2026 Beneteau Antares 8

The Beneteau Antares 8 is a 23-foot fiberglass cuddy cabin built for weekend cruising and family outings. Rated for up to 250 horsepower, the boat combines comfortable overnight accommodation with open deck space and agile handling. The helm features a captain's chair with bolster support, steering compass, electronics mounting space, and a sliding side window for fresh air.

Below deck, a bow cabin houses a double berth, and the main salon includes a reversible seat and convertible dinette that transforms into a second double berth. A full head compartment and galley with sink provide the essentials for overnight stays; the galley can accommodate optional cooking and refrigeration equipment. A sliding side window and door open the cabin to the exterior.

Topside, the cockpit includes an optional convertible lounge or sunbed, integrated in-deck storage, and a walkthrough transom leading to a swim platform with folding ladder. The boat is outfitted with side rails, mooring cleats, cup holders, and two rod holders for fishing.
