2026 Beneteau Antares 8

The Beneteau Antares 8 is a 23-foot fiberglass cuddy cabin built for weekend cruising and family use. Rated for up to 250 HP, this boat balances comfort with sportiness, offering genuine overnight capability in a manageable size.

The helm features a captain's chair with bolster support, steering compass, and integrated electronics space, plus a sliding side window for fresh air. Below, the bow cabin holds a double berth, while the salon includes a reversible seat and a convertible dinette that doubles as sleeping space. A full head compartment and galley with sink complete the interior; the galley is set up to accept an optional cooking hob and refrigerator. Storage is distributed throughout, and a sliding window and door provide additional ventilation and access.

The cockpit lounge can be converted to a sunbed and is complemented by an in-deck storage box. The swim platform and folding ladder make water access easy, while mooring cleats, side rails, cup holders, and two rod holders round out the practical deck layout. A walkthrough transom provides direct access between the cockpit and swimming area.
