Beneteau Antares Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Antares is a French-built range of outboard-powered cruisers spanning the Antares 8, Antares 9 (sold as the Antares 27 in the United States at 27 feet), the Antares 11 and the flagship Antares 12. These boats are positioned to give maximum utility from compact platforms at accessible prices, and they compete directly against Merry Fisher-style wheelhouse cruisers, where the Antares hull has shown itself to be capable and best-in-class in heavy solent conditions. Shoppers searching for Beneteau Antares boats for sale are typically choosing between a fishing-and-family hybrid, a weekender coupe, or a three-cabin flybridge.

The Beneteau Antares 8 is an 8-meter boat commonly fitted with a single Suzuki 200hp outboard and aimed at both fishing and family cruising. The cockpit seating is removable on both sides to open up fishing space, and the engine slides forward on a runner so the outboard can tilt up and maximize deck area. It carries an electric windlass with full chain, a bow thruster, a Garmin chart plotter and sonar, a Fusion RA70 Bluetooth remote networked into the Garmin, a single-burner gas hob, and hot and cold water through an immersion heater. The helm seat back twists to face forward, giving five people forward-facing seating underway, and the cabin sleeps two comfortably with up to four on board, served by a separate heads with a manual flush toilet.

The Beneteau Antares 9, recently updated with extended window graphics and a longer cockpit roofline, runs twin Suzuki 250s for around 40 to 41 knots, or twin 200hp Suzuki or Mercury engines for 35 to 36 knots. A side gate now comes as standard, the cockpit bench slides forward on deck runners to trim the engines at the dock, and the under-deck locker doubles as an engineering bay for a lithium battery bank or generator. Inside is a four-person dinette, a galley with gas hob, sink and optional 80-liter fridge, finishes carried over from the Antares 12, and a 12-inch plotter at the helm. The US-spec Antares 27 version reaches up to 50 mph on twin Mercury 250s and cruises most economically at about 28 mph, with air conditioning, a propane stovetop and a forward berth plus secondary cabin below.

The Beneteau Antares 11 Coupe is a 37-foot weekender on a deep-V hull, fitted here with twin 300hp Mercury V8 outboards. A 2024 example was priced at £239,950 including UK VAT, against roughly £300,000 new. It features blade windows, a fold-down side balcony, Eberspächer heating, a retractable slatted roof, a Simrad plotter, optional joystick, Zipwake trim tabs, a bow thruster and an optional Panda generator. Below are two cabins with a master double, an aft double berth suited to children, and a Jack-and-Jill heads with a shower.

The Beneteau Antares 12 is the flagship at around 40 feet, with a base price near $680,000 US. Buyers choose twin 400hp V10 outboards or triple engines, the triples adding about $70,000 and lifting top speed from 34 to 37 knots. It carries a flybridge with its own helm, a drop-down boarding platform as standard, an asymmetric wheelhouse with a wide starboard side deck, a lower helm with twin screens and joystick control, and a three-cabin layout with a private owner's en suite. The galley includes a Miele oven, ceramic cooktop and Vitrifrigo cooling drawers, and a Seakeeper is available among options that can push a well-specified boat toward a million dollars. Across the range, soft-close drawers and tidy joinery reflect Beneteau's long production experience, points worth weighing alongside engine choice and electronics when comparing boats for sale.
