2020 Beneteau Antares 27

The 2020 Beneteau Antares 27 is a 27-foot cuddy cabin powered by twin 200 HP Mercury XL outboards. Built on Beneteau's Airstep deep-vee hull with forward deflectors and pronounced bow flare, the design delivers a dry and comfortable ride in varied conditions. The boat sits on the water with ample freeboard and incorporates thoughtful details throughout, from the dual swim platforms with boarding ladder to stainless steel grab rails across the cockpit and cabin.

The cabin is bright and open, surrounded by large windows and a one-piece windshield, with an all-glass aft salon bulkhead featuring a three-leaf sliding door. Dual hardtop skylights and an opening sliding hatch flood the space with natural light, while the starboard cabin side door opens directly from the helm seat to the walk-around deck—useful for maneuvering during docking. The interior offers over six feet of headroom. Forward is a spacious master berth larger than double-wide, lit by hullside windows and twin overhead hatches, with an adjacent head featuring a marine toilet, vanity, and shower wand. A mid-cabin berth to port provides additional sleeping quarters. The salon includes a convertible dinette to port that converts to a forward-facing companion seat, galley to starboard with stainless steel sink, two-burner propane stove and refrigerator, and a single helm seat with hydraulic steering and flip-up forward bolster.

The cockpit features an overhanging hardtop extension for weather protection, a transom gate accessing a deep well, and a four-place sliding transom bench seat with under-seat storage. A cockpit locker houses the propane tank; port-side storage accommodates mooring lines. The boat comes equipped with a Dometic 360 joystick, CANTrak auto hold position, SeaStation GPS, fresh water macerator toilet, new radar arch, 360 Marinco spotlight, Garmin aft camera, Zipwake, Starlink, autopilot, radar, AIS, a 2000W charger-inverter with additional battery bank, and a Rocna anchor. The navigation dash includes helm seating with standard controls and room for multi-function displays.
