Beneteau Antares Serie 8

Stunning Bénéteau Antares Series 8, year 1994, a model that has become a reference in the fishing-cruising convertible boat category. Sturdy, reliable, and comfortable, this unit offers an excellent compromise between family outings, coastal fishing, and short cruises. It has a solid reputation for seaworthiness and serious construction, typical of Bénéteau productions from that era.

One of the major assets of this boat is undoubtedly its engine: a Yanmar 163 hp in-line shaft, known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and longevity. The engine was completely rebuilt in 2023, representing a significant investment and a guarantee of peace of mind for the years to come. The full overhaul (receipts available) ensures optimal operation, perfect starting, and confident navigation. This is a rare feature on the market and highly sought after by experienced buyers.

With its 7.95 meters in length and 3 meters in width, the Antares Series 8 offers an impressive interior volume for its size. The forward cabin provides comfortable double sleeping space, while the saloon easily converts into an extra bed, accommodating up to 4 people overnight. The galley is equipped with essentials for extended trips: stove, sink, functional storage. The separate toilet cabin adds real comfort onboard.

The spacious and well-equipped aft cockpit is ideal for fishing or family social moments. The boat's width grants remarkable stability, highly appreciated both under sail and at anchor. Certified for 8 people, it allows family and friends to board safely.

In terms of capacity, the boat has approximately 250-liter fuel tank offering good range, and a 100-liter freshwater tank, sufficient for day trips or weekends. Cruising speed is around 14 to 16 knots, with a top speed capable of reaching 18 to 20 knots depending on load and sea conditions.

In summary, this Antares Series 8 is a healthy, reliable, and well-maintained boat, ready to take to the sea immediately. Recent engine overhaul makes it a rare opportunity, especially attractive for those seeking a robust, economical, and versatile boat.
