The winds of change on the BENETEAU Antares line continues with the new Antares 7. Comfortable and pleasant, the Antares 7 is now more versatile than ever. Innovations and clever ideas, such as the side boarding door, large starboard walkway, integrated equipment in the hard top, separate heads, spacious berths and storage, combine to make it the ideal boat for family time on the water, weekend cruises, or fishing trips with friends.
A DISTINCTIVE ELEGANT DESIGN
The stylish new Antares 7 proudly boasts energy and elegance. The rubbing strake positioned near the top of the freeboard lengthens the boat’s lines. True to the DNA of the line, the weekender has kept all its hallmarks, such as the arch formed by the wheelhouse roof - by adding a more distinctive look and a touch of modernity. The Cruising and Fishing versions of the Antares 7 have their own specific decorations applied to the wheelhouse and hull.
AN INGENIOUS BOAT: MODULARITY DELIVERING COMFORT AND LEISURE
For fishing, swimming, tanning yourself, sharing a meal, and fully enjoying all the pleasures of the water, the Antares 7 always delivers. The boat’s beam does not exceed 2.5 m, so it is trailerable by road, perfect for exploring lots of new places. Access is easy, with a starboard boarding door, which is practical when docking. The large U-shaped cockpit comfortably seats 5 people for lunches and relaxing in good company. There is a fold-down port bench in the freeboard and a bench facing forward, which can also contain a cooler. Naturally, all these seats are easily converted into a spacious sunbathing area. The many storage areas throughout the cockpit provide the ideal space to stow away equipment on board for one or two days.
A new feature: the Antares 7 cockpit has been displaced slightly to port. This frees up space for a large starboard walkway, making it easy to access the forward sun pad and anchor locker. The wheelhouse can be extended by a bimini top, to offer passengers full protection in the cockpit. It can also be fitted with longitudinal bars to securely store additional equipment, such as a paddle board. The Antares 7 has a pleasant saloon with an unprecedented level of comfort. The modularity is enhanced with a rotating driver’s seat and a co-driver’s bench that flips round in no time. With the second bench or berth, this creates facing seats. The small galley, located behind the driver’s seat, is fitted with a hob, sink and fridge. The focus on detail and ergonomics can be seen in the saloon, with a particularly comfortable driving station, with a black single-piece dashboard.
