2024 Beneteau Antares 8 V2

The 2024 Beneteau Antares 8 V2 is a 26-foot fiberglass cruiser built around a sporty, elegant design that balances style with practical weekender comfort. The boat accommodates up to nine passengers across its open layout, with a sleek profile and streamlined appearance that defines its recreational character.

Accommodation includes a single cabin and head, while the cockpit and saloon areas maximize social space through modular design. The removable tabletop converts the stern bench seat, port freeboard bench, and saloon-backing bench into either a generous sunbathing area or dining configuration. A starboard side gate simplifies boarding and docking, while wide flush platforms serve as both safe walkways and a swim platform. The widened starboard walkway provides easy access to the bow's sunbathing area.

Smart storage and practicality define the layout. The rear bench seat slides forward to access engine compartments, and the opposite bench can house an ice-box for provisions. Ample storage occupies the cockpit sole, while a roof rack accommodates larger items like kayaks, paddleboards, or bicycles. The modular cockpit arrangement ensures crew comfort during cruising, and all major systems and features are built to Beneteau's standard specifications.
