Antares 8
The Antares 8 is the ultimate family weekender — a sleek, versatile cruiser designed for coastal adventures and relaxing getaways on the water. More innovative and modular than ever, this new-generation Antares 8 delivers exceptional comfort and style, staying true to BENETEAU’s iconic line of modern weekenders. With its clean, sporty lines and streamlined profile, the Antares 8 comes in two distinct versions: the elegant Cruising version, ideal for family trips and socializing with friends, and the robust Fishing version, which adds smart features for serious anglers. Large flush swim platforms make boarding easy and create perfect spots for a swim, while the wide starboard walkway ensures safe, easy movement from stern to bow. At the helm, the ergonomic station can be fitted with a 12-inch control panel for smooth handling, while the powerful 250 HP outboard delivers thrilling performance up to 35 knots.
Inside, the Antares 8 surprises with its clever use of space and cozy comforts for extended weekends at sea. The bright cabin includes a galley with a fridge and hob, plus an optional air-conditioning system for warm days. The boat comfortably sleeps up to five passengers, with two double berths — one in the cabin, another in the wheelhouse — and an optional berth beneath the saloon area. A stowable saloon table easily converts the bench seats into a generous sunpad, perfect for onboard meals or relaxing afternoons. For anglers, the Fishing version adds a spacious open cockpit, a professional-grade fishing station with rod holders, recirculating livewell tank, and extra storage for tackle and gear. Whether you’re cruising with family or reeling in the catch of the day, the Antares 8 is your ideal all-rounder for fun-filled days and carefree nights on the water.
