2026 Beneteau Antares 8

The Beneteau Antares 8 is a 23-foot fiberglass cuddy cabin designed as a comfortable weekender for family cruising. Single gasoline engine with a maximum rating of 250 HP powers the boat, which balances sporty handling with habitable overnight accommodations and generous deck space.

The helm features a captain's chair with bolster support, a steering compass, and dedicated electronics space, along with a sliding side window for ventilation. Below deck, a bow cabin holds a double berth, while the salon offers a reversible seat and a convertible dinette that transforms into an additional double berth. A full head compartment and galley area with sink complete the interior, with space available for optional cooking equipment and refrigeration. Storage is distributed throughout the cabin, and a sliding side window and door provide access to the deck.

The cockpit includes an optional convertible lounge to sunbed configuration, in-deck storage, and a walk-through transom. The swim platform features a folding ladder, side rails, mooring cleats, cup holders, and two rod holders for fishing capability. The open deck space and thoughtful layout balance comfort with functionality for weekend getaways.
