2026 Beneteau Antares 7 Cruising

Antares 7
A host of new features, for greater comfort and versatility

Designed specifically for the family leisure market, Antares 7 adopts innovative solutions that make it the perfect choice for longer excursions. The fittings are designed to make sailing and life on board as comfortable as possible, making this a relaxing, versatile weekender. Antares 7 is also available in a Fishing version, with a deck layout and equipment designed for a great fishing experience.

Easy to transport by road, Antares 7 promises a wealth of new discoveries and coastal cruising experiences.

Exterior design
The Antares 7 proudly displays a vigorous, dynamic style.

Its taut, clean lines confer a sporty allure, like the rubbing strake that gives the boat its lean, elegant silhouette. This new unit asserts its own character while retaining the characteristic features of the Antares range. Its cockpit, slightly offset to port, offers a wide gangway to starboard that facilitates access to the forward sunpad.

Interior Design
The care taken in designing the Antares 7 silhouette follows into the saloon, which has a particularly attractive helm station. Fitted with an all-black dashboard in a single piece, it elegantly compliments the boat's overall finish. The many glazed windows and ventilation openings offer all passengers superb panoramic views and excellent aeration. The cabin's numerous storage spaces and modularity make for a very comfortable life on board.

FISHING VERSION
In the Fishing version, the aft benchseat is replaced by a fishing station equipped with rod-holders, cup-holders, cutting board and storage space for lures and hooks.

A livewell is located to port. 

WALKTHROUGH
Join us for an extraordinary visit.

HIGHLIGHTS

STARBOARD SIDE GATE
The starboard side gate makes docking even easier, while creating an additional, safe access to the sea for swimming or hauling fish in.

VAST U-SHAPED COCKPIT
The cockpit can comfortably seat up to 5 people. All the seats, and the large folding table, can be converted into a spacious sunpad.

COMFORTABLE SALOON
The Antares 7 saloon offers outstanding comfort. Modularity is enhanced by a swivelling pilot's seat, and a co-pilot benchseat that tilts in an instant to face the second benchseat, or to create a berth. The galley area is located behind the pilot's seat.
