Beneteau Antares 7 Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Antares 7 is a hardtop weekender built around a glazed wheelhouse and sliding patio doors, aimed at owners stepping up from sports boats, cuddies, bow riders and ribs who want better protection from the weather. It carries up to eight people and is the largest Antares that can legally travel on a trailer in the UK, with an all-up trailered weight around three tonnes or slightly under, so it can be stored at home or towed to new cruising grounds behind a small family car. Among the Antares 7 specs that matter for berthing and launching, the hull measures 21 feet 3 inches with an overall length of 24 feet 6 inches once the swim platforms, outboard and anchor roller are counted, the beam is 8 feet 4 inches (2.55 m), and draft runs about 0.8 m with the outboard down and roughly 0.45 m trimmed up.

This is an outboard-powered boat, and a Beneteau Antares 7 OB is offered with engines up to a 200 hp Suzuki, the maximum rating. With the 200 hp four-cylinder fitted, the hull comes onto the plane in about four seconds, holds plane as low as 14 knots at 3,700 rpm, and reaches 34 knots at 5,800 rpm even in waves over a metre. The more common Suzuki 150 four-stroke, turning a three-blade stainless Water Grip prop of 19-inch pitch, idles at 1.2 litres per hour, cruises economically near 17–18.6 knots at 4,000 rpm on 25–26 litres per hour, and tops out at 28–29 knots into current and over 30 knots with it, burning 47–48 litres per hour at 5,500 rpm. At a relaxed 2,000–2,200 rpm it runs 7 knots on 7.5 litres per hour, useful for harbours and inland waterways.

The wheelhouse is offset to port, giving a wider starboard walk-around to the bow while keeping a usable port side deck. The single-piece dash carries a Garmin or Simrad chart plotter with split-screen fish finder and depth sounder, a Suzuki digital engine monitor on an LCD display, VHF with DSC, hydraulic steering, electric trim and tilt, and an electric Lewmar anchor windlass with an optional helm and bow remote. A bow thruster and Suzuki troll mode are fitted on well-specced examples, the latter letting the boat creep slowly for trolling lines. The helm seat works seated or against the bolster for standing operation, with good forward visibility that keeps the horizon in view on the plane.

The cockpit is sheltered by the hardtop and closes off behind glass sliding patio doors that deadbolt top and bottom. A wet bar holds a freshwater sink with electric pump and a drying rack, with options for a gas or alcohol cooker and a Dometic 12-volt fridge-freezer; the galley sits to starboard behind the helm seat. U-shaped seating surrounds a removable table, the central box lifts out, and the cushions reconfigure into a large sunpad. The aft backrest slides forward so the outboard can tilt fully clear of the water for storage or beaching. Outside there are extended swim platforms on both sides with four-step stainless ladders, a freshwater transom shower, a lined and drained locker for bait or ice, rod holders in the gunnels, a transom gate, and a shore-power inlet with onboard battery charger.

Inside, the port dinette seats four and the table lowers to form a single-and-a-half berth, while the diagonal bow V-berth sleeps two; standing headroom suits a 1.90 m adult, with roughly six feet under the canvas aft. An enclosed heads compartment forward houses a sea toilet with holding tank, a sink and a light, with room to sit. Walnut joinery, curtains, blackout blinds and a mosquito net on the sliding roof finish the cabin. Build details include an aluminium rub rail with PVC insert, molded non-skid decks, chunky aluminium cleats and stainless handrails throughout. A Beneteau Antares 7 for sale often appears as a 2017 or 2021 example with low hours, frequently loaded with the camper canvas, comfort and upgraded galley packages plus a twin-axle trailer; when comparing a Beneteau Antares 7 price, weigh engine choice, the canvas and galley options, and whether a road trailer is included.
