2026 Beneteau Antares 9 V2

The Beneteau Antares 9 V2 is a 29-foot express cruiser built on a fiberglass hull with twin Mercury outboards. Designed as a weekend getaway boat, it balances modern styling with the traditional elegance of the Antares range. The Airstep hull design provides smooth running in varied conditions, while a 158-gallon fuel tank and 42-gallon freshwater capacity support extended cruising.

The boat sleeps up to two in independent cabins, with a full head and galley serving both spaces. The pilothouse is the social heart of the design, featuring a three-part sliding door and panoramic sunroof that flood the space with natural light and provide 360-degree visibility. The salon includes facing seats and a modular co-pilot's chair that swivels to face either the helm station or the panoramic view. A starboard side door facilitates movement around the helm.

Topside, the cockpit spans roughly 5 by 8 feet and is fitted with U-shaped seating that converts to sunbathing areas—a natural gathering space for time on the water. The bright, open layout throughout reinforces the sense of space and comfort that defines the Antares 9.
