2026 Beneteau Antares 12

The 2026 Beneteau Antares 12 is a 42-foot express cruiser built on a fiberglass hull and powered by three Mercury 300 Verado engines producing 900 total horsepower. The boat reaches speeds of 39 knots and cruises efficiently at 28 knots. Joystick piloting comes standard, making handling intuitive in close quarters and tight spaces.

The accommodations include two cabins and two heads, arranged with a spacious forward stateroom and a full-beam salon amidships. Panoramic windows flood the salon with natural light, while the aft deck opens to an expansive swim platform and lounge area. A fiberglass cockpit table and foredeck table provide practical dining and entertaining surfaces, and the flybridge extends the outdoor living space further.

Equipment and systems are comprehensive. Garmin electronics include three 12-inch displays (two in the salon, one on the flybridge), a depth finder, and VHF radio. A Seakeeper Gyro 3 stabilization system manages roll, while Zipwake automatic trim tabs optimize running attitude. The bow thruster aids maneuverability. A Fusion stereo and speaker system with interior, exterior, and flybridge components deliver sound throughout the boat. Galley appliances include a microwave and Kenyon electric grill. Mooring and anchoring kit included. The engines have approximately 20 hours of operation.
