Beneteau Antares Serie 8

Superb Bénéteau Antares Serie 8, model year 1994, a vessel that has become a reference in the fishing-cruising 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 fully rebuilt in 2023, representing a significant investment and a guarantee of peace of mind for the years to come. The complete overhaul (invoices available) ensures optimal operation, flawless startups, and confident navigation. This is a rare selling point on the market and highly sought after by discerning buyers.

With its 7.95 m length and 3 m width, the Antares Serie 8 offers an impressive interior volume for its size. The forward cabin provides a comfortable double berth, while the salon easily transforms into an additional bed, allowing up to 4 persons to sleep overnight. The kitchen is equipped with essentials for extended trips: stove, sink, functional storage. The separate toilet cabin adds real comfort on board.

The spacious and well-arranged aft cockpit is ideal for fishing or convivial moments with family. The boat’s width provides remarkable stability, appreciated both while sailing and at anchor. Certified for 8 persons, it allows family and friends to board safely.

In terms of capacity, the boat has a fuel tank of about 250 liters, providing good autonomy, and a freshwater tank of 100 liters, sufficient for day trips or weekend outings. Cruising speed is around 14 to 16 knots, with a top speed reaching 18 to 20 knots depending on load and sea conditions.

In summary, this Antares Serie 8 is a healthy, reliable, and well-maintained boat, ready to go to sea immediately. The recent engine overhaul makes it a rare and particularly attractive opportunity for those seeking a sturdy, economical, and versatile vessel.
