 inches by 7 feet 1 inch, with headroom of 5 feet 11 inches at the entrance and 3 feet 4 inches over the berth. Natural light floods the space through a skylight, overhead hatch, and hull-side windows. The head compartment to starboard is a wet head with 6 feet 1 inch of headroom, featuring a pull-out sprayer, opening port light, hull-side window, manual flush ceramic toilet with flip-down seat, and a recessed sink set into a DecoTek countertop with adjacent storage.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 200-horsepower Mercury XL 4-stroke engines turning 16 by 17 inertia props, the Antares 27 has a length overall of 29 feet 6 inches, a beam of 9 feet 8 inches, and a draft of 2 feet 7 inches. The test vessel, with an estimated weight of 11,348 pounds including 60% fuel and two people aboard, achieved a top speed of 42.2 miles per hour at 5,500 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was 25.4 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, delivering a fuel burn of 13.8 gallons per hour and an efficiency of 1.8 miles per gallon, resulting in a range of 262 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve from the 158-gallon capacity. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 3.6 seconds, 20 miles per hour reached in 5.9 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds. The hull’s tulip-shaped bow and dual spray rails contribute to a dry ride by dispersing spray effectively, while dual running strakes enhance tracking. The vessel exhibits an 11-degree roll, promoting comfort underway. Maneuverability is aided by bow thrusters providing ample authority for precise movements, including sideways positioning around docks.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm station, located to starboard, is thoughtfully arranged for functionality and ergonomics. The console is finished in a dark color to reduce glare and includes a 9-inch central display, two fuel gauges, and a 4-inch SmartKraft display. Controls are logically grouped, with the bow thruster joystick and trim tab rockers positioned near the wheel, and ignition and DTS engine controls conveniently located. The helm seat features sliding adjustment, a flip bolster, and a footrest. Fuel shutoffs are accessible on the outboard side of the seat. The single-piece windshield with narrow mullions incorporates pantograph wipers with integrated washers, though the absence of fogging vents inside the cabin is noted. The VHF radio is mounted above the windshield. A standout feature is the opening side door at the helm, which facilitates excellent ventilation and allows for single-handed docking, enhancing the boat’s appeal for cruising couples or solo operators.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Antares 27 demonstrates a well-balanced combination of design, comfort, and performance. Its clever use of space, versatile cockpit and interior arrangements, and efficient twin outboard power make it a capable coastal cruiser. The boat handles well at low speeds with responsive thrusters and offers a dry, comfortable ride at cruising speeds thanks to its advanced hull design. While minor improvements could be made to windlass remote placement and cockpit features, overall, the Antares 27 is a thoughtfully engineered vessel that meets the needs of both short excursions and extended cruising with ease.
