Description




Beneteau Antares 8.8
This Beneteau Antares 8.8 is a versatile sports cruiser designed for coastal adventures and relaxed weekends on the water. The 2006 model runs on twin Volvo D3 160hp diesel engines with balanced hours and recent servicing. The setup delivers confident handling, smooth acceleration, and efficient cruising.
Inside, the layout feels practical and welcoming. A forward double cabin and a convertible saloon berth provide flexible sleeping options. The compact galley includes a stove and fridge, while an enclosed shower compartment adds comfort for overnight stays. Storage is generous throughout, keeping longer trips easy to manage.
On deck, a stainless steel-framed awning offers shade and shelter. A Lewmar electric windlass with stainless steel chain, a Plow anchor, and a full mooring kit support simple anchoring and docking. A hot and cold shower on the swim platform adds convenience after a day on the water.
Her equipment list enhances both independence and safety. Solar charging, updated batteries, shore power, and a voltage monitor keep energy management simple. Navigation comes through a Raymarine chart plotter, depth sounder, and VHF, offering reliable guidance.
With ongoing mechanical upgrades and Beneteau’s proven hull design, this Antares 8.8 stands ready for new cruising adventures. She blends comfort, practicality, and capability in a compact and enjoyable package.
