Review: New Beneteau Antares 8 Fishing
Beneteau has welcomed a new model into its weekender range. The Antares 8 is the perfect vessel for leisurely or fast-paced fishing trips.
Beneteau crafts are known for their luxury features, innovative designs, and high performance – the new Antares 8 is no exception. With a sharp focus on fishing, the Antares 8 is the perfect choice for even the most discerning of boating anglers.
The Antares 8 Fishing model is the ideal angling vessel. Fitted with the latest fishing equipment, the model is ready to take on even the most demanding of fishing trips.
Comfort is a priority for Beneteau designers, so it is unsurprising that the Antares 8 delivers this in spades. There is plenty of space to move around the boat, making it easy to take groups out fishing. A long day on the water is made so much more comfortable by the clever design of this little gem, and it’s clear that a great deal of thought has gone into every detail.
The optional 12-inch control panel on the helm station makes for easy navigation and cruising, adding to the comfort and functionality of the vessel.
The Fishing model boasts many qualities, but the most outstanding are space and style. From the open cockpit, anglers can easily keep an eye on the ocean and the rest of the vessel. Big game beware: the rear of the boat features a fishing station with professional-grade rod holders. It’s easy to store your catch and keep it fresh in the Antares 8. The Fishing model has a convenient recirculating livewell tank and storage compartments under the cockpit sole.
Finding fish is no problem in the Antares 8. The roof can be fitted with a 12-inch display fish finder, while a search spotlight is fitted into the rear for twilight fishing. With a top speed of 35kt and a powerful 250-horsepower engine, the Antares 8 can get you where you need to go.
The Antares 8 will make its debut at the Southampton International Boat Show and will then feature in numerous shows across Europe, including events in La Rochelle, Barcelona and Paris.
