The 2024 Beneteau Antares 8 Fishing is a 26-foot fiberglass sports cruiser built for fishing and coastal cruising. Powered by a single Mercury 250 XL gasoline engine, it combines practical fishing features with comfortable accommodations. The boat's modular cockpit layout prioritizes movement and accessibility, with a dedicated fishing station featuring professional-grade rod holders replacing the traditional aft bench. A starboard side access gate eases mooring and landing larger catches.
Below deck, the Antares 8 offers sleeping accommodations for up to five passengers, with two double berths—one in the cabin and one in the wheelhouse—plus an additional berth that can be arranged in the saloon space. Storage is abundant with three under-deck compartments, including one sized for a fish box. A water-circulation live bait well supports extended fishing trips.
The cabin includes a kitchenette fitted with a refrigerator and a choice of gas or electric hob, with air conditioning available as an option. Every detail has been optimized for both function and comfort, making this boat practical for serious fishing while remaining suitable for leisurely cruising.
