NEW Beneteau Antares 8 OB V2 Fishing Edition

A mid range model in BENETEAU's weekender range, the new Antares 8 preserves the signature features of BENETEAU's longstanding expertise in building innovative, high performance, family friendly boats. The Antares 8 offers novel features designed specially for lovers of nautical pursuits, with a special focus on fishing enthusiasts. The Antares 8 now comes in two versions, Cruising, which provides exceptional onboard comfort and conviviality, and Fishing, which has everything fishing enthusiasts may need.

Designed for physically demanding fishing trips, Antares 8 Fishing has an open cockpit that makes it easier to move around the boat; everything about is perfectly designed, right down to the smallest detail. The rear bench seat is replaced by a fishing station that comes with professional grade rod holders. In addition to the recirculating live well tank, this Fishing version also has three storage compartments under the cockpit sole, one of which can take a fish box.
Rod holders are fitted into the freeboards, and also on the roof's hardtop extension. The roof can also be fitted with a 12 inch display used to survey fishing grounds. Continuing our tour of the roof, there is a search spotlight in the rear, and a LED light at the front for better nighttime visibility.

The Antares 8 retains the tulip shaped hull design that is the flagship feature of the Antares range, making this a boat that has excellent stability on the water and handles well in all conditions. The ergonomically designed helm station has an optional 12 inch control panel. With its powerful 250 horsepower engine, the Antares 8 can reach a top speed of 35 knots.
