Beneteau Antares 9 For Sale UK

With an innate sense of detail and comfort, the Beneteau Antares 9 is an invitation to spend extended time at sea. Modern and stylish, she preserves the traditional elegance of the Beneteau Antares range whilst delivering enhanced features compared to its predecessors. Autonomy, habitability, panache – she has everything to make short cruising a luxurious experience.

Day Cruiser Meets Family Weekender

Building on the Antares 8, the Beneteau Antares 9 is noticeably wider, providing more interior volume for entertaining friends and family. The vessel also boasts a more developed wheelhouse and saloon area, with a bigger galley, and more seating and headroom that feels closer to a small cruiser than a dayboat.

It also includes a separate enclosed heads compartment with shower and a more substantial forward owner’s cabin, making multi‑night trips more comfortable.

A highly capable and versatile boat, it is perfectly suited to relaxed socialising with friends or setting off on longer coastal adventures with family, comfortably bridging the gap between a weekender and a compact cruiser.

Exterior Boat Design

With her Airstep® hull, the Beneteau Antares 9 cuts gently through the waves offering a comfortable ride and safe navigation. U-shaped seats are convertible to sunbathing areas, while her attractive spacious cockpit (1.53 x 2.40 m) is a great place to relax with friends. With up to 2 x 200 hp power, she boasts the very latest technological developments in terms of outboard engines.

Interior Boat Design

Two separate cabins, one galley and a cleverly fitted shower room make it the ideal boat for cruises with family and friends. With wraparound windows, the pilothouse has a panoramic view and is incredibly bright. There is a real feeling of space and the lounge is cleverly organised with a co-pilot seat that swings round. This means you can sit facing the sea or facing the chart table.

Performance and Handling

On the water, the boat delivers a confident performance. This is thanks to its larger, more stable hull design and powerful outboard engines. This power makes it particularly well suited to longer passages and heavier loads, while still remaining approachable for less experienced skippers. This handling, as well as excellent fuel efficiency, allows for strong mid-range cruising, ensuring every coastal journey is relaxed and enjoyable.

Thanks to its increased size, enhanced comfort, refined finishes, and proven seaworthiness, the Antares 9 clearly stands out as a step up within its class, offering a compelling upgrade for owners seeking more space and a supreme cruising experience.

Why Choose the Antares 9?

This vessel is ideal for boaters who want genuine “big boat” comfort without sacrificing onbaord comfort or ease of handling. Its twin outboard configuration offers reassuring reliability and strong performance, yet remains simple to maintain and manage, even for owners moving up from smaller weekenders. The blend of spacious accommodation and a bright, practical pilothouse means you can genuinely treat it as a floating second home for frequent getaways.

Equally at ease on a quick day trip or a long coastal escape, the model’s layout encourages relaxed social time at anchor and stress‑free passages between destinations. Clever design details, such as wide side decks for safety and flexible seating that transitions effortlessly from dining to lounging, demonstrate that this is a boat created for ultimate cruising comfort.

For many owners, it hits a sweet spot: large and luxurious enough to feel like a sophisticated cruiser, yet compact and versatile enough to enjoy frequent casual trips with friends and family.
