2003 Beneteau Antares 13.80

The Beneteau Antares 13.80 Flybridge was the flagship of the Antares inboard range during its time and is today regarded as a classic sports cruiser. Measuring nearly 14 metres in length, this stunning vessel is not only a real head-turner but was designed to deliver an ultra-smooth and comfortable cruising experience- even in less than ideal conditions. Anyone who has spent time on a 13.80 in worsened conditions at sea will happily confirm just how well the designers succeeded, these are extremely seaworthy boats.  Powered by Volvo Penta TAMD75P engines, this 13.80 will cruise effortlessly at 22 knots and can reach a maximum speed of nearly 30 knots. The spacious interior comfortably accommodates up to six guests, featuring three well-appointed cabins comprising a double cabin located forward and two twin cabins situated amidships. Additionally, the boat includes two heads, each fully equipped with showers, sinks, and toilets, adding to the onboard comfort and making extended family cruising a luxurious experience. This particular model has been further enhanced with extended range fuel tanks, increasing her capacity to an impressive 2,000 litres of diesel.
