The new Antares 9 stands out with its dynamic, elongated lines. Inspired by the Antares 11 and 12 models, it presents an appealing silhouette that is complemented by a stainless steel rubbing strake and large windows in the hull. With its clear design, this new model epitomises the Antares line on every cruising area.
Reinforced backrests on the Beneteau
All living areas on board the new model have been redesigned to ensure good comfort. The upholstery in the cockpit is now even more comfortable and the backrests have been reinforced. High-quality lacquered furniture and walnut wood give the interior a sophisticated touch, while the upholstery creates a pleasant atmosphere.
A multitude of innovations and well thought-out features increase the utility value of this weekender. The modular cockpit is spacious (1.70 m x 2.40 m) and offers an L-shaped bench seat, which can be converted into a U-shaped seating area with an optional seat. The cockpit bench seat can also be converted into a sun lounger that invites you to relax. A wide sliding glass door enables an effortless transition between indoor and outdoor areas and creates a generous living space.
Good quality of life on board
The new Antares 9 combines all the strengths of the model range and is an ideal boat for outings with family and friends. The interior is designed to offer a good quality of life on board. The large wraparound windows let in plenty of daylight and the modern galley offers an 80-litre refrigerator, a gas cooker or electric hobs, an optional microwave and plenty of storage space. The swivelling seat at the helm also offers additional space at the saloon table.
