2024 Beneteau Antares 8 V2

The 2024 Beneteau Antares 8 V2 is a 26-foot fiberglass cruiser built around the brand's weekender philosophy. Its sleek, streamlined profile combines sporty styling with practical design. The boat accommodates up to nine passengers across its open and cabin spaces, with a single cabin and head belowdecks. Wide deck platforms flush with the hull facilitate safe boarding and serve as a swim platform, while a newly added starboard side gate improves docking convenience and allows anglers to bring aboard larger catches.

The layout centers on a modular cockpit stern with a removable tabletop that transforms the bench seating into either a sunbathing area or dining configuration. A widened starboard walkway provides easy passage to the bow's spacious sunbathing deck. The port side features a folding bench, and glazed cabin windows are integrated into the seating arrangement.

Practical storage and accessibility define the interior. The rear bench seat slides forward to access engine compartment space, while the opposite bench can house an ice-box for provisions. The cockpit sole incorporates ample locker storage for gear and accessories. A roof rack accommodates larger items such as kayaks, paddleboards, or bicycles.
