New Model: Beneteau 30 Antares

For the fall of this year French builder Beneteau decided to change the Antares range with all models over nine meters having there designation change in feet size. For the 30 Antares the French builder decided for a full replacement to the nine series, upgrading and renovating it to a new model. The 30 Antares is an innovative motor cruiser, challenging a size and style of the market, that of an entry level flybridge abandoned today by most European motor boat builders. Designed by Sarazin the new small Antares has modern looks to it with an extended flybridge covering the cockpit and an elegant looking windshield. The new small Antares is also about options giving choice to the buyer of a second central helm station up top with L-shaped settee, or replaced by a fully dedicated entertainment area, with sun pad and settee table. A further S hardtop version with patio door is also in the works, and should be launched before the end of the year. Watch PowerYachtBlog for more information on this project. Inside the 30 Antares is also a comfortable cruiser offering four berths in two cabins plus a convertible extra double bed. The main deck welcomes you in the comfort zone with the C-shaped settee which converts to an additional double berth, galley, and lower main helm station. Below is dedicated to the sleeping quarters with the owners cabin to fore featuring a queen size berth, double bunk guest cabin, and a shower head. Power is by a single Yanmar 380hp, the French Group in recent times taking this more economic choice for its smaller models.
