2022 Antares Hybrid

This 2022 Antares Hybrid is a 44-foot fiberglass catamaran built with premium construction methods. The hulls feature Isophthalic resin and tri-axial fiberglass with a 100% vinylester skin, foam-cored above the waterline and solid below for durability. The design incorporates standard fin keels with sacrificial sections, two forward watertight compartments, and four watertight bulkheads for structural integrity. Twin Yanmar 3JH40 diesel engines (40 hp each) power the boat through a Hybrid Marine parallel hybrid system with a 10kW electric motor, paired with Varifold folding propellers and direct shaft drive.

The interior spans three cabins across the 21.75-foot beam. The master suite occupies the starboard hull, featuring a queen berth with an extended 45mm foam mattress, a large head with separate shower and electric toilet with bidet, and an independent climate control system. The port side includes an aft guest cabin with a queen bed and the forward cabin with a lower single bunk and upper double bed. The centrally located galley operates fully electric with a Bosch induction cooktop, electric oven, and separate refrigeration and freezer. The saloon features custom Cherry wood cabinetry with Teak and Holly flooring, a raised L-shaped settee to port, and a forward-facing settee aft, with a manually adjustable triangular table that converts to coffee table or bed height.

The electrical system is anchored by 40 kWh of Victron LiFePO4 battery capacity, approximately 1,890 watts of solar panels recessed into the hardtop, and dual 3000-watt inverter/chargers providing 12V, 24V, 110V, and 220V power throughout. Navigation electronics include dual B&G Zeus3S 12-inch displays at the helm, a 9-inch display at the nav station, B&G Halo 24 radar, Simrad autopilot with backup, and Vesper Cortex V1 VHF with integrated AIS. An Echotec watermaker, dual air conditioning units, and a washer/dryer combo enhance comfort.

Deck equipment includes a Selden in-mast furling system with UK Sails mainsail, 130% genoa, and Code 0, plus an Oxley Levante spinnaker package. The electric windlass has helm and locker counters, paired with a Rocna 33kg primary anchor and Fortress stern anchor. An AB Inflatable 10VS RIB tender with 20hp Yamaha outboard is included. The cockpit features a reclining day bed, teak table, electric drawer fridge, and fishing rod holders, while an FRP hardtop with glass windshield and Sunbrella enclosure provides weather protection.
