This is an exceptionally well-specified Antares 760. With the addition of the bow thruster, diesel heating, and full canvas canopy, she is perfectly set up for comfortable, multi-day coastal cruising in any weather. The highly sought-after shaft drive setup ensures simpler, lower-cost maintenance compared to sterndrive models.
Early viewings are highly recommended, as highly capable, shaft-driven pocket cruisers with this level of specification are in immense demand.
The Beneteau Antares 760 is widely regarded as one of the most reliable, stable, and practical pocket cruisers ever built. Featuring a highly efficient hull and an RCD Category B (Offshore) rating, this boat offers exceptional sea-keeping capabilities—giving you complete confidence whether you are navigating calm bays or handling coastal chop.
Powered by a robust 200hp Volvo Penta TAMD41P inboard diesel engine on a traditional shaft drive, this vessel delivers the perfect balance of economic cruising and reliable performance. This particular example comes equipped with premium upgrades usually found on much larger vessels, including a bow thruster for stress-free docking, diesel heating for year-round cruising comfort, and a full cockpit canopy enclosure that effectively doubles your usable living space.
