Antares 6, 7, 8, 9... and now the Antares 11. Beneteau's all-new model marks a new milestone in the well-known line of weekenders, which now exceeds 10 metres!
The new Antares flagship is the result of a new collaboration between Beneteau (architect) and Sarrazin Design. Her lines are fluid, giving her an incredibly well-proportioned, contemporary silhouette. The well-balanced profile of her wheelhouse is underlined by the extensive windows, providing optimal light on board. This family cruiser is
reassuringly reliable. Her well protected hull offers comfort and pleasure at sea and movement on board is made easier by a flush deck between the cockpit and the wheelhouse.
With a length overall of eleven metres, the new flagship of the Antares fleet takes the lead in the outboard family cruiser category. She can be used for multiple boating programmes, making her ideal for a wide range of fun and leisure activities! With twin outboard engines (2 x 300 hp maximum engine power) performance and comfort are guaranteed.
"Our priority was to provide the best quality-of-life on board, without this affecting the amount of space. With the Antares 11, the new spearhead of the line, we succeeded in improving space and comfort on board," explains Michael Guinet, Outboard Product Manager at Beneteau.
This space, comfort and quality of life are perfectly illustrated by the size and luxury of the two cabins and the shower room. Located at the bow, the double master cabin is well above the usual standards. It has a central island bed, lots of storage, large profiled windows on each side, and an ensuite shower room, placing an emphasis on elegance, with Alpi hazelnut wood bulkheads, skilfully combined with the heather grey fabric of the lining.
The full-beam aft cabin demonstrates how well the space is optimised. With opening windows on each side, it is bright, well ventilated with a wonderful view, and has a double bed together with a single berth to starboard. If you count two passengers sleeping in the convertible saloon, the Antares 11 can accommodate up to seven people in excellent conditions. This is incredible interior comfort for a 30-foot boat!
David Beck from Sundance Marine, who distributes Beneteau in Victoria and Tasmania, is excited about this new model. "At 11m, we really think this is the sweet spot in terms of size for an entry-level cruiser in our market and we've already got one on order to arrive in time for next year's Melbourne Boat Show."
