Beneteau Antares 9 Boats For Sale

The Beneteau Antares 9, sold in North America as the Antares 27, is a compact pilothouse cruiser built around outboard power and weekend cruising for one or two couples. It measures 29 feet 6 inches in length overall, carries a 9-foot 8-inch beam, and draws 2 feet 7 inches, with an empty weight of 9,387 pounds. The layout suits families and newer boat owners who want enclosed shelter from sun, wind and cold: two cabins, a single head, an interior galley and helm, a covered cockpit, and a raised island sunbed on the bow. The series 2 version widened the hull by 3 centimeters over the original Antares 9 to add interior volume, and added a standard opening side gate and an extended hardtop over the aft bench.

Power comes from twin outboards, with a pair of 200 hp Mercury units as the base and 250s as the maximum rating. With twin Mercury 200 four-strokes spinning 16-by-17 props, the Antares 9 reached a top speed of 42.2 mph at 5,500 rpm. Best cruise fell at 3,500 rpm and 25.4 mph, where the Beneteau Antares 9 fuel consumption measured 13.8 gallons per hour for 1.8 mpg and a range of 262 statute miles, holding a 10% reserve against the 158-gallon total fuel capacity. Time to plane averaged 3.6 seconds, with 20 mph reached in 5.9 seconds and 30 mph in 8.5. Boats fitted with the upgraded 250s have shown closer to 50 mph and an easy cruise near 28 mph. The tulip-shaped bow and twin spray rails throw spray clear for a dry ride, and the hull rolls about 11 degrees into turns. European pricing for the series 2 starts around €134,500 plus tax, and specifying Suzuki 200s in place of the Mercurys saves roughly 12,000.

The helm sits to starboard and is kept narrow to allow a two-person co-pilot seat to port and stair access below. It carries a dark, glare-knocking console, a 9-inch display that upgrades to a 12-inch Garmin or Simrad plotter, fuel gauges, a SmartCraft engine readout, and Mercury digital throttles. A side power bow thruster, Lenco trim tabs, and an optional joystick handle close-quarters work, and dockside maneuverability is strong enough to walk the boat sideways. The standout feature is the large opening skipper-side door, which adds airflow and lets one person dock the boat single-handed. A single-piece windshield with pantograph wipers and washers fronts the pilothouse.

The cockpit uses U-shaped seating around a solid wood expandable table on a fixed pedestal, with storage under every seat and one section doubling as a cooler. The half cockpit bench slides forward on tracks roughly half a meter to expose a service platform and let the engines tilt clear of the water. Twin swim platforms flank the outboards with covenant teak, and a four-step reboarding ladder with grab rail and swim shower sit to starboard, with shore power to port. The bow carries a sunpad measuring 5 feet by 5 feet 8 inches with a 10-inch extension, a split bow rail, and a horizontally mounted windlass under a gas-strut hatch. Side decks run 11 inches, with the starboard side the wider and more accessible route forward.

Down below is a two-stateroom, one-head boat with 6 feet 5 inches of salon headroom. The galley to port has a single-basin sink, a two-burner propane stove fed from an externally vented gas locker, a Dometic 12-volt fridge with freezer drawer, a microwave and a soft-close drawer; the series 2 fits an 80-liter fridge. The forward owner's cabin holds an angled island berth measured at 6 feet 4 inches by 7 feet 1 inch with a skylight and overhead hatch, while the second cabin to port carries a 6-foot-7 by 4-foot-8 berth lit by a deck skylight above. The wet head to starboard has 6 feet 1 inch of headroom, a pullout sprayer shower, a manual ceramic toilet and an opening port light. Air conditioning is optional, with the unit mounted under the half bench and shore power connectivity at the stern. Beneteau Antares 9 boats for sale span the original and series 2 hulls, both built around clever multi-use furniture and strong resale on a reliable outboard platform; points to weigh include the narrow port side deck, the bow thruster and trim-tab placement, and which engine package fits your speed and budget.
